Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Soundtrack

The classic movie is out in a shiny nice Blu-ray, but can you buy the soundtrack anywhere? No. And surprisingly enough, you still can’t buy all the songs that comprise it. So first is a widget you can listen to and buy the songs available through Amazon, then I’ve created links to each song, with an option to purchase it at Amazon (or iTunes) if it’s possible, and a link to the song directly if it’s not (a number of files are hosted at Sound Bites).

Love Missile F1-11 – Sigue Sigue Sputnik
I Dream of Jeannie: Theme From I Dream of Jeannie
Oh Yeah – Yello
Beat City – The Flowerpot Men
Bad – Big Audio Dynamite
Main Theme from Star Wars (Instrumental)
Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want (instrumental) – The Dream Academy
Danke Schoen – Wayne Newton
Twist and Shout – The Beatles
Radio People – Zapp
I’m Afraid – Blue Room
Taking The Day Off – General Public
The Edge of Forever – The Dream Academy
March of the Swivelheads – The (English) Beat
Oh Yeah (Dance Mix) – Yello

However, if you’re a purist (like me), you want to have the whole thing with uncompressed audio. Then it gets a little trickier.

Two of the songs (Beat City and I’m Afraid) have never received a digital release (the 7″ was given away at screenings). But I did find an archived radio show where the host ripped those songs.

Here’s links to the other songs at Amazon (each on its own CD, I’m afraid):
