The Sure Thing soundtrack (1985)

This 1985 teen rom com/road movie never received an official soundtrack release, but it contains some good tunes from my favorite decade, so it is worthy of a soundtrack breakdown. In addition to the pop/rock tunes below, we're also treated to incidental music from saxophonist Tom Scott (whose 1981 album Apple Juice is one of my favorites although the soundtrack music bears no resemblance to music from that album).  The following list is based on my 2006 DVD version.  In the order the music appears in the film:

1. Opening credits: "Infatuation" by Rod Stewart, found on Camouflage (1984)
