Let us set the scene: Randy wants to get Julie out of her preppy Southern California bubble, so he introduces her to Hollywood’s edgier nooks where divey punk clubs are awash in a neon glow. As the love birds goof off playing video games and canoodling, Modern English's “I Melt With You” serenades their carefree chemistry and freedom to be together without the disapproving looks from their respective clans.
Coolidge’s choice of music to complement that wanting perfectly encapsulates the youthful, romantic spirit of the film. A definitive post-punk track with dreamy lyrics, it elevates the pacing of the montage and blossoming Romeo-and-Juliet romance suspended in a state of “imaginary grace.”
Released in August 1982, “I Melt With You” was the second single from the band’s sophomore album, After the Snow. According to founding band member Gary McDowell, via Guitar Player, they wanted “it to be a jangly pop song but with avant-garde verses in it, in a Frank Zappa or Tom Waits sort of vein.”
Still, it managed to become an enduring classic of both underground alternative scenes and mainstream pop culture, with its status permanently cemented as an iconic '80s love anthem with its inclusion in Valley Girl. Like, for sure.
