Soundtrack
The Summer School soundtrack, on Chrysalis, consists of 80s rock and dance songs with performers like Paul Engemann who is best known for his popular 1983 hit, "Scarface (Push It to the Limit)", Deborah Harry from Blondie, Elizabeth Daily (credited as E. G. Daily on the soundtrack) with her popular hits that had reached the Billboard charts, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Vinnie Vincent, Billy Burnette, and the young Elisa Fiorillo. Three of these performers were on the soundtrack from the popular 1983 gangster movie Scarface and did those songs with rock and roll producer Giorgio Moroder. But on this soundtrack they did these songs with Danny Elfman, another famous film scorer.
Some songs that appear on the film, including James Brown's, "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" and Eddie Murphy's, "Party All the Time" do not appear on the soundtrack. This is also notable as the first (and until Restless in 2011 only) unreleased Danny Elfman film score.
