In our final episode on the music of John Hughe's iconic 80's films, we end with Pretty In Pink. Music is the backbone of this film in so many ways: the main character works at a record store, a bar with live music is a popular hangout spot for her and her friends, and of course who can forget Jon Cryer's lip-sync to Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness"? And just like the films before it, Hughes' passion for music (especially new wave and post-punk) is behind every track featured on this iconic soundtrack. We listen to a few tracks from the film with an accompanying track from each artist.Tracklist:Talk Back - RudyPsychedelic Furs - Pretty In PinkPsychedelic Furs - Mr. JonesJesse Johnson - Get To Know YaJesse Johnson - Just Too MuchNew Order - Thieves Like UsNew Order - Lonesome TonightTeebs - Studie (feat.
