There was so much great pop, "alternative," and quasi-alternative music coming out around that time, during the "second British invasion." There was a lot of Good stuff competing for our attention that had to compete with a good deal of mediocre stuff that was over-promoted. You'd have an OK song getting played every hour on MTV and pop gems that should have been hits getting little if any play. But Wang Chung were pretty big for a while. I think they had strong promotional support from their record company.
Yeah the 90 were good too. Maybe not as good as the 80s. I think anyone born after 1985 kind of got the raw end of the deal. I was born in 84 and graduated high school in 2002. I think my class and maybe the class of 2003 were that last graduating classes that didn't have to deal with cell phones and computers just taking over everything. Childhood is completely different now.
Absolutely love this move!. Judd Nelson was cool, Ally Sheedy was sexy as hell, and the soundtrack rocked. I also really liked the song that played in the library when they all got stoned and rocked out...."we are not alone" by Karla Devito. awesome song. And of course the ending song "Dont you forget about me" by Simple Minds. This movie imo was the apotheosis of the "brat-pack" movies.

One of my all time favorite movies & I have all of John Hugh's movies. He was a natural at making teen movies, real ones, with great music that invokes the deepest part of our souls when we listen/watch again..Growing up in the 80's would not have been the same without JH's movies (90's too, Uncle Buck, ect.). He is right behind Michael Jackson for memories & importance in my 80's upbringing. This kick ass song is my 2nd fav. song in the Breakfast Club. "Don't you... forget about about me...." We won't John. :)
Seeing Wang Chung Friday. They've been doing Twilight on tour. The concert will also be 10 minutes away from the location where they filled Breakfast Club.
1985 was the year too be 13-16 years old, the breakfast club and Back to the future, Beverly Hills cop and ferris beaullers day off, so many great films, such great music as well.
Man, I was 17 in 1980 and that Whole decade was GREAT !!! Was it Great because the Atmosphere and Society was that much better then today or was it because I was Just a Young Kid and didn’t know any better ? I can tell you this, my life from 17-23 was SO MUCH FREER & Less Stressed then my Son’s 17-23…. Yet, he’s having a Great time with friends, bandmates & housemates….YOUTH CONCURS ALL !!!
I saw Wang Chung open for the Cars in 1984. New Haven Coliseum in Connecticut. Every body Wang Chung tonight was their big hit. I actually don’t remember this song. But they obviously played it that night.

I’ve been watching the Breakfast Club for 30 years and I’ve only just found out this was Wang Chung. I had a mate who studied martial arts and I constantly asked him how his Wang Chung was going (he studied Wing Chun). Ah, the LOLs
joe pee-pee yeah ive noticed him a lot over the years ...."Phoenix" with ray liotta , "Bulletproof" with adam sandler , and he played the waynegro character from LA takedown ( remade into HEAT with deniro and pacino )

I always loved this song, but I was today years old when I first saw this video. It's gloriously bad even by 80s standards, and I'm here for all of it!
I love this song and the Breakfast Club. 80s movies, music, and time seemed so damn fun to live in. Not to sound all negative but I hate living in this year. The music sucks, movies suck, and the most people suck lol. I'm sure every era had good and bad but 2020s suck ass already just sayin' 🤣
@@killyourtelevision999 I feel sorry for kids being kids today. It's so depressing today. We can be as positive as we choose but its still not a good time for children or anyone.
This IS the theme song of the Breakfast Club. Wang Chug is so underrated, how were they not much bigger than they became??
You should check out the wang chung drummers solo album under the artist name "heroes " titled "here we are" from 1987.
That guy has a deep voice.

These two look like they got along great as a duo.
@chadergeist this song is better than that one. It's not even simple minds best song. That one is "Alive and Kicking"
Don’t You Forget About Me is the theme or should I say anthem of The Breakfast Club.
The whole world has to love the Breakfast Club and this amazing track !!
Thomas Edouard This song alone got me to rediscover my love affair with the 80's.
It was a great film with great acting and music.
I couldn't disagree with anyone anymore I just fell the same ❤️ too that's crazy isn't it 🤗
I like the fact he's running in this video AND they ran in the hallways while this song was being played in the movie
I’m starting to envy those who lived in this era during their teens or adolescence. Times are changing for better or worse I’d argue worse ..
Completely agree
The 90s were alright too
Much worse, I didn’t know everyone’s personal thoughts back then. And for the better.
@@bradlafferty6076Best comment ever!

You will get the answer to that mr. Bender, next Saturday.

Wanna hear my excuse? I was thinkin of tryin for a scholarship.
Classic 80's song from one of the greatest 80's movies of all time...
Molly Ringwald at 2:20 enjoying the movie w Chung.
the most 80s sounding song ever
Try "a heart too hot to hold". It's from the same soundtrack. 😉
Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place...
Bunch'o'wussies--would rather go to weekend detention than get spanked--their parents didn't sign the swats agreement; a tight hook thoe.
Excuse me sir why would anyone steal a screw
😅🤣😅🤣
Those Synths! 80's Forever!

This kick ass song is my 2nd fav. song in the Breakfast Club.
"Don't you... forget about about me...." We won't John. :)
Yes!
I’m thinking of trying out for a scholarship
This is clearly the best thing ever produced in this lifetime
Music is the closest thing we have to a time machine.
and movies they go hand in hand..
Wow. So true. I’ve never thought of it that way but it is so true. Thank you for that.
I also treated myself with a car from the 80s. ❤
I think this song is about the character of John Bender. He is "The man who leads the way",
I agree
Thanks for helping me with a class assignment 💪💪
I loved that song and thought it should have been a hit. Favorite song on B. C. Soundtrack
Molly Ringwald cameo at 2:20
You're welcome!

Yeah, 14 &;15 that year. We spend one Summer repeated watching The Breakfast Club in my basement with my group of friends.
I was 17 and it was an amazing time to be young!
Even better if you were 20
@@tmlafrance But you’re not a teenager anymore.
I was 16.
"Why didn't you listen to John?!" My favorite movie 😄
Just noticed the Ringwald cameo at 2:20.
Awesome song
Excellent! I love Wang Chung.

1:07 OMG is that fish singing the chorus? lol
it is actually a good tune, not just from the breakfast club a good 80's tune
A Goofy but artistically creative music video with a cameo appearance from Molly Ringwald.
I don't care how cheesy 80's MV's were, I ADORE cheese. :)
"MAKE AMERICA THE 80'S AGAIN"
I love this never take it down!!!!!
They would score To Live & Die in LA rather brilliantly !
I saw Wang Chung open for the Cars in 1984. New Haven Coliseum in Connecticut. Every body Wang Chung tonight was their big hit. I actually don’t remember this song. But they obviously played it that night.
The Cars + Wang Chung had to be a PHENOMENAL night!
Década de 80. ôh época boa. Saudades.
Mate, I reckon this would fit perfectly in stranger things
Sweet 80's!
Breakfast Club brought me here
Me too.
@@TomKennedy-no8omim pretty sure it was written for the film like Don’t You Forget About Me.
@@opaljk4835 Good tune no matter.
I love the 80s one of the best music decades
At 2:20, Molly Ringwald is there in the audience.
You're right, looking as bored as ever
"The man leads the way, the man leads way". Very well.
"How come Andy get's to get up? If he gets up, we'LL ALL GET UP, IT'LL BE ANARCHY!!"
I never understood why Mr. Vernon got mad at Andy for HIS idea lmao
i love the editing in this video!

A guy with a mullet and sport coat knocked over my shopping cart yesterday, but the force of his sheer awesomeness picked it back up.
Hey, thanks for this! This is awesome! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber! :)
I’ve been watching the Breakfast Club for 30 years and I’ve only just found out this was Wang Chung. I had a mate who studied martial arts and I constantly asked him how his Wang Chung was going (he studied Wing Chun). Ah, the LOLs
this is the best thing ever
Great song. I always thinkin of runnin in the halls in tbe breakfast club
--- I've never seen this entire video before today. --- 18JUL21
Rockin' tune that should have been a hit IMO. Did this song chart?
How do you know where he went, I don’t, how do you know when he’ll be back, I don’t, being bad feels pretty good don’t it? - John Bender
I’m just picturing that scene where the Brat Pack are running around the halls of the school trying to get to the library
The guy with the Shopping trolley on the floor is that Xander Berkley ?? ( todd from Terminator 2 )
Haha ya totally! "She's not my mother Toooodd."
lol...he was also in "sid & nancy" and "a few good men" :)
joe pee-pee yeah ive noticed him a lot over the years ...."Phoenix" with ray liotta , "Bulletproof" with adam sandler , and he played the waynegro character from LA takedown ( remade into HEAT with deniro and pacino )
Great song
I didn't even know this existed. What other Wang Chung music vidoes do I not know about?
Also wtf, Nick is just everywhere.
Their big one is Everybody Have Fun Tonight

Pobre Nick Feldman, durante este vídeo siempre sufre accidentes, pero este es el más trágico de todos.
Afortunadamente Jack Hues revierte el tiempo y Nick Feldman logra salvarse.
Muy cierto!
Ferris Bueller is a great soundtrack too.
I always loved this song, but I was today years old when I first saw this video. It's gloriously bad even by 80s standards, and I'm here for all of it!
I now have the urge to leg it down a high school hallway with 4 other mates, while ducking the principal like we owe him money during detention
I want to do that but most of my friends haven’t seen the breakfast club and the teachers will crucify me
For 30 years I have a sung this song as (THE MAN NEEDS A WIFE).Thank you UTUBE.
excellent! when i was little i thought the beatles' "paperback writer" was "take the back right turn" lol.
I love this song
Grammy award kick drum tone.
name of song at end?

😂 Lol its funny how the song gets cut off at the end and the videodrome songs starts playing
High-school detention hallway runs😊😊

3:45 what music is that full version anyone
Whenever I used to skip class(graduated 2011) and i see the principal i would automatically hear this song and book it
Class class class
Godt lavet at den går baglæns men god film jeg elsker John Hughes film dem han har instrueret
