80s Music Video Flashback

Simple Minds - "Don't You (Forget About Me)"

Simple Minds are a rock band from Scotland, who had their greatest worldwide popularity from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. The band, from the south side of Glasgow, produced a handful of critically acclaimed albums in the early 1980s.

Simple Minds have secured a string of successful hit singles, the best known being their number 1 worldwide hit single "Don't You (Forget About Me)", from the soundtrack of the John Hughes move The Breakfast Club. The lyrics recall the theme of the movie - people who were strangers before an encounter, revealing their inner selves to each other and becoming intimate. The music video, directed by Daniel Kleinman takes place on a dancing floor in a dark room with a chandelier, a rocking horse and Sony televisions, whose screens are displaying scenes from The Breakfast Club. Jim Kerr, the band's lead singer, dances in many scenes.
