Opinion

This movie departed from John Hughes' previous scores, by having a mixture of 'more regular' tracks, rather than the eclectic mix of 80's britpop bands he favoured in his earlier movies, such as "Pretty In Pink" and "Some Kind Of Wonderful".

Tracks like "Mr Sandman", "Lipstick Powder and Paint", and "Tweedlee Dee" set a rather different tone than Simple Minds' "Dont You (Forget About Me)"Update Us

The touching music that can be heard at various points in the movie is called 'Rhythm Of Life' and is by Hugh Harris and is widely available on his 'Words For Our Years' album.

About the Soundtrack, how can anyone forget the hip hop music in it. Two classics are used with instrumental loops, Tone Loc's "Wild Things" and Young MC's "Bust A Move" (which was used in a hilarious scene in Dude, Where's My Car).
Thanks to John
The song played in the bar where Buck & Shanice having dessert is a sample from the song "Got More Rhymes" by Young MC.

When Buck goes to the party to find Tia, he hears rap music playing ("Bust a Move" by Young MC), and jokingly says "Who's that? The Grass Roots?" The Grass Roots were a popular band in the late 1960s, that had a string of hits, including "Lets Live For Today", "Midnight Confessions", and "Temptation Eyes", amongst others.
