In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel. It's pretty funny when John Cusack holds the boom box above his head and plays this in Say Anything.

Not because of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun...She has staying power, plus she is still hot after all these years. I hope I am still hot when I am her age.

The songs from the [URL=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120032/soundtrack]Romy and Michele[/URL] and [URL=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119229/soundtrack]Grosse Pointe Blank[/URL] soundtracks are pretty cool, I was reminded of them today when I heard Turning Japanese on the radio. I think these are eighties songs anyway.
