We seem to be entering this kind of “Don’t Give a Fuck Era” where everyone can be as crazy as they like without fear of consequence. Look at North Korea threatening a nuclear strike against the US and its vastly more powerful arsenal or the Senate Democrats’ long-awaited but shockingly ignorant Suck On It Budget. Even the brand-new Pope is getting in on the careless fun, evading his own security to sneak into a random church.
It’s extremely easy to get in trouble in these situations. For example, Obama attempted an outrageous bluff over the sequester deal that has since unraveled. Even though he did carry out the threatened cuts, he’s the one who ended up looking bad from it. Like Tom Cruise’s character in Risky Business Tom Cruise, the President is learning that you can only get so far with charm, a goofy smile, and reckless crazy before people realize that you’re completely in over your head.
Everyone has to mature at some point. But not today.
No. Today, we will play songs according to the story arc of a lovable fuckup protagonist:
1. Say What the Fuck. Sex, hookers, stealing awesome cars, drugs, breaking your mom’s Faberge egg, etc. Go nuts.
2. Why Is Your Pimp So Mad? The bad decisions are catching up. It’ll turn out okay in the end, maybe.
3. Learning Your Lesson. Yeah, that was pretty irresponsible now that I think about it…
Brat Pack Bonus: Any song from any 1980′s coming-of-age movie soundtrack. Please be sure to name the movie.
First up is both the thread-namer and a Brat Pack Bonus:

Seriously, Thrill. You need to start thinking of some themes to which Nick Cave songs cannot be put! ;)
Bob Marley – Bad Boys (with Spongebob)

Lily Allen – Alfie

Youtube cock-blocked Lily Allen, stogy. I replaced it with this link in the playlist:

Apologies if it’s not the same video.
That was fookin’ awesome.
I used this one on the Cheatin’ Heart thread a few months back, but it works here too:

I love 80s coming of age movies!
OMD- If You Leave from Pretty In Pink
Joe Esposito- You’re the Best Around from The Karate Kid
John Parr- Man In Motion from St. Elmo’s Fire
Good call on Nightman, Thrill. I love that show, because of the despicable characters.

He asked for hookers (*shrugs*) …
Besides I have had Nick Cave on the brain lately because of the concert tonight. I’m in Nashville now in anticipation.
Thanks, MY !!! Great choice. Here is one last one for you:
