When I say ’80s movies, you probably think The Breakfast Club.
The film is a staple of pop culture, defining the coming of age genre, as well as a decade of ’80s movies. It’s maintained its relevance through 40 years of existence, through its iconic characters, moments, and one incredibly famous song.
Irish band Simple Minds released “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” in 1985 to accompany the film it appears in, where it reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has been an incredible smash hit, giving the band enough success for a lifetime. Recently, on their TikTok, Simple Minds celebrated some exciting news.
Forty years of the song, and it is still just as catchy as ever. Fans took to the comments to share their support and memories with this great song.
“Timeless classic. 🔥”
“Love this song, so glad I got to see you guys play live right here on the Gold Coast last year. 👏👏”
“I was 18, please, bring me beck. Still in love Jim Kerr.”
Time hasn’t weathered the legacy of this classic track, just like the film its attached to. We certainly won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
