"Don't You (Forget About Me)" is a 1985 pop song performed by Scottish rock band Simple Minds. The song is best known for being played during the opening and closing credits of the John Hughes film The Breakfast Club. It was written and composed by producer Keith Forsey and Steve Schiff, the latter of whom was a guitarist and songwriter from the Nina Hagen band.
There's a new hair band in town -- but perhaps not the kind you'd
expect. Pet snack brand Temptations introduces the Electric Furs, an
outfit made of singing and instrument-playing cats who perform a kitty
rendition of Simple Minds' pop classic "Don't You (Forget About Me)."
The new music video is part of the brand's new "Treat Them Too"
campaign, created out of Adam & Eve/DDB London. It tells the story
of a kitty who pines away at his shopping-addicted owner, reminding her
not to forget about him as she peruses purses, shoes and more at the
mall. It plays out kind of like an angsty John Hughes film, and you're
wondering if in the end, the owner will come through for her little
furry one. Adam & Eve's revamped lyrics add to the comedy and drama
-- as in one verse when the original song's famous "la, la, la"s become
"meow, meow, meow"s. Plus the tabby asked for more saying the word "HEY" in this one
very good
