80's was the best.... Here I am 53 yrs old listening to this song.... Awesome movie also....
58 yo here...doing the same as you.
My soul aches for the 80s.
The 80s: _Lived ‘em. Loved ‘em. Miss “em._
Massively underrated song and I can't believe it wasn't included on the soundtrack.
Agreed.... I felt it was the most prominent song in the movie
I AGREE 💯 this was one of the best songs in the movie
MASSIVELY
Yes, that as well as _'Elegia'_ and _'Thieves Like Us'_ by New Order and _'Rudy'_ by Talk Balk.
I was SO disappointed that The Rave-Ups weren't on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack!! Seems like I waited _forever_ after seeing the film for the soundtrack to come in, at the record store I worked in at the time. I saw just about everything that came in, right away, but my memory could be playing tricks, and it just seemed like a long wait.
Yet another one of the great songs from Pretty in Pink. Any 80s alt rock fan should love the P.I.P soundtrack
Sure !
Hearing this song for the first time ever at 2:25 AM is a purely magical experience.
This has been my fave sing since I was six!! I love what you just said. New generation loving it. Thank you!!
❤️❤️❤️I need a Duckie
10:26 pm ain’t bad either...
Even if you weren’t a teenager in the 80s, the culture of that decade was still considered a part of your youth. It’s a shame that they don’t make too many coming of age stories anymore.
Man I miss the 80's. At least I got to grow up in such a great time! THe John Hughes movies are iconect. My kids are teens now and they still love them. John captured it perfectly and it will be tough to ever match his greatness.Hard to believe RATT, Twisted Sister, Dokken, Motley Crue, White Lion, Warrant, etc.. Is now classic rock. Has it really been 30 years?
Next year it will be 40 years for this movie. I miss the 80s too.
Can't believe it has been so long . 80's was best being a teenager
Molly Ringwald use to say this was her favorite band.
I think her sister was dating the lead singer.
I feel your pain..however, I feel so lucky to have been a teen in the 80’s. My teen years were amazing, and you’re right--John Hughes captured the moments completely accurate. My teen kids are jealous of our time...but they LOVE all the music and movies from that era.
ps
I also love all those bands you mentioned. Great memories all around
Agreed
Why were these guy's not a massive success?
+Bob Caston I've been wondering the same for decades! Ther's a lot of trashy bands that are famous all over the place, and these guys, even being a great band, never got the success they deserve ! - The most underrated band ever !
I can't believe this song wasn't on the soundtrack.
great song
they Are
it's played on the radio in Salt Lake all the time.
Just watched the movie. Had to look this tune up. Should have been on the soundtrack.
Molly loved this band!!!
Saw pretty in pink in 1986 in Harvard square in Massachusetts with my girlfriend Siobhan. What a magical time♥️😊😊
Brilliant song! Still ahead of their time!!
I have all of their albums. My band "Social Fact" were signed to the same label in 1985 and we rehearsed and recorded in the same studio. the label was Fun Stuff Records. All their CD's are out of print but I have every one of them. They were friends of ours. I wish they would reform. Jimmer Podrasky (the singer/rhythm guitarist) was married to Molly Ringwald's sister, Beth. They have one child and have long since divorced.
Prog Metal Great information!! Thank you.
I've seen this movie a few times and I don't think I ever noticed this song. Luckily I was at San Diego State going to college in the '80s and if you think you had it good as a teenager you have no idea how much fun we had.😅
Everyday, I can hear this. It will never get old.
I was really mad when I got the Pretty in Pink soundtrack and this wasn't on there. Thanks for posting.
ive had this as a ring tone for a while. nobody knows who it is.great song catch their live versions from 2010 greatness!!!!
Caught this film on TV the other day half way through, needed to find out more about this track and band, such a great song and so fitting to the scene in the film. Gutted it took 38yrs for me to come across this film as clearly a classic, such innocent times. Looking forward to watching this again with my kids, so many lessons to be learnt.
I bough the vinyl in the 80's. One of my treasured LPs of my collection.
I got three copies of the vinyl !
AWWWWSSSSSOOOOMMMMMEEEE!
Mike Pop Rock so youre the reason I cant find a copy. jerk.
But the Plimsouls didn't make the album-Did they? This is my favorite song from the movie...❤
Correct, they didn't make the LP.
So cool to atleast see this video...because I always liked this part of the movie,because this song was great...and it was never put on the soundtrack...what a shame!
I always found myself trying to see and hear the band clearer!
Fortunstely I found the vinyl years later!
*One of the guys in the Rave Ups was dating Molly Ringwald's sister at the time of the film!
Same here !!!
1957 Jimmer, we appreciate you making these songs. GREAT tunes and good times. Sadly underrated, yet amazing music.
Gen X forever! What a time to grow up in. ❤
Awesome 80’s song! I remember it at the the dance clubs,
I remember when I was a kid looking up at the screen and wishing to be there! I would rewind this part over and over.
Seems I missed most of the 80's due to personal struggles. Thanks to You Tube, I can revisit and enjoy. Thanks for this post!
October 2020 I had never heard this song until last night and I instantly loved it! I have seen Pretty In Pink numerous times but I've never noticed this song in the movie.
Better late than never. Don't miss the album "Town & Country" by the Rave Ups, there's another song in the film not appearing on the official soundtrack. Enjoy it !
Man. These were the best days!
Total metal head here, and I Love this song :)
From my home town, Pittsburgh, PA. Love it!!!!!!
Pittsburgh native as well 👍
Better to be from here than still here.....looking forward to calvary cemetery...hahaha!

Hi Holly💐💐
In 1987 I drove into Dallas with this song on the radio. It was one of my obscure favorites. 2 mos later I left Dallas and this song was on again. Last I heard it was probably 1990. Since then I couldnt recall the name, tune or the band. Still the memory of blasting out of Dallas listening to this song haunted me from time-to-time. Then today laying in bed about 4:30 AM, some lyrics and tune came to me in my sleep. Got up and searched online. BINGO. I guess it didnt lose me
I was watching Pretty In Pink and knew I knew the sound of this band. I had completely forgotten about The Rave Ups! I'm so glad I found this again!
Such a good LP. Memories of tracks playing on multiple used cars, hot summer nights. Crap job commute. Just a cool band. : )
I love them!!! Been years!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always liked this song...
I have always loved how the girl at 2:15 danced
Yep. Never noticed that but she probably has style... And confidence.
Nice catch!
Me too! That had always caught my eye.
me too ...such a little part but always liked it...
Agree, what’s her @?
Growing up in Toronto in the 80s, CFNY 102.1 played this song
As above - been looking for this forever - tks.
This song is amazing 🥰
Timeless....
Hi Victoria 💐💐
LOVE THIS. Pretty in Pink!!
yeah i saw that on her binder too!
Another great song for a great decade for music
Love this song..! Miss good music and the 80’s
U lost a lot wen u lost me , great 80s
thank you soooo much for posting this!!!! love the rave ups!!! great song!!
LOVE this song.
How did this song didn't get on the soundtrack? Best song in the film.
Yes, FINALLY!!! They are on itunes!! : )
Hi Jill💐💐
Never been an alternative or Punk music kind of person ,but hell I like this song.
I like this song..reminds me of my younger days...I good Movie, 80's was the Bomb!
Wohoooo love the song
Love this song
probably one of my all-time fave riffs
I really miss this sort of music. 80s new wave, punk, and alt rock was so good. People who think 80s music sucks were probably listening to hair metal bands ;) I love hw snappy this song is. Simple, but a lot of simple music IS good. I like Mozart and jazz too. But sometimes you just want a simple hook IMO
I kinda agree, although there was a lot of dull music in the 80s anything later has been not better, but not even as good as these bands and movies..
Michael - I like your brain.
@gsxrbuckeye Those were the DAYS dude ! I'm really sorry for new generations, today teesn have not that kind of music nor that grooving ! I was 17 yo when this song came out, i can still recall those crazy times rocking out the night full of great music and good vibes !
I just watched this movie, 20-some years later and this song was the thing that stood out the most out of the entire movie. I have been trying to figure out who that band was!!! I loved this song back in the 80's...great band.
Can't beat elija
I sure as hell wish I had been a teenager of the 80's. My so called generations music SUCKS ASS. You guys had it right! Fuck the 21st century!
My kind of joint in the awesome 80's
Love this film, a great and love it in the cinema again!
Cool song.
Thank you so much for posting this!!! I loved (still do) this movie back in the day and was sooooo pissed that this song wasnt on the soundtrack!!!! YAY!! :)
It's cool you've tracked down these "lost" songs & even put together some video & put them on here. Great job man, thanks so much!
Hi Natasha💐💐
6 paper back book and a dying tree, love it
I first heard this on KTXQ Q102 Texas Best Rock in DFW, Texas. 1985 or 86.
Love lOVE lOVE THIS SONG since the 80's
channel surfing and caught PiP just as this song came on.. band perfoming in club... WOW!!! great song... still sounds fresh... something along the sound of Kings of Leon.. wow.. can't stop listening to it...
i love this song for some reason....its funky...
Kick Ass song ,for Punk.
"You lost a lot when you lost me
You lost a lot when you lost me
Six paperback books and a dying tree
You lost a lot when you lost me
Six paperback books and a dying tree
A looking glass and a diamond ring, yeah
You lost a lot when you lost me
Six paperback books and a dying tree
A looking glass and a diamond ring
You lost me and you lost some dreams
Oh, you lost your cool, you lost your keys
And then you lost a sense of honesty
Two blankets and a bookshelf piece
Two blankets and a bookshelf piece
A picture frame and a couple keys
Two blankets and a bookshelf piece
A picture frame and a couple keys
Stole a couple of dollars that I won't see
Two blankets and a bookshelf piece
A picture frame and a couple keys
Stole a couple of dollars that I won't see
You lost a lot when you lost me
You lost my face, you lost my laugh
and then you lost my confidence
And after work when there is no moon
And the boys come, come at the studio
Well, you win some smiles and answer phones
And you count 'em answers on eleven toes
Well, this little piggie went home
You lost a lot when you lost me
You lost a lot when you lost me
Six paperback books and a dying tree
You lost a lot when you lost me
Six paperback books and a dying tree
A looking glass and a diamond ring
You lost a lot when you lost me
Six paperback books and a dying tree
A looking glass and a diamond ring
Whoa, you lost a lot when you lost me
You lost my face, you lost my laugh
and then you lost my confidence
She loves me, she loves me not
Show this piggie the way home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It sings like the "12 Days of Christmas"...
many blessings on you for uploading.
Anyone ever notice that in the movie Sixteen Candles (released 2 yrs before Pretty in Pink), the notebook/binder that Molly Ringwald carries has doodling all over it......including "the Rave-Ups"
Everyone, that scene walking down the stairs... it's a recurrent comment all around. Matter of fact Molly was a great RU fan, her sister married to Jim Podrasky, frontman of the band.
The dude in the intro might be the coolest smoker of all time
I LOVE THIS SONG
I love this song and band, they should have been HUGE. Best thing about the movie, I thought.
My favorite. Was elija
this track and elegia are the best ones from the movie
omg yes....Elegia
Its a good number, but what about the title track?
i

Hi Melissa 💐💐
Goodness, gracious. I love this song. Knew the original Rave-Ups when the were practicing in the bassement of our group house in Shady Side, Pittsburgh. Playing Manish Boy... a Muddy Waters, Mel London, and Bo Diddley song.
Wow !! That's great !
Great song. The Rave-ups Town and Country LP has been reissued this summer on Omnivore Recordings
I remember loving this song whenever I watched Pretty in Pink, but I was never sure of the name to get a copy. Unfortunately back then you couldn't grab music from a BBS:)
So here I am years later watching Pretty in Pink for probably the 10th time, went searching and here it is! Amazing classic alternative! Can't wait to see what other gems loparto has for me!
Ringwald the the gang have no idea how cool they are here... and having the rave-ups perform in the background is just totally righteous
Awesome!!!! This brings back memories. Love this movie! Underrated song
You lost alot when u lost me, 6 paperback books and a dying tree.......
lol
love that movie PRETTY IN PINK
You know it
Alot isn't a word.
Dillinger R.
I remember when it was.
#MandelaEffect
This song wasn’t in the soundtrack so I never knew its name until today, 35 years later! It was worth taking space in my head all this time😊
I always had a crush on Iona
Molly recommended the RaveUps for the movie. One of the guys in the band was dating her sister. Molly was friends with the band.
FYI, there's a brand new Rave-Ups album set to be released on February 4.2022 on Omnivore Recordings. Three singles have already been released...in fact, there are UA-cam videos for two of them already up.
Everybody's like 'whatever happened to these guys? they were amazing' and you're like 'hey we have a new album out' and nobody even notices.
