Some music from the movies

From Nov. 14, Sirius XM Channel 8
Modern English, "I Melt with You", 1983. It was in one of the John Hughes movies, I think maybe "The Breakfast Club." 2,000. I checked, so I guess not a John Hughes film. It was in "Valley Girl" and a number of other movies. There even was a movie "I Melt with You" in this century with Rob Lowe and Sasha Grey.
Dream Academy, "Life in a Northern Town". I can't remember the year. 1986? All I can say is the "mau mau mau mau" just kind of takes it out of the dreaminess and gets it up to 4,400.
Scandal featuring Patty Smyth, "The Warrior", 1984, I think. It's pretty good, but nothing special. 4,150.
Ready for the World, "Oh Sheila", '85. Very standard mid-to-late-'80s stuff. 4,600, but that might be a little high. It's so standard that it's probably why I can't remember whether Ready for the World ever had another hit.
The Romantics, "What I Like About You", 1980. 2,100.
Duran Duran, "Hungry Like the Wolf". I'm not sure of the year. 3,300. I'll have to check to see if the band got its name from the character in "Barbarella." Just checked. Wikipedia said the band did take the name from the movie character -- who actually was Durand-Durand, according to imdb.com.
Robert Plant, "In the Mood", 1984. Robert sings that he's in the mood for a melody, but what really carries this song and makes it interesting are the instrumentals with the guitar and drums. They carry it up to 3,600.
Dead or Alive, "You Spin Me Round" -- or in the lyrics, "right 'round, baby, right 'round." It was from 1985. 3,350.
Huey Lewis & the News, "I Want a New Drug" from 1984. It's a bit monotonous, but it's a love song: "I want a new drug. One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you." 4,250
Aerosmith, "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)". A pretty rocking song, I think from '87. 2,600.
