80's Lost Classic From...Gleaming Spires "Are You Ready For The Sex Girls"

Retro Music Snob Report:

Click here to check the 80's lost classic from Gleaming Spires "Are You Ready For The Sex Girls"...catchy as hell from the former rhythm section of Sparks. Which 80's soundtrack was this in???? I do believe it was "The Last American Virgin"...the teen comedy with arguably the most depressing ending. Usally all (and I mean all) 80's teen comedies end on a happy note...not this one. I remember leaving the theater looking at my date going..."What the..."

Buy "The Last American Virgin"...some good stuff from The Waitresses, The Cars, Phil Seymour, Oingo Boing, U2...
