Looks like Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love, which topped the charts a couple weeks before before and stayed there for a month.

Huh.  If I had been born when I was supposed to, it would have been Another Brick in the Wall pt 2.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Nvm I looked at 1987.
