Silicon Teens
"red river rock"
this is a classic instrumental country song(red river valley) that was re-made in the 50s as kind of a garage-rock instrumental and this is an 80s version in that style of the remake (sounds complicated, sorry). this one has a really cool 80s synth mandolin sound.
E.T.A. Featuring Steve Martin & John Candy
"i can take anything(love theme from planes, trains and automobiles)"
1987
great 80s uptempo "blood pumping" mostly instrumental track, with samples of dialog from the movie and essential 80s sax. "i can take anything...because ive been with del griffith"
Ray Charles
"the mess around"
1953
great song from the 50s by ray charles, i included the scene(no spoilers) they used it (in its entirity) with another classic performance from john candy.
Patsy Cline
"back in baby's arms"
1963
classic country number, from probably the undeniable funniest scene in the film...."between two pillows"
Book Of Love Modigliani (Lost In Your Eyes)
wow, i instantly recognized the music from one of the very emotional scenes in the film, but never realized it was a synth pop song.
