About this song
"Weird Science" was used as the theme for the 1980s comedy of the same name. The band had wanted more time to refine the song before it went to the film's studio, but their label gave an unfinished demo to the film's producers without their knowledge. A longer, more polished version later appeared on the band's 1985 album "Dead Man's Party".
