Soundtrack Song Changed


I'm watching this on Encore right now. In the Delta house's intro scene when the mannequin comes flying out the window the song "Louie Louie" is playing. I remember it being a different song when I saw this in the past. "Louie Louie" was used later in the film. Anyone know the story on the change?

Eventually, there will come a day when science acknowledges the supernatural

Watching it now. The song is "Twistin' the Night Away".

Thanks, Eddie. Wonder why they changed it?

I don't even know enough to know how much I don't know. Ya know?

Sometimes soundtracks change due to rights issues. For years in the movie Weird Science during the escalator scene the song Pretty Woman plays but on video its changed to the Weird Science theme song. The opening theme and other soundtrack songs in 16 Candles, some songs on the Fast Times at Ridgemont High are also good examples of soundtrack switching.

Actually, I saw this on DVD, and "Louie, Louie" was used in the Delta introduction scene. The scene you were viewing, which contained "Twistin' the Night Away", was actually the scene where the Deltas have the toga party.
