I couldn't agree more!! I came here just to look for this song! It reminds me of that last bit of summer weather while riding your bike back to school! Nostalgic moments
this film is my Coming to America Don't get me wrong that film is fine and i knew how special it was, but if you ask me which film i think had much better humor, writing, and characters it was Back to School
Crazy how many people came here because of the American Dad episode ! Look below at all of the comments ! Thank you Seth McFarlane ! So glad he's an 80's geek !
40mIKe04 As soon as I heard "back to school" I knew exactly what it was. Just searched "back to school song" and it was the first one. Damn I miss the 80's. :-(
section8usmc53 it was a new song to me. i searched a section of the lyrics which didn't work so i started researching the episode until i found it lol.
I got to meet Billy Zabka this year at a convention. Got a picture of Chas signed with the quote “SCREW YOU, MELON!!” I love it so much. And he was so cool.
80s kid myself..... time was so great to live ....... Rodney Dangerfield..... was a great comedian.....love the movie....(back to school)..... Thornton melon best line in the movie.........if you want to look thin...you hang out with fat people........I think I will watch that movie today......
@@omarmartinez3950 it’s not the same. We live in the digital era now. Back in the 80’s/90’s you had to go to blockbuster if you wanted a film. You couldn’t just put netflix on. The 80’s just felt different. World is colder now.
Just 4 years later, JC released his first pop hit in '90 with "Baby Its Tonight", followed by "Time 4 Letting Go". Then in '92 he had "Start The Car" & "Worlds Apart"
The mid 90's is when music died. The overabundance of manufactured boy and girl groups destroyed pop music by saturating the market with soulless, same-sounding drivel marketed towards the lowest common denominator. Pop stars ceased to be artists and became nothing more than shiny faces to put on the CD covers with no creative input whatsoever. If the biggest pop stars of the late 90s had never been born we'd still have their exact same songs just sung by different people.
Nothing beats 80's comedies, they were silly but alot of fun. Going to the movies was a blast back then. This movie rocked and so many others. Comedies the past 10 years or so are too cliche today and dont have the same charm.
Jude Cole had his hand a number of great 80's soundtracks. This is one of my favorites. The other would be "Out On The Edge" from the movie Heavenly Kid. Another killer track by him!
i was born in '76 and loved the 80s! music was at its greatest lots of artists making MUSIC, not like whats being put out now. oh yeah can never forget the big hair bands.. haha.. thanks to those artists who made my childhood growing up richer in music! Oh id love to get this soundtrack as well LOTS of great songs on it! I have the DVD as well and it gets better and better with lots of laughs!
"Good teacher he really seems to care hehe.... About what I have no idea" awesome movie, good song, and it was pretty cool seeing this on American Dad. As for my childhood, Born '93, but raised on 80's movies and music
This movie is timeless. Every experience and message applies today, with the exception that nobody has their nose buried in cell phones, and most viewers would be like, "WTF is Oingo-Boingo??"
This is a great song and that was a great movie and Rodney Dangerfield and Sally Kellerman, you will be missed and you were such great people! RIP Rodney Dangerfield, RIP Sally Kellerman, you will be missed!
It was really the best of times. Born in '75. So glad I grew up in the 80's. The only things I ever really worried about was girls (OMG the girls !) and global thermal nuclear war. LOL
Oh, and the music was friggin spectacular. Pop. Rock. Metal. So many metal bands, and every one of them could play. No name bands. Go grab something at the music store you never heard on the radio and it was almost always great. Soundtracks were epic.
No young person is going to remember this movie, despite it being a true 80's classic, because we were too young. Hell I was born in 94 and I can barely remember the late 2000s. American Dad gives us a good throwback to inspire interest in these 80's movies anyway. I'd think most of the people that remember that time would be happy we're interested in it too. Besides that sequence from American Dad is priceless.
I remember it I was born in 1986. My father was a Rodney Dangerfield fan as I am as well. The psycho history teacher is one of the best scenes in film.
blah bliff I was born in 85 (since everyone replying to your comment seems bound to post their age) and I havent't heard this song until American Dad. And I fucking LOVE IT!!!
I loved this movie as a kid. Still do. Rodney Dangerfield was at his funniest in that film. It was also my first introduction to the work of Sam Kinison. I would love to buy the soundtrack, as I loved practically all the songs on it. Thanks for putting this up!
Back to School brought me here. You know the title track from the movie of the same name as this song! American Dad did a great little homage but the original is the KING!
I just rented this 30 minutes ago and it keeps pulling to the left! lol both this movie and American dad are awesome sad to see all these AD haters it's really a good show better than most!
I'll admit that american dad brought me back here. But i've been here numerous times before that episode aired. If you've never seen back to school then you should be ashamed of yourself. Classic movie.
Melon: "I don't get *'Physical',* I get *'UPSET'!* When I get *'UPSET'!* 'He', gets *'Physical'!* [ *The Angry Jocks look past Melon, to the booth where his driver let's them see him calmly crush a metal napkin holder, with one hand!* ]
Principal Lewis says Stan what are you doing? You don't have to come to class, just show up for the wrestling match,then Stan tries to return the VW bug he rented.... But they said no.

Back to School brought me here. Classic movie.
Absolutely love this song after hearing it on American Dad. Quickly became one of my favourites
that was such a funny episode 😂
Yeah, i'm coming from that episode. It takes some time to found the song
I don't care what anyone says, the 80's will always be one of the best decades for music in the history of mankind.

@@thewaywelive2775 Awesome, well thanks for telling me my reason for liking something. You must be psychic.
Definitely original! Great times in my opinion
@@chrishateley5582 right on
Rodney Dangerfield. Irreplaceable & Cannot Be Copied. A great character.
Owen Fitzgerald loved him in Easy Money and Ladybugs.
Hear, hear.
Duh he's a god damn legend.
Dangerfield had no clue how funny he was. On the set of caddy shack he told Chevy chase he was bombing cause nobody laughed Chevy looked at him and said Rod they cant it's a closed set every one is leaving they cant stop laughing weve shot this seen 5 times because even the director cant hold it
no respect he get's no respect
Original theme songs like this are sorely missed in cinema today.
Couldn't agree more
Best statement on here!
I couldn't agree more!! I came here just to look for this song! It reminds me of that last bit of summer weather while riding your bike back to school! Nostalgic moments
This song just brings me back to that long labor day weekend , then going back to school. And enjoying the last bit of summer weather
AMEN. Theres alot of songs produced for movies that are great. I guess someone figured theres little to no commercial value for most of them.
Back To School with Rodney Dangerfield....one of the BEST movies of the 80s. And yes it was in an episode of American Dad.
this film is my Coming to America
Don't get me wrong that film is fine and i knew how special it was, but if you ask me which film i think had much better humor, writing, and characters it was Back to School
Seth MacFarland's use of this song last Sunday is yet another example of how to use 80's nostalgia. It doesn't always have to be a shitty remake.
Crazy how many people came here because of the American Dad episode ! Look below at all of the comments ! Thank you Seth McFarlane ! So glad he's an 80's geek !
section8usmc53 lol did you just see it too? how long did it take you to find the song?
40mIKe04 about 10 seconds. Was on adult swim !

Stan?!, you don't have to come to class just show up for the match
The other Fifty one but i rent a beetle :'(

2023. Not seen this film for many years & i have just watched this clasic. It is still good today, as it was many yrs ago.
THUMBS UP FOR THEM NOT MAKING A REMAKE OF THIS CLASSIC MOVIE!
as an 80's kid, this song always makes me feel better and less stressed out.
80s kid myself..... time was so great to live ....... Rodney Dangerfield..... was a great comedian.....love the movie....(back to school)..... Thornton melon best line in the movie.........if you want to look thin...you hang out with fat people........I think I will watch that movie today......
9494 1869 did you ever look at a menu and say ok? When you jog do you leave potholes? When you make love do you have to give directions?
i agree
It's the nostalgia that comforts you...the feeling of being a kid again and not having a care in the world..
Great song!!!! American Dad brought me here after seeing it played on an episode 👍👍👍
Every 80’s movie had to have its song.. this is one of my favorites.
"I rented this car earlier and it's pulling to the right.."
"I ALREADY TOLD HIM NO GARY."
Dylan Watson haha stan you don't need to attend high school
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
AMERICAN DAD 😂
😂👌🏻
I actually feel bad for people who didn't grow up in the 80's...missed a great time with great songs and great movies!
No we didnt we can watch them or listen to them whenever we want its called living in the 21st century.
I was born during the filming if that helps! And I have a thing for 80s culture
I grew up in the 80’s! Was born in exactly 1980!

Yea but being in 89 meant I can enjoy looking at those things and see a little more of this failing planet develop more lol
the 80's were the best. They had some of the best movies and best music. I was born in 84. But i can still appreciate the 80's.
I was born in 80, but I feel like an 80's and 90's kid!
I graduated high school in 1984. Perfect timing for the fun!
American dad anyone?
+MrStockmyster yep AD all the way
+MrStockmyster NO, what series is it on though, i love American Dad
yep A M lol.
yup just watched it and I was like this song is turnt ass fuck
+ciara smith check out the movie back to school, it's a classic comedy.
Back to School brought me here! (smfh)
This should have been released as a single playing on the radio when this movie came out!
missed opportunity
Just 4 years later, JC released his first pop hit in '90 with "Baby Its Tonight", followed by "Time 4 Letting Go". Then in '92 he had "Start The Car" & "Worlds Apart"
the 1980's and 90's will always have the best music
I'd have to say the 70s I wish I was alive then to witness it all
And the best tv too!
Meaning the 80s and 90s. Also the 70s. I loved the incredible hulk!
60s 70s 80s 90s*

80s were the BEST. PERIOD.
If you didn’t see this movie yet, you are missing an 80s gem from one of our best comedians in history. “No respect I’ll tell ya”!
Nothing beats 80's comedies, they were silly but alot of fun. Going to the movies was a blast back then. This movie rocked and so many others. Comedies the past 10 years or so are too cliche today and dont have the same charm.

Yes! Good call. I’m 43 and reading this 10 years after you posted it.
I miss the good old days....When life was simple. Gasoline was cheap. And movies and music were good
Sense 'The Wrestler' episode from American dad ive been looking for this song like FUCKING CRAZY! FINALLY!
Never thought I'd actually enjoy hearing a song about going back to school. :)
1980s were the best at everything.
it was i strongly agree
BACK TO SCHOOL FUCK YEAH!!!! BORN IN 1985,.... EHH CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME!!!!!! 80'S WERE THE BEST!!!!!!
BORN IN 1985 , COOL! SAME YEAR THIS SONG & MOVIE WAS MADE!
i was born in '76 and loved the 80s! music was at its greatest lots of artists making MUSIC, not like whats being put out now. oh yeah can never forget the big hair bands.. haha.. thanks to those artists who made my childhood growing up richer in music!

Greatest movie from a real comedy genius
excellent piece of 80s rock ... just like the movie :)
"Good teacher he really seems to care hehe.... About what I have no idea" awesome movie, good song, and it was pretty cool seeing this on American Dad. As for my childhood, Born '93, but raised on 80's movies and music
“Mr. Melon your wife was just showing us her Klimpt.”
She shows it to everybody
Thorton! I want a divorce!

Hey I'm proud of mine too but I don't go wavin it around at parties
Dear 1980's
I miss you.
i miss it so much
Thank God I lived through the second half of the eighties.

No guilt needed. It's funny, it's touching and it's a lovely time capsule. And has a great soundtrack too!
I may have been born 2001 but man i wish i could visit the 80s!!

Best Song Ever!!!!!!!

"Stan smith - longest man-on-man high school sports embrace "
He broke the record formerly held by the baseball coach.
"That's ok records are made to be broken"
scared look on my face
