Monday Morning Music - "a brain, and an athlete, and a basketcase, a princess, and a criminal..."

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.

Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me


 "Don't You (Forget About Me)" is a song known for its being in the soundtrack to the film The Breakfast Club and performed by the band Simple Minds in 1985.

 Forsey asked Cy Curnin from The Fixx, Bryan Ferry and Billy Idol to record the song, but all three declined; Idol would later perform a cover of it on his 2001 greatest hits compilation. Schiff then suggested Forsey ask the Scottish New Wave band Simple Minds, who initially refused as well, but then agreed under the encouragement of their label, A&M. According to one account, the band "rearranged and recorded 'Don’t You (Forget About Me)' in three hours in a north London studio and promptly forgot about it."

"The Breakfast Club" should be mandatory viewing for any student about to enter high school.

Enjoy!
