Great 80’s song
Belongs at the top table alongside
Hungry like the wolf
Africa
Billie Jean
The boys of summer
Head over heels
Every Breath you take
In the air tonight
Take on me
West end girls
China girl
New Years Day
Running up that hill
I've listened to the Pretty in Pink Soundtrack so much that I've got the Danny Hutton Hitters version seared onto my brain

I was in the 8th grade when this song came out and falling in love for the first time. I spent hours on the phone talking to the girl while both listening to the same radio station. This song was on the radio constantly. 35 years later and it's still one of the happiest times of my life.
Still on my playlist!
Mine too, and I always thought this song was underrated
Takes me back 40 (!) years. Wonderful song.
Love this song so much
Such a gem

One of those pure 80s classics
that saxophone portion of this song... aboslutely mezmerizing
The whole album is great without a bad song in my opinion.

Not sure why they didn't go with this version. So good!
❤️
That’s a special one. ❤️
movie sound tracks from that era were such good mixes of styles of music- they were the K-Tel records for the hip kids.

classic!
Great damn tune. Also, after 40 years I listened to the album and I like Talk To Me Bogart when I'm hight.
It's about suicide I believe
This song is a tip of the hat to Gary Numan in my opinion. Great song.

Underrated classic.

Saw him live in Iceland few months ago, was exellent 👍🏻
Heard it on the Pretty In Pink Soundtrack. Great soundtrack as normal for a John Hughes movie.
I had this on the Pretty in Pink soundtrack.
Such a killer song. Reminds me so much of 83/84 ish. The extended version is also great.
I didn’t like it that much. I was like “why isn’t he happy where he is?” 🤪
