80's Movies and Songs

[ponty 0]

A spin off thread if you will. Give the lyrics of a song in a movie in the 80's. Name the movie, song, and artist.

Classic 80's here:

"Looking out a dirty old window

Down below the cars in the city go rushing by

I sit here alone and I wonder why.

Friday night and everyone's moving..."

Hint: think in terms of John John.

This should be a very hard one. We shall see.

I definately know the song and the artist, I dont think I should post it before the movie is figured out though, should I?

[ponty 0]

Sure. Why not. If you are old like me its pretty easy but the rest of you are gonna be like what the hell are you talking about ... B)

[tjobity 0]

Nah, I'm not that old. There are a lot of covers of this song, so I'm sure many people will have heared it. I'm pretty sure the original artist was Kim Wilde, and the song is Kids in America.

[ponty 0]

Correct.

Another hint. The movie was released in 1984.

[Briggy 0]

Karate Kid or once upon a time in america?

[ponty 0]

Nope. Tougher than that.

[mack 44]

Crap, all I know is that it's "Kids in America" by Kim something. Wild?

Edit: Derrrr, didn't even see TJ had gotten that part already.

If Mack cant get it I might be in touble.

Another hint: the main actresses name can also be used as a males AND she is blonde and is known today.

The main actor was also in a more recent movie where he played the "smarter" brother in "Benny and Joon"

I love driving around doing drive by's with "Kids in America" playing in Vice City.

That was one of my songs that would get me pumped up to do drills with hockey. Nuts but it was between that and "Beat It."

Crazy Train was always a favorite.

Yeah "Beat It" gets me pumped to, another weird old song thats fun to workout/listen to in the dressing room is "Japanese Boy" by Aneka.

But back to the topic.

Nightmare on Elm Street?

[ponty 0]

Nope. You guys are gonna hate me. Focus on the actors in the movie and put the pieces togther.

Who was the brother in Benny and Joon? Actor 1

Who did John John date for a long time? Actress 1

[mack 44]

Reckless?

[ponty 0]

YEA!!!! A guilty pleasure flick for me. Good job on the research.

[ponty 0]

Alright a bit on the obscure side Iknow. <_<

Let try an easier one.

"Turn around leaves are brown and the skies are a hazy shade of winter."

Should be much easier.

[mack 44]

Bangles from "Less Than Zero," a butchering of a novel.

[ponty 0]

Alright everyone but Mack can play! :o

[ponty 0]

Last one.

Easy movie a fairly obscure song.

"... please, please, please let me get what I want ... Lord knows it would be the first time."

[dietzie27 0]

[ponty 0]

Right song and artist. I was not thinking of that movie ... did they have it?

Think of another big 80's movie on this one.

I was going to say Clueless, they play that song in that movie but the movie is too new for that.

[ponty 0]

Its a very popular movie and the song was in it briefly. Upon futher research its a remake of the song. "Anyone..."
