Actor Kevin Bacon was so inspired when his wife Kyra Sedgwick won an arm wrestling contest, he immediately penned a song about her victorious strength.

The Mystic River star, who fronts rock act The Bacon Brothers, went straight home and wrote Arm Wrestling Woman.

He says, "I wrote a song about my wife called Arm Wrestling Woman. We were at a street fair and they had an arm wrestling tent and she decided to get in there.

"I was like, 'Honey, what are you doing?' She said, 'I have to do this!' And she won! It was crazy."
