someone recently mentioned spotting a jesse johnson revue poster in the movie "pretty in pink", and i started to think about connections between prince and john hughes films. you know, there is the film "delirious" with john candy, which used prince's song quite a bit. any others you know of?
i know that jesse is on the ST to pretty in pink and he is also on the ST to breakfast club.
but there is another prince reference in breakfast club.
does anyone know what i'm thinking of?

The character played by Ally Sheedy - not sure of her name- looks at 1999 cover album, if my memory is good...

yeah, that's what i'm thinking of. she was looking at the album while she was sucking on pixie stix. i think she even dumped them out on the record sleeve!

the song private joy is also in Weird science..it's not the album version, it's either instrumental, or a cover, i can't remember

During the bus scene in 16 Candles the band geeks are playing 1999.

I think it's Latoya Jackson singing it.

la toya did cover private joy, however the version on weird science is by cheyenne. another cover.
