Miss Amanda Jones

How many of you saw a movie from the 80's called "Some Kind of Wonderful"

I've seen it, and many times.

How many of you were totally crushing on Lea Thompson as Amanda Jones in that movie?

I know I was!

So, the song stuck in my head comes from this movie, but I was surprised when I found out today that the song is actually by the Rolling Stones from their 1967 album BETWEEN THE BUTTONS.  Apparently the name of this character was inspired by the song.

I DID NOT KNOW THIS!!!

Here's the song, first the version by The Stones:

And then the one I was familiar with before researching the song (and consequently the song stuck in my head this morning)

It's by The March Violets (I haven't heard of them either)

Have a good week y'all.
