Today’s Tunage: Simple

Quick … what did prototypical jock “Andy” (a.k.a. Emilio Estevez) do to earn himself a Saturday detention in the movie The Breakfast Club?

Anyone, anyone?

If you answered “taping Larry Lester’s buns together,” you’re correct (and we’ve got some fabulous door prizes for you).

Anyway, here’s Scottish new wavers Simple Minds with “Don’t You Forget About Me,” the song from John Hughes 1985 classic. Want some interesting trivia about this song? Simple Minds actually took a pass on recording it at first – as did Billy Idol, Bryan Ferry and Cy Curnin from The Fixx.

They later reconsidered, and the song became their biggest hit.

This one goes out to our good friend Liz, by the way. As always, our jukebox is also your jukebox. If you’ve got a song you want to hear, email us. Also be sure to scroll down beneath the lyrics to see all the other songs we’ve played previously …
