Best song in an 80's movie?

Right now I'm leaning toward Shell shock by New Order, in Pretty in Pink.
But I'm unconvinced.

You?

9. Ah, yes. The beginning of the end for Simple Minds.

Not to sound all elitist and crying "sellout" and stuff, but their best output by far was up to (and including) that song.

Their new album is pretty good; and they were very good when I saw them live at the start of the month ( especially as it was the first date of the tour )

13. "Don't You Forget About Me" - Simple Minds

My senior class was really rallying for "That's What Friends Are For" as our class theme song. I led the revolt of the "weird kids" and eventually DYFAM won. It was one of the high points of my life. :D

54. St. Elmo's Fire by John Parr

Oh, sorry. I thought you said "80s movie song that sucked so hard, it almost created a black hole."

I saw John Parr open up for Sammy Hagar in 1986. He threw his guitar in the air, then missed it on the catch! He snapped the neck off his Les Paul Standard. It would have been much funnier if he hadn't destroyed such a nice guitar.

55. Romeo Void's Never Say Never from Reckless

Darryl Hannah plays the uptight cheerleader. Aidan Quinn is the guy from the wrong side of the tracks. They're at a high school dance. Cheesy music is playing. Aidan storms to the turntable (remember those?) and throws on that song, then starts dirty dancing with Darryl. God I wanted to be him.

87. 'The Professionals'

from "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains."

With a nod to "'Cause I'm a Blonde" from "Earth Girls Are Easy."

89. Post #19 can blow me!

"View to a Kill" by Duran Duran. First "Bond song" to go #1, plus it's probably Duran Duran's best song. I win.
You lose!

91. This thread reminds me of how badly most 80's music sucks.

I would have to pick any 80's movie that featured a song not released in the 80's.
