Song Trivia

Thanks to Ashley

Update

The theme song, "Don't You (Forget About Me)", was written for the film by Keith Forsey. It was a number one hit for Simple Minds, and both Billy Idol and Bryan Ferry turned down offers to record it first (although in 2001, Billy Idol recorded Don't You (Forget About Me) as a bonus track for his Greatest Hits album).

Thanks to Becky Parsons

Update

Although Simple Minds scored a massive hit with '(Don't You) Forget About Me' they were less than impressed about it as it was the only song they performed which they didn't actually write. Apparently, they weren't very keen on doing the song at all.
