Being a fan since Controversy, I was so ecstatic when I heard Sexuality played during one of the film's scenes. That made me wonder if Summer Lovers was the first movie to actually use Prince's music? Anyone know either way?

Wiki says Sexy Dancer is also in there. Having been released in July 82, before 1999 was out, it may indeed be the first film

Good movie

Anything with Daryl Hannah naked can't be that bad

A little later in 83 came Risky Business which contains DMSR. Side note - Back in the day when 1999 was released on CD DMSR was omitted. So if you wanted DMSR on CD you had to get the import (No US release) of the soundtrack. And in hindsight, it's actually a really good soundtrack.

Totally, it was filmed in late 1981 and early 1982, released in August 1982. Sexuality was played on the boat scene with the orgy. They must have got an advance copy as it looks summery and the album was not released until October (Unless of course the scene was shot in May 1982).

.

That movie is alright, but so dated, even by 1982 standards, everyone still has 1970s style Leo Sayer perms and they still have discos which went right out of fashion in 1980 (Except maybe in Greece), plus the red and white striped shirts and flares. It is a bit 1970s sexual for the AIDs just say no 1980s. The movie feels more 1978/79 than 1982. Some of the other songs they play are hilarious like something called "Le Jet set" some bizarre eurodisco track. Best song is the 1982 Chicago smash So hard to say I'm sorry.

Saw the movie a few years ago on some budget ass movie channel we used to get.

I think Head featured in the German 1981 classic "Blow your Alphorn Between My Rocky Mountains"

That shit has to be porno

Not sure if it counts (or which came first), but Vanity 6's "He's So Dull" was in National Lampoon's Vacation...that was released in 82/83 IIRC.

Yesterday, Computer Blue, was featured in Homes Under the Hammer.

Very odd indeed!

We watch that show occasionally. For those not in the know, its a British property show, where people buy very run down or average looking homes and do them up to sell on for profit. Each show has 3 before and after stories and follows the people as they do up the old hosue, relaying on before and after shots, then a pair of estate agents value the renovated home for rental per month and outright sale.

.

Anyway they play 40 second sound bites of songs that are usually related to adjectives about each property or what needs to be done to them. The properties are ranging from average homes to early 1800s terraces which are like 8 feet wide and open on to the road that are pretty much falling down. Still when you can get one for like £20,000, who is complaining. The music is usually pretty cool too and they play a lot of soul and funk songs along with cheesier pop and rock.
