This is one of the most iconic movie songs ever . It’s immediately identifiable as the breakfast club

[mpierce]

He is Scottish and the Breakfast Club is an Iconic movie from the 80's a must watch

[SharilynBratton]

If you weren’t there back in the day you have no idea just what iconic nostalgia this song holds for a whole generation as soon as it starts. The guy from the wrong side of the tracks, the rich spoiled girl, the school cliques keeping them in their lanes but that one day in detention, just that one moment in time of a genuine connection …that’s a lot of what this song is about.

Simple Minds "ALIVE AND KICKING". 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[aragornring]

Watching The Breakfast Club will enrich your life. Its a timeless classic.

[robertboyd]

The song isn’t really about playing yourself. It’s more about people who don’t really belong together sharing a moment in time and going their separate ways.

Jim Kerr, lead singer of Simple Minds, is Scots, and English is his first language. He was married for several years to Chrissie Hynde, lead singer of the Pretenders. This song was the title track for the movie The Breakfast Club.

So many good Simple Minds songs. Alive and Kicking is an absolute must!

[greenwidow]

The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, all those movies and music from that era, so iconic. 💛🎶

[Aryaba]

Iconic song from the mid-80s played in a classic movie Breakfast Club.

[tropenkindje]

This song is definitely THE SONG of the eightees. Saw them last april in concert. It was fantastic ❤. Next one Belfast child, Alive and kicking, Waterfront

[georgeduncan]

Grew up in the 80's, metalhead. However, really appreciated this style of music. To this day, I crank it when this comes on the radio. I would argue this might be the most iconic song that represents those 80's of all time.

'It sounds like English is his second language'. As a half Scot/half English, that absolutely cracked me up 🤣

[melanieze]

Legendary British band another song by them Alive & Kicking 👌

[allenruss]

Soundtrack to one of my favorite movies

[courtnayzeitler]

Scottish. Every Gen Xer knows this song by heart and LOVES IT. Gotta watch the movie. My 21 year old very hip 😅 son watched it with me and was, for once, speechless.

[adiarainfoster]

The song will make MUCH more sense to you if you watch The Breakfast Club. All these kids from different walks of life in detention as you said. They were never friends and won't be friends afterward, but they know everything about each other now thanks to events in that detention. People meet, minds touch, and then go their separate ways in a matter of hours all the time. That's the essence of this song.

[PowAngel]

This was known as "New Wave" music, before it progressed into "Post Modern" music.
The lead singer is James Kerr, born in Glasgow, Scotland (1959).

Another song Simple Minds did, that I always enjoyed is ""Alive and Kicking", I love the short soft single piano note riff.
The song just suddenly mellows into the twice played riff, and then kicks back in.
Beautifully done.

I do miss the 1980's music, probably because it had a lot of the 1960's music elements.

[billboyd]

Instead of thinking of it as a break-up song, try this, BP - think about the day you graduated high school and said goodbye to your close circle of friends as you parted ways and went out into the world.... "don't you guys forget about me.... where ever you go, whatever you do, don't you forget about me!" If you go that route it takes a more sentimental feel...

[Cchan]

This period of great British bands had some great, great music...
