It’s one of the best teen comedies of the 1980s and here’s every song from the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off soundtrack. The late, great John Hughes is a towering figure when it comes to 1980s comedy films. In addition to coming of age tales like Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink and The Breakfast Club, he also wrote and directed classic comedies like Planes, Trains And Automobiles and Uncle Buck starring John Candy.

If that wasn’t enough he also penned the screenplays for National Lampoon’s Vacation, Beethoven, Home Alone, and its first two sequels. His work has been cited as an influence by everyone from Kevin Smith to Jon Watts while directing Spider-Man: Homecoming. Hughes’ work also helped launch the careers of many actors, including Jon Cryer, Macaulay Culkin, and Molly Ringwald.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off arrived in 1986 and follows the titular slacker - played by Matthew Broderick - who takes a day off school, which turns into quite an adventure. The movie was praised for its hilarious performances and for Ferris’ fourth-wall breaking narration, where he directly addresses the audience. Numerous movies and TV shows have since paid homage to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, including Deadpool and Limitless. John Hughes’ films are also known for their impeccable soundtracks, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is no exception. Here’s a soundtrack guide to the movie.

  • Oh Yeah – Yello Love Missile F1-11 – Sigue Sigue Sputnik Beat City – The Flowerpot Men Taking The Day Off - General Public B.A.D. – Big Audio Dynamite March of the Swivelheads - The English Beat Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want – The Dream Academy Danke Schoen – Wayne Newton Radio People – Zapp I’m Afraid – Blue Room The Edge of Forever – The Dream Academy Twist And Shout - The Beatles

Despite the popularity of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, it took 30 years for the film’s soundtrack to receive an official release. La-La Land Records made a limited release of the album in 2016, which paired most of the songs featured in the movie with composer Ira Newborn’s score. “Oh Yeah” by Yello is probably the most famous song from the movie, and is the piece of music fans have most come to associate with it.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off never received a sequel, though concepts like Ferris heading off to college were discussed. The movie did spawn a TV show in 1990, dubbed Ferris Bueller. Charlie Schlatter (Diagnosis: Murder) played the lead character, and the first episode opened with a meta-reference to the film where Ferris claims the film was based on his life, and he didn’t like Matthew Broderick’s work. Jennifer Aniston (Friends) also played his sister Jeannie, but the show only lasted a season and didn’t prove as popular as rival teen comedy Parker Lewis Can’t Lose.
