WE count down the top 5 hidden gems from 80s movies.  When you do this, it’s almost impossible to avoid the great John Hughes.  He fingerprints were all over the greatest movies of the time like Weird Science (OINGO BOINGO), Pretty in Pink (OMD), Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (The Beatles) The Breakfast Club (Simple Minds) but here we capture the hidden gems in his and others films including the Karate Kid, The Wild Life, and Sixteen Candles as some of the icons of the era help me count them down and tell the stories, including Paul Young, Huey Lewis, Young MC and Tom Bailey of the Thompson Twins

Coming in at #5  it’s a song by an artist who ruled 1984 along side some other superstars of the moment, with his take no prisoners bar band the news.. It’s Walking on a Thin Line By Huey Lewis and the news from the 1984 Movie the Wild Life. My pick for the #4 position;  is a lesser known song from a 1984 blockbuster that blasts us back to the good old days when heart were young and music was king…it’s  Young Hearts by Commuter from the film the Karate kid from 1984.   Holy Crap, How I love this song. Coming in at #3 a song from blue eyed soulster who made his bones in America by covering a song originally written and recorded by the most famous duo in history.  It’s Paul Young Love of the Common People from the John Hughes classic, Sixteen Candles. So as we dive in to the #2 spot. I’m going to break my own 80s hidden gems rules a little bit… This next song was a stone cold hit when it was released.. but it really hasn’t been played a whole lot on classic stations since. it’s Bust A Move by Marvin Young otherwise known as Young MC.  from another John Hughes classic. Uncle Buck, starring the ever brilliant John Candy.  John, always the scene stealer, has one of the greatest scenes in an 80 movies ever in Uncle Buck. Ok, so here’s my number one.. It’s another one from a John Hughes film.. in fact it’s another one from 16 candles  and it’s from a scene that I believe it near the top of the John Hughes canon, and that’s saying a lot because he created so many classics scenes…

John Hughes is a master storyteller and he’s flawless in his choice of music to back up his films. . He’s crafted so many great moments from Don't You Forget about me at the end of The Breakfast Club or the Twist and Shout moment from Ferris Bueller. One of my favorites is the end scene of Sixteen Candles.  Where Molly Ringwald’s Character Samantha Baker, gets the guy of her dreams, Jake Ryan.  

This was of course After having one of the worst days of her adolescent life dealing with Farmer Ted Aka the Geek, and Long DuK Dong, and her entire family forgetting her Birthday, just when you think your heart can’t take anymore, she walks out of the church and see’s Jake gazing longingly at her while an unknown album track by Thomson Twin plays.  

It’s not just any song. It’s If You Were Here by a band who would later demolish the charts in the 80s… Thompson Twins
