IF YOU LEAVE AND TRUE

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (or OMD ) is the British quartet responsible for writing and recording Pretty In Pink's "If You Leave."
OMD's members are Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphrey's, Malcolm Holmes and Martin Cooper. 
1985, the band wrote the hit song "If You Leave" for the film Pretty In Pink.
The song was featured on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack and became a huge Top 5 hit in the US and Canada.
How did they come up with easily one of the most pretentious band names - EVER?
They consulted Andy McCluskey's bedroom wall of course! This is where he wrote ideas for songs.
1996 Rolling Stone Magazine , McCluskey is quoted as saying, "I wake up some nights and think 'Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark'? What a stupid name! Why did we pick that one?"

Personally, I dont care, I just LOVE this song!

Spandau Ballet
This British band is made up of Gary Kemp and Steven Norman on guitar, later saxophone and percussion.
IMO, their song TRUE defined the Sixteen Candles ending and is thee most romantic 80's anthem - period.
There has been much debate about what inspired this band's name.
Now that I have read more about it, the image of Samantha and Jake has taken a far back seat to this VERY important history lesson. I am not so smitten.
All I can say is Google Spandau Ballet WWII and deside for yourself.
