Default How long has it been since you heard this song?

I had not though of this song in over 25 years.

LOL. My family was just talking about that movie over the weekend, so I googled this and watched it. Hadnt seen this montage, or the movie, in years.

I do remember that when I saw it in the theater as a kid, I distinctly thought that the clothes they wound up buying were pretty cool. *shudder*

PS Beverly D'Angelo in the 80s.....rowrrr!

Unwatchable? wtf! You DO realize that Billy Zabka was in European Vacation, right?

When my friends and I discuss the great American actors like Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda, the discussion will inevitably turn to Billy Zabka. Sadly, even the great ones make one or two movies just for the paycheck.

I have that song on one of my many New wave compilation CDs. I was listening to that particular CD just the other day.

Before scrolling down through the replies, I was going to post the same thing. I never heard that song anywhere else but in that film.
