I was wondering if anyone knew what songs were playing when they introduce the male lead’s sister and the “popular girl” (his soon to be ex). They were one right after the other and neither played for very long. Are they on the soundtrack? ---

A lot of the songs were covers of songs featured on the Pretty in Pink soundtrack… some of the highlights from that album (yes, I do own it, on tape, so there) If You Leave - OMD Left of Center - Suzanne Vega Please Please Please Let me Get What I want - The Smiths Do Wot You Do - INXS Pretty in Pink - Psychedelic Furs ---

The one played when his sister walks up for the first time is a remake of “Tainted Love.” I don’t remember which one was played for the cheerleader.
