I was 18 when this movie came out This song and movie brings me back to the 80s like no other. This song was perfect for this movie. I still crank it up when I hear it. The 80s was so much better. No phones no internet people actually talked to each other. We played outside. The 80s was like an amusement ride it went fast you didn’t think it would ever end you didn’t want it to end but it did and you had to get off and never getting on it again. Today I’m 60 with grey hair and I’m driving a dump truck and my dog doesn’t have long to live. I miss the innocence of the 1980s. Valley Girl to me was a classic
I was born in 1980. These were the songs and movies of my sisters' time, so it was imprinted onto my memories as a child. Then in the late 90s and 00s there was a resurgence in popularity of 80s culture and it became part of my time too. Though 10 years apart in age with my sisters, I found the idea that we went to clubs listening and dancing to the same music quite cool. Like sharing a link to them. They were ambitious and I guess I looked up to them.
A Million Mile Away is perfect on this soundtrack as well. LOVE this movie, great chemistry between Deborah and Nick, great soundtrack. Crush That Fly!
I make Playlists with 80's MTV videos and insert original MTV bumps in between songs. When I watch I can kinda recapture the vibe. I was 18 in 1980. It was an awesome time.
Hey you. We will always be the 80s club. That's what we grew up on. I don't ever give up on there songs. It's ours. Just keep listening to the 80s cuz I still do. My husband is 5 years older than me, he can only handle a little bit of the 80s but he respects my love for the 80s. Love, Courtney
I married my high-school sweet heart. I dated her in 1984 because she reminded me of Julie. I'm 55 and we've been married 34 years and she's still just as beautiful and I wouldn't change a moment. What a ride! Thanks Martha Coolidge for a great movie.
That is so fantastic. I was married to my Soul Mate for 29 years. In all that time we never had a serious fight. She'd ask me what I thought she should do, and go do what she wanted anyway. I'd have to laugh, as I just wanted her happy. She passed on 8/5/2022. If I may, I'd like to say this: Tomorrow is not promised. Do what you want while you can. I always thought there'd be more time after I retired. I had no clue that I'd retire early to become her caretaker. We made so many plans about what we were going to do when she got better, She lost her battle to her 3rd bout of cancer, having been sick for 8 years. I know I'm an old coot, but I just want to pass one what I had learned. Try to live your life by asking yourself "Is this going to bother me in 5 years?" If not, let it go. Make her the happiest bride in the World today. Smiles, An old man.
So did Nic Cage - he admitted there was very little acting involved on his part…he wrote her poetry on set & to this day she still has one of them. They would’ve made the cutest couple…❤️
@alexr4208 , that's because there is nothing worth watching being made nowadays. The 70's and 80's were an amazing time for movies and music. This movie along with Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Last American Virgin, Porkey's, and Up In Smoke were must see films. What a great time we had.
American Society was far superior before the internet and smart phones. There was mystery and adventure and falling in love was way more random before dating apps. And so much more Magical. Loved this movie!
I agree, Mike. The internet is just making us more withdrawn and it's harder to really connect with others and make true friendships. Thank you for your comment.
Amen! I’m thinking about my sister that passed away a year and a half ago. She was 5 1/2 years younger than me born in 1970 and she used to come over to my apartment and hang out with her friends and we would go cruising around Riverside California in my muscle car that had a Mopar engine we blasting this music 😢 we had such a blast. My sister died during heart surgery and I’m missing her tonight so I’ve been on a 80s new wave music binge tonight.
This was the greatest year of all time and the pinnacle of music history. The 4 years leading up to it and the 4 years after 1983 being the peak. There were more songs by more artist all over the world with 1983 being the summit. I was big on the Cars and many other famous groups and singers in this era. I enjoyed the sound track to this movie.
I was a teenager when this came out and driving around on a school permit in my own car that I built up. A 1967 Ford Falcon that I cruised everywhere in and a stereo system that was worth twice what the car was. I built and finished my own car at 14.
Facts People were REAL, we had no choice but to be! We had no Tik Tok , No Facebook, No Instagram no social media whatsoever! we were forced to go outside and talk to each other and interact with one another to conversate to interact ....WE ....WERE... REAL!!!
@@daveb4194 I dint think they do any concerts there par er my as the Galleria was built out there and so everything has built around it where back in the day that was out there by itself.
Graduated from HS in '85. My favorite song from the movie was "Love my way" by The Psychedelic Furs. I got to see them play in person in the mid '90s at a small club called "One Step Beyond" in Santa Clara, CA.
Let me just say that this soundtrack to this day is still one of my favorite soundtracks ever. I was so pumped on this movie that I went out & bought the C. D. Cause you could do that back in the 80s, but not like to. Day, I love the fact that you put songs in the movie clips. This by far is genius. I know it's nothing new but I love it and it just takes me back to them. D*** good days. Lord, if you were born in the '60s and were able to chill in the '70s and '80s.

2024 and i just tossed my original Modern English cassette tape last year. My old cassette player died and i figured I wouldn't be able to get another one. I should have donated it to a museum😂.
This was the first movie I saw Nick Cage in at around 9 or 10. I stayed up after my father was asleep and watched it on Showtime. I remember really liking it and was not surprised at all to see Nick Cage become the superstar he has. I love this song. It's like totally cool.
Hello from Australia, where the only way any of us heard this song was via the movie. Why it wasn't thrashed relentlessly on local FM radio is an enduring mystery. I can't think of another song that more completely exemplifies the 80's.
the early 80's were a magical time, you had to be a teenager to really appreciate it, the music, movies, malls, arcades, record stores,, totally tubular.
You're right. Looking back, I realize that if I hadn't been so wracked with teen angst there was so much fun to be had. I find great beauty to those days in hindsight.
This was one of the most underrated songs of all time, should have been a bigger hit. I thought the movie was not bad but nothing special as I recall but I've never forgot this song.
😂 NOT!! It was quite popular in the 80's and was played on the radio and Mtv regularly. The British new wave band Modern English's song "I Melt with You" reached number seven on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart in April 1983 and number 78 on the Hot 100 chart. The song was the second single from their 1982 album After the Snow and became their most successful single, especially in the United States. It was featured in the 1983 film Valley Girl, where it played during a montage and over the end credits, and received heavy rotation on MTV and in dance clubs. The song has also been featured in television shows such as Stranger Things and The Deuce, and in commercials for Burger King, M&Ms, and Taco Bell.
@@yippyfknskippy7340Then you think this song was overrated? You have a lot of glowing commendations for it and I totally agree. I'm saying it should have been a Top 40, probably even Top 20 song instead of peeking at 78.
The night I met my future wife we danced to this song at Visage 37 years ago. She has been gone for a year and a half. I try not to live in the past but wow, what I’d give to be there with her living that moment again.
watching older videos taught me to avoid trends. And it redirects my notion to adopt any trends, looks or haircuts. (terror-cuts) Even the top dogs fell into trends. Cher, Stevie nicks. I was lucky @12 I found a big fat snacking skateboard, but it had no bad haircut or silly brassieres. I miss that deck. Some big bitch lost her footing, cracked my deck with her ass and the 2 steamed lobster she was stealing. Right in 1/2. They're still looking for a wheel. LMK if my wheels found. Cheers😣 😞
This was the beginning of the true Gen•X, class of 1981. My Bride & I adopted this as our song at age 19. Now both 60 it’s more powerful & important than ever.
last weekend I watched "Last American Virgin" and "Valley Girl" to get my 80's fix. These 2 movies captured that era with the fashions and music, took me right back when I was 17 years old :))

Today is the 41 year anniversary of the film. 😭 I was 13 the first time I saw it. Tonight at the age of 53, I watched it with my 23 year old son. Where does the time go?!?! ❤
Maybe no one else will see it but young Nicholas Cage reminds me of young Robert Mitchum. Both intense and beautiful in a non traditional way. And the way they swagger is epic!
She is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are her life, her love, her leader. She will be yours, faithful and true to the last beat of her heart. You owe it to her to be worthy of such devotion. ❤🐾

yes

Yes!! She melted me!
I’d never heard of her or seen the movie until this clip popped up but wow - as gorgeous now as she was then!
So did Nic Cage - he admitted there was very little acting involved on his part…he wrote her poetry on set & to this day she still has one of them. They would’ve made the cutest couple…❤️
I think for most of us generation x folks this song holds a special place
exacto
Very much so.
1983, if you never seen it you got too! Beautiful time to be alive! 80's
It is quite the romantic film that always pulls my heart strings.
I have a copy of it I bought a couple of years ago. I'll get around to watching it eventually. That's all I want to watch anymore, old stuff.

Today is the 41 year anniversary of the film. 😭 I was 13 the first time I saw it. Tonight at the age of 53, I watched it with my 23 year old son. Where does the time go?!?! ❤
Ya but we’ve had a great run so far.
Nice Cage looks soooo young lol! No movie captured the feeling of the 80's like Valley Girl!
One of my absolute favorite movies. Graduated in 1986. Wish I could go back for just awhile
ABSOLUTELY
Just a while
❤
Mine too! '87 here
A totally young Nicholas Cage....brilliant film of 1983, my freshman year in college....
great times back then, worry free for a minute
At the time Hollywood had no idea what Nicolas Cage was capable of. It was just the beginning of decades of great movie making. Class of 88'
Maybe no one else will see it but young Nicholas Cage reminds me of young Robert Mitchum. Both intense and beautiful in a non traditional way. And the way they swagger is epic!
Still one of the best songs ever written.
Nothing better than 80s movies
This is the first time I have learned about this movie. I have known this song and loved it since the 1980s. I Will check out the movie.
Let us know what you think of it.
I'm 75 and still love this song
I miss the time when we were good to each other❤
We were all so young young back then......
Just the coolest song
I'm 60 and I think this is one of my favorite songs!!!!!!

The 80's were truly magical and I think we knew it.
Deborah Foreman was out of control!!
I am so dam happy to be Alive and lissening to the music!!!!!!

I love this movie too! I think they came out with two soundtracks for this movie at some point. A lot of great 80s songs!
She is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are her life, her love, her leader. She will be yours, faithful and true to the last beat of her heart. You owe it to her to be worthy of such devotion. ❤🐾
My wife exactly

I was 17 years old and living the 80's dream!
