about Don't You Forget About Me: Without a doubt the most famous Simple Minds song.
It was performed for the soundtrack of a movie "The Breakfast Club".

Interesting fact is that the song was first offered to Billy Idol who declined it. We can only guess how sorry he was once it became highly successful.

The song "Don't You Forget About Me" itself serves as general trademark of the 80's music, relying heavily on keyboards and specific "80's sound".

Scenes in the video are related to the movie "The Breakfast Club". This is one of those deviations where popularity of a soundtrack song heavily suppress the movie for which it was written.

Jim Kerr and Simple Minds still play it regularly on their tours, always having a great response from the audience.
