I doubt it... and as for the film being Elfman's first major film score, I have to call bullshit because<br /><br />1. Cameron Crowe and Amy Heckerling have never been the most score-friendly of filmmakers. Especially Cameron Crowe.<br /><br />2. High school movies aren't generally known for their underscores (as you know, if you hunt up the soundtrack albums for films set there they'll be heavy on songs and light on score - although there are exceptions, like <b>Three O'Clock High</b> and <b>Heathers</b>).<br /><br />3. You would think Janet K. Halfyard's excellent <i>Danny Elfman's <b>Batman</b>: A Film Score Guide</i> would have mentioned this film somewhere had he scored it (which would have made it his only film score between <b>Forbidden Zone</b> and <b>Pee-wee's Big Adventure</b>).Cindylover1969https://www.blogger.com/profile/13066290912212354782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-74879356913070512752010-03-30T16:22:42.207-05:002010-03-30T16:22:42.207-05:00I'd say based on what you've commented on ...I'd say based on what you've commented on here, and the topics you cover at your site, we are of the same generation, fer shure.

I never heard of this show either, but in 1986 I was in Germany in the Army, so I missed a lot of TV shows, not that I missed anything.<br /><br />Always liked Oingo Boingo.<br /><br />Remember Vincent Schiavelli from Better Off Dead.Retro Houndhttp://www.retrohound.com/noreply@blogger.com
