Dept. of Embarrassing Admissions

Posted on August 7, 2009 by chet

I had not, until a YouTube review of Hughes’ work last night, realized that the song playing while Cameron stares at Seurat’s “A Sunday in the Park…” in Ferris Bueller was an instrumental cover of the Smith’s *Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want. By “Life In A Northern Town” one-hit wonder Dream Academy.

Wacky.

Now that I think of it, I think I chose to drive a red 944 because that’s what Jake Ryan drove.

On the soundtrack for She’s Having a Baby, Kirsty MacColl (who sang with the Pogues on Fairytale of New York) did a cover of the Smiths “You just haven’t earned it yet, baby”, which I have always loved.

Jake Ryan.
