I was 18 when this movie came out This song and movie brings me back to the 80s like no other. This song was perfect for this movie. I still crank it up when I hear it. The 80s was so much better. No phones no internet people actually talked to each other. We played outside. The 80s was like an amusement ride it went fast you didn’t think it would ever end you didn’t want it to end but it did and you had to get off and never getting on it again. Today I’m 60 with grey hair and I’m driving a dump truck and my dog doesn’t have long to live. I miss the innocence of the 1980s. Valley Girl to me was a classic
I was born in 1980. These were the songs and movies of my sisters' time, so it was imprinted onto my memories as a child. Then in the late 90s and 00s there was a resurgence in popularity of 80s culture and it became part of my time too. Though 10 years apart in age with my sisters, I found the idea that we went to clubs listening and dancing to the same music quite cool. Like sharing a link to them. They were ambitious and I guess I looked up to them.
A Million Mile Away is perfect on this soundtrack as well. LOVE this movie, great chemistry between Deborah and Nick, great soundtrack. Crush That Fly!
I make Playlists with 80's MTV videos and insert original MTV bumps in between songs. When I watch I can kinda recapture the vibe. I was 18 in 1980. It was an awesome time.
Hey you. We will always be the 80s club. That's what we grew up on. I don't ever give up on there songs. It's ours. Just keep listening to the 80s cuz I still do. My husband is 5 years older than me, he can only handle a little bit of the 80s but he respects my love for the 80s. Love, Courtney
I married my high-school sweet heart. I dated her in 1984 because she reminded me of Julie. I'm 55 and we've been married 34 years and she's still just as beautiful and I wouldn't change a moment. What a ride! Thanks Martha Coolidge for a great movie.
That is so fantastic. I was married to my Soul Mate for 29 years. In all that time we never had a serious fight. She'd ask me what I thought she should do, and go do what she wanted anyway. I'd have to laugh, as I just wanted her happy. She passed on 8/5/2022. If I may, I'd like to say this: Tomorrow is not promised. Do what you want while you can. I always thought there'd be more time after I retired. I had no clue that I'd retire early to become her caretaker. We made so many plans about what we were going to do when she got better, She lost her battle to her 3rd bout of cancer, having been sick for 8 years. I know I'm an old coot, but I just want to pass one what I had learned. Try to live your life by asking yourself "Is this going to bother me in 5 years?" If not, let it go. Make her the happiest bride in the World today. Smiles, An old man.
@alexr4208 , that's because there is nothing worth watching being made nowadays. The 70's and 80's were an amazing time for movies and music. This movie along with Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Last American Virgin, Porkey's, and Up In Smoke were must see films. What a great time we had.
So did Nic Cage - he admitted there was very little acting involved on his part…he wrote her poetry on set & to this day she still has one of them. They would’ve made the cutest couple…❤️
Amen! I’m thinking about my sister that passed away a year and a half ago. She was 5 1/2 years younger than me born in 1970 and she used to come over to my apartment and hang out with her friends and we would go cruising around Riverside California in my muscle car that had a Mopar engine we blasting this music 😢 we had such a blast. My sister died during heart surgery and I’m missing her tonight so I’ve been on a 80s new wave music binge tonight.
This was the greatest year of all time and the pinnacle of music history. The 4 years leading up to it and the 4 years after 1983 being the peak. There were more songs by more artist all over the world with 1983 being the summit. I was big on the Cars and many other famous groups and singers in this era. I enjoyed the sound track to this movie.
I was a teenager when this came out and driving around on a school permit in my own car that I built up. A 1967 Ford Falcon that I cruised everywhere in and a stereo system that was worth twice what the car was. I built and finished my own car at 14.
American Society was far superior before the internet and smart phones. There was mystery and adventure and falling in love was way more random before dating apps. And so much more Magical. Loved this movie!
I agree, Mike. The internet is just making us more withdrawn and it's harder to really connect with others and make true friendships. Thank you for your comment.
@@daveb4194 I dint think they do any concerts there par er my as the Galleria was built out there and so everything has built around it where back in the day that was out there by itself.
Graduated from HS in '85. My favorite song from the movie was "Love my way" by The Psychedelic Furs. I got to see them play in person in the mid '90s at a small club called "One Step Beyond" in Santa Clara, CA.
Let me just say that this soundtrack to this day is still one of my favorite soundtracks ever. I was so pumped on this movie that I went out & bought the C. D. Cause you could do that back in the 80s, but not like to. Day, I love the fact that you put songs in the movie clips. This by far is genius. I know it's nothing new but I love it and it just takes me back to them. D*** good days. Lord, if you were born in the '60s and were able to chill in the '70s and '80s. You are gonna be so happy when you lay it down for the last time, u Will.realize you were living your best life in the 70s. 80s and 90s, God loves you. And so do I😎🫡🫡🫡
Among my favorite soundtracks of all time and I’m pretty sure the CD is around here somewhere. I certainly had an iTunes playlist before Apple boogered that up so much.
@@MikeSwearingen-v6i Thank you so much.I appreciate the love.I sincerely mean what I say when I say God, I've lived a good life and didn't even know I wasn't a time back then.Huh?Thank you god bless you
the early 80's were a magical time, you had to be a teenager to really appreciate it, the music, movies, malls, arcades, record stores,, totally tubular.
You're right. Looking back, I realize that if I hadn't been so wracked with teen angst there was so much fun to be had. I find great beauty to those days in hindsight.
Hello from Australia, where the only way any of us heard this song was via the movie. Why it wasn't thrashed relentlessly on local FM radio is an enduring mystery. I can't think of another song that more completely exemplifies the 80's.
2024 and i just tossed my original Modern English cassette tape last year. My old cassette player died and i figured I wouldn't be able to get another one. I should have donated it to a museum😂.
This was the beginning of the true Gen•X, class of 1981. My Bride & I adopted this as our song at age 19. Now both 60 it’s more powerful & important than ever.
I MISS THESE DAYS MORE THAN EVER!!!!!!!!! 💝💝💝💝 when we all acted like true Americans, no matter who won because neither side ever acted like 47!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭💕
Go take a nap and slide into oblivion you communist, Marxist, moron. While you were thinking about Mary Jane Rotten Crotch and beating your pathetic pecker, I was out killing bad guys overseas. Where were you. What have you done for our country. Don’t bad mouth your country you pathetic communist unless you have fought for it. If you have ever served in combat, then you can have the unmitigated right to complain.
This was the first movie I saw Nick Cage in at around 9 or 10. I stayed up after my father was asleep and watched it on Showtime. I remember really liking it and was not surprised at all to see Nick Cage become the superstar he has. I love this song. It's like totally cool.
last weekend I watched "Last American Virgin" and "Valley Girl" to get my 80's fix. These 2 movies captured that era with the fashions and music, took me right back when I was 17 years old :))
Today is the 41 year anniversary of the film. 😭 I was 13 the first time I saw it. Tonight at the age of 53, I watched it with my 23 year old son. Where does the time go?!?! ❤
The night I met my future wife we danced to this song at Visage 37 years ago. She has been gone for a year and a half. I try not to live in the past but wow, what I’d give to be there with her living that moment again.
Maybe no one else will see it but young Nicholas Cage reminds me of young Robert Mitchum. Both intense and beautiful in a non traditional way. And the way they swagger is epic!
An era in music when bands together made the music and songs for the big time. Now it's seems like it's just individual singer/songwriter artists, no groups of musicians.
This was one of the most underrated songs of all time, should have been a bigger hit. I thought the movie was not bad but nothing special as I recall but I've never forgot this song.
😂 NOT!! It was quite popular in the 80's and was played on the radio and Mtv regularly. The British new wave band Modern English's song "I Melt with You" reached number seven on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart in April 1983 and number 78 on the Hot 100 chart. The song was the second single from their 1982 album After the Snow and became their most successful single, especially in the United States. It was featured in the 1983 film Valley Girl, where it played during a montage and over the end credits, and received heavy rotation on MTV and in dance clubs. The song has also been featured in television shows such as Stranger Things and The Deuce, and in commercials for Burger King, M&Ms, and Taco Bell.
@@yippyfknskippy7340Then you think this song was overrated? You have a lot of glowing commendations for it and I totally agree. I'm saying it should have been a Top 40, probably even Top 20 song instead of peeking at 78.
I lived the 70s, the 80s and 90s were the best time of my life, I was in high school when I heard this song back in the 90s, brought me joy, and had a crush on a girl with short blond hair, blue eyes and a crazy crazy attitude. It took me a whole year to get to know her, she was rough but awesome, and when I was about to confess my love, she disappeared, and never saw her again. This song and that girl from the valley brings me back those memories… it was awesome to live the 80s and 90s.
Did she always have a crazy attitude or did she only act that way when you were around? It's possible she acted that way because of her feelings for you.
Modern English... Saw them with Thomas Dolby in 83. GREAT music! The bar band from the movie is The Plimsouls... another awesome band of the 80s... Million Miles Away. Music that still gets regular airplay in these 60 year old ears.
I was 15 when this movie came out and I watched it repeatedly. I was so perturbed because I couldn't ever find the soundtrack, but one day in Germany I was talking to a GI who was saying how much he loved this movie and I told him that I loved it too, and he asked me out and I went.
Was 14 when this came out. All time fave movie! So thankful I grew up in the 80’s, now my 4 grown children all listen to 80’s music! Have to pass traditions on🩷
I went to High School in Maryland & graduated in 1986. I was actually supposed to graduate in 1985 but, well, life happens 😂. One of the many things I loved about the eighties was how beautiful & feminine many of the girls were. Not only were they beautiful but most of the girls at our school were also very classy and carried themselves with respect. When I look back at my yearbook I smile when I see how nice everyone was dressed. Say what you will but in my opinion people today are often so slovenly and will go to school wearing sweatpants and clothes that are dirty looking. I'm not being judgemental but I am calling it the way I see it. Those of you who grew up in the 70's & 80's like me know what I'm talking about. Peace & Blessings.
When I pick my son up from high school almost all the girls are wearing yoga pants, I wonder how those poor boys can focus on their studies. It's awful.
Great song, and one of my favorite movies. At the time, nobody had heard of Nick Cage. His best role! If you like the song, watch the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".
I was 18 when this movie came out This song and movie brings me back to the 80s like no other. This song was perfect for this movie. I still crank it up when I hear it. The 80s was so much better.

It is quite the romantic film that always pulls my heart strings.

Deborah Foreman was so cute in this movie. Had a huge crush...

So did Nic Cage - he admitted there was very little acting involved on his part…he wrote her poetry on set & to this day she still has one of them. They would’ve made the cutest couple…❤️
I think for most of us generation x folks this song holds a special place
If Nick Cage had made no other movie than this one, it would have been enough. This movie was 80s MAGIC.
Nah, he had to make Lord of War and Moonstruck. Those three would have been enough.

@@yippyfknskippy7340Then you think this song was overrated? You have a lot of glowing commendations for it and I totally agree. I'm saying it should have been a Top 40, probably even Top 20 song instead of peeking at 78.
Just the coolest song
I was 18 also. The 80s was a time of great music and dancing. The fashion will never be matched
I miss the 80's..I was in my 20's back than. Great time growing up.
Just going to say, one the best movies ever. Nothing beats the 80's for movies and music, nothing.
Deborah Foreman is definitely hot in this movie
I was 20 years old in LA as part of the LA party scene when this movie 🎥 came out, 83 & 84 were some of the best years of my life so far 😇😇😇😇
The 80's were truly magical and I think we knew it.
Best movie soundtrack EVAH!
About to say the same!
52 and still absolutely love this movie. HIS EYES. The way he looks at Julie is everything
What a perfect 80s song and 80s movie.
I lived the 70s, the 80s and 90s were the best time of my life, I was in high school when I heard this song back in the 90s, brought me joy, and had a crush on a girl with short blond hair, blue eyes and a crazy crazy attitude. It took me a whole year to get to know her, she was rough but awesome, and when I was about to confess my love, she disappeared, and never saw her again. This song and that girl from the valley brings me back those memories… it was awesome to live the 80s and 90s.
Did she always have a crazy attitude or did she only act that way when you were around? It's possible she acted that way because of her feelings for you.
80's guy here. Missed this one. But like it still. Wish we knew then that this was the time of times
I send this to my wife almost every year if not more have for 20 years
Modern English... Saw them with Thomas Dolby in 83. GREAT music! The bar band from the movie is The Plimsouls... another awesome band of the 80s... Million Miles Away. Music that still gets regular airplay in these 60 year old ears.
Great song Modern English
I was 15 when this movie came out and I watched it repeatedly. I was so perturbed because I couldn't ever find the soundtrack, but one day in Germany I was talking to a GI who was saying how much he loved this movie and I told him that I loved it too, and he asked me out and I went.
I was 17 years old and living the 80's dream!
Was 14 when this came out. All time fave movie! So thankful I grew up in the 80’s, now my 4 grown children all listen to 80’s music! Have to pass traditions on🩷
I'm 75 and still love this song
❤ valley girl fun movie great song
I love this movie too! I think they came out with two soundtracks for this movie at some point. A lot of great 80s songs!
Remember this movie when it came out. Nicholas Cage sure has come a long way from those days. Great memories
Wonderful time’s never be forgotten if you were 18
Love love love Nick Cage
I was a teenager in the 80's , so thankful for being young then. This movie rocks 🎸
Deborah Foreman just beautiful
She was peak 80's chick.
I went to High School in Maryland & graduated in 1986. I was actually supposed to graduate in 1985 but, well, life happens 😂. One of the many things I loved about the eighties was how beautiful & feminine many of the girls were. Not only were they beautiful but most of the girls at our school were also very classy and carried themselves with respect. When I look back at my yearbook I smile when I see how nice everyone was dressed. Say what you will but in my opinion people today are often so slovenly and will go to school wearing sweatpants and clothes that are dirty looking. I'm not being judgemental but I am calling it the way I see it. Those of you who grew up in the 70's & 80's like me know what I'm talking about. Peace & Blessings.
When I pick my son up from high school almost all the girls are wearing yoga pants, I wonder how those poor boys can focus on their studies. It's awful.
100%
Haha! Love the 80’s!! When the girls who said no were actually all saying yes and stalking was really just boys being boys. Yay!!
@@stephaniecody8031 Project much?
I know a guy that lives in Frederick Maryland😊
I love Modern English awesome band...😊😊❤❤
Great movie and soundtrack
_sigh_ …ahh, the magical 1980’s. Those were the days.
I made my grandchildren watch it. 😅
This was one of my wedding songs. Marriage only lasted 7 months, but I still love this song
I never get tired of watching Valley girl its so its just a cute movie from days gone by the 80s
This was my husband’s and my wedding song and we vowed to dance to it whenever we are together and it it comes on. That was 34 years ago.
I feel sooooo old! I was in college when this came out. This brings me back to the 80's.
Great song, and one of my favorite movies. At the time, nobody had heard of Nick Cage. His best role! If you like the song, watch the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".
He was in Fast Times also. Very small role.
