“Unfortunately, Hughes’ didnt feel that the music would fit together well when removed from the film and compiled into an album. The songs work really well alongside the highs and lows of the film, but there isnt much of a common thread running between the songs other than the film’s plot. So unlike Hughes’ other successful films, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off never received an official soundtrack release.”
Go get all the songs in mp3 format here.
HBO’s programming manager has decided this week to be ‘Ferris Bueller’ week. Which came first, Bueller’s rendition of ‘Twist and Shout’ or karaoke?
Lots of good Dream Academy tracks in there.
The above mp3 link for the Ferris CD is dead. Do you have the files that you could kindly pass on to me?
Many thanks,
Dara
