Description
Every time I hear "I Melt With You" by Modern English, I'm instantly transported back to the '80s classic "Valley Girl," where the soundtrack wasn't just background noise, it was the heartbeat of a generation. We'll unpack the film's standout montage and the pivotal role music played, from The Plimsouls to The Psychedelic Furs, while I share my own parallel high school journey. And of course, we can't forget those quirky lines that have become as iconic as the film itself.As we flip the record, we'll explore the evolution of '80s music hits that defined an era. From Duran Duran's chart-topping journey to The Romantics' sleep-talking beats, we're unpacking the story behind the Rockwell song "Somebody's Watching Me". Plus, a special nod to The Replacements' "Don't Tell a Soul". So tease up your hair and slip on your favorite leg warmers, we're about to hit play on a mixtape of memories and music that still resonates with us today.
