(anyone who thinks otherwise can go jump in Lake Minnetonka)
OK, so this post sprung from a 1982 movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
HBO’s been showing movies from the 80’s on “Throwback Thursdays” and this one was last week’s feature.
TRIVIA TIME
Nancy Wilson
(who, at the time, was Director Cameron Crowe’s girlfriend)
had a cameo.
Lots of good songs, but two of them jumped out and I thought they’d make for a good Blast!
The Go-Go’s
We Got the Beat (1982)
from their debut album Beauty and the Beat (1981)
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
American Girl (1977)
from the album Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (1976)
American Girl (1977)
from the album Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (1976)
My personal favorite! The song was also featured on a 2003 episode of Scrubs: My Own American Girl – the title of which took its name from the song. (BAD ASS!!!!))
