We continue our deep dive into the music behind John Hughe's iconic 80s comedies with the next stop in the journey through Michael Anthony's Hall's puberty: Weird Science. Everybody remembers the title track to this shenanigans-a-plenty 1985 comedy (it is Oingo Boingo after all). But what about the other tracks featured in the film? We listen to a couple of tracks off the film in this week's installment of Hughe's Tunes.

Tracklist:

Oingo Boingo - Weird Science
Ira Newborn - Lost On The Internet
Killing Joke - Eighties
Killing Joke - Europe
The Del Fuegos - Nervous And Shakey
The Del Fuegos - Out For A Ride
Toro Y Moi - Ordinary Guy (feat. The Mattson 2)
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Radio Waves
