LD7: Hypothetical Real Genius Soundtrack

A scant week later, it's time for Live and Direct, episode #7. This week I've assembled a hypothetical soundtrack to the 80's comedy Real Genius, starring Val Kilmer. I say "hypothetical" because there was never an official soundtrack, however many fans have compiled their own lists of songs heard in the movie. This week's show is 44.5MB and runs for 50:36.

The playlist for the show is below, along with the point in time at which each song starts (minutes:seconds). The only song played in the movie that is not included is Tonio K's "The Tuff Do What", as it is unreleased and apparently unavailable in the wild. (however, if you have it, please, please send me a copy?)

1. You Took Advantage of Me - Carmen McRae, 01:31
   
2. I'm Falling - The Comsat Angels, 03:32
   
3. Number One - Chaz Jankel, 08:01
   
4. All She Wants to Do Is Dance - Don Henley, 11:50
   
5. One Night Love Affair - Bryan Adams, 17:01
   
6. The Walls Came Down - The Call, 21:26
   
7. Pleasure Seekers - The System, 25:47
   
8. Standing in the Line - The Textones, 30:25
   
9. Summertime Girls - Yesterday & Today, 34:51
   
10. You're the Only Love - Paul Hyde and the Payola$, 38:25
    
11. Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears for Fears, 44:16

a Real Genius sequel? What you say? That's right, at the end of last year multiple news sites, wikipedia, and blogs were reporting that Val Kilmer has announced a desire to reprise his role as Chris Knight in a sequel to the original Real Genius. A fan has started a site dedicated to this hypothetical sequel. We'll see how that pans out. I suppose it could work, though I'm leery of sequels by default.

If you haven't seen the movie, you should. In the immortal words of Chris Knight, it's a moral imperative!

Enjoy this "what if" soundtrack, and as always, please let me know what you think.
