methodwriter85 Posted August 26, 2010 Author Posted August 26, 2010 My Sharona was perfect. The Knack...bad boys of the 1980s. Perfect. Not to mention the song had a revival in 1994, which was still somewhat recent to the timeline of the story. It's become sort of a timeless song, I think.

"What Do You Want From Me?" by Monaco http://www.youtube.c...h?v=ucUEEN974Mo Jeremy, you nailed it with these. Material Girl was the quintessential anthem of the mid-80's. It was all about the money. The Shania Twain song....I remember Amy Poehler using that in an SNL skit.

Although it's generally rare to be 16 and at the Olympic Level for men's figure skating, apparently. '06 is more likely.

"This Must Be the Place" by the Talking Heads http://www.youtube.c...h?v=vf2s7UHUrBw I love "This Must Be the Place" by the Talking Heads, although I'm not particularly fond of this version. I always associate it with the movie "Wall Street," a chorus at the height of Charlie Sheen's success.
methodwriter85 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 I picked it because that scene with the apartment in Wall Street seems like such a quintessential Yuppie cultural touchstone, which fits in with JP wanting to attract Yuppies to Claremont with loft houses and the like.
