@mattbatben10 No, you're not alone. I loved this song back when it was a hit on radio & MTV (tho not as much as "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," my favorite TFF tune at the time).
However, since my life-changing initiation into the extraordinary world of Donnie Darko, I must admit that my appreciation/enjoyment of the song has been forever enhanced by its association with this powerful scene in this phenomenal movie!
This was the perfect song for the timing and characterization of this film. Reminds us again, that this is supposed to be the 80's. Love this song... Great timing and choice : )

I think Barrymore overdid it a bit with this role, but then again it may be the script for her part I don't like. I dunno, this movie is still awesome.
I LOVE when she tells her to sit next to the boy she thinks is the cutest. ROFLMAO I'd love to be in the room when a female teacher tells that to some girl. AWKWARD.
@schwaabby hi. yes, Curt Smith, lead singer and bassist of TFF is great in playing bass...check out their songs and you'll find out how good he is as a bassist ;-). Try Pale Shelter or Start of a Breakdown for a starter ;-)
Am I the only person who knew this song before I saw this movie?
Oh well. Amazing song, scene and movie.
