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

Release date: 1985

Despite the band's then-popularity in the UK and Europe, back in 1985 Simple Minds remained essentially unknown in the United States.

The song's "la-la-la" coda is a case of a placeholder becoming the actual lyric, as neither Keith Forsey nor Jim Kerr could think of actual words that made sense.

Album: The Breakfast Club
