Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - The Lost Soundtrack
July 25th, 2008 by timbotronFerris Bueller’s Day Off - near the top of the list of culturally significant films of the mid-80’s.
And it had a great soundtrack.
And the soundtrack was never released.
This was a serious loose end of my adolescence.
Apparently director John Hughes was concerned about the eclectic range of music in the soundtrack and so the soundtrack was never released. Over 20 years later and people still want it.
Here is the soundtrack, in Muxtape form:
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - The Lost Soundtrack
*Tracks I did not include because of space issues and because they’re kinda lame-ish:
• “Theme from ‘I Dream of Jeannie’” - Hugo Montenegro
• “Star Wars (Main Title)” - John Williams
• “I’m Afraid” - Blue Room
Voo-Doo Economics Bonus Round:
The Nike Dunk Pro SB “Ferris Bueller” - based on Ferris Bueller’s wardrobe.

I wanted that soundtrack so badly when it came out. I ended up watching the credits in slow-motion and buying many of the albums listed. But I never figured out “March of the Swivelheads,” thanks for that.
I mean, it was the first use of “Oh Yeah” in a movie! That alone would have sold a pile of cassettes…
