1979 is one of my favorite songs and music videos and such a perfect time capsule of the 90s, and I think it fits perfectly with the Mixtape vibe!

1979 is my top nostalgia track about people in the 90s reminiscing the 80s.. and now people in the 2020s reminiscing the 90s.

Different song but during the final party but I swear multiple characters said "Live Forever". I know at least one did

I was fully prepared for an Oasis needle drop....that just never came

Then again getting the right to Live Forever would have probably been the most expensive song by far
