Easy Like Sunday Morning Track - Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, today's Easy Like Sunday Morning Track is Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds. This was released on The Breakfast Club soundtrack in 1985. It was featured in the opening and closing credit of the film. Since then it has been used in numerous films and TV shows including American Pie, Futurama, Family Guy, Pitch Perfect, and Bob's Burgers.

The band initially turn down the song but reluctantly accepted after encouragement from their label. They didn't like the idea of recording music they didn't record. The band did rearrange it before recording it so they deserve some credit for that. Prior to the song being offered Simple Minds, the song was turned down by The Fixx, Bryan Ferry, and Billy Idol.
