I dunno where I heard or read this, but I thought it was originally "Party At Ground Zero."

I can't say if it it would have made it a better scene, but definitely seems more accurate for an 18 year old in late Eighties Seattle than Peter Gabriel

Odd how the character in the film loves a song that wasn't a hit on first release and she might not have heard but as a result of its exposure in this movie it becomes better known.

From Vanity Fair
The Peter Gabriel boom-box scene is obviously the moment of the film, but that’s not the song that was playing on set when Cusack shot it. Do you think the scene would have been any different if you had the actual song playing?
Absolutely. It was completely different with the song John Cusack was playing when we filmed. What he’s actually playing is Fishbone’s “Bonin’ in the Boneyard.” John was a big Fishbone fan and turned us all onto the band. But when we watched the scene as filmed, with that tune playing outside Diane Court’s window, the effect wasn’t particularly romantic or yearning. It was: “Hey girl, I love Fishbone and I’m not going to let you sleep.”

that suits cusacks personality tho
he always seemed like a cool asshole even in say anything w the whole punching bag thing (then later in hi fidelity)

Also, in my research for this very important post, I would that Smithereens hit "A Girl Like You" was actually written to be the theme of the movie ("I'll say anything, you want to hear...") but it turned out not so
Pat DiNizio from Smithereens: “‘A Girl Like You’ was initially a ‘work for hire’, written for the film Say Anything. Writer/director Cameron Crowe (Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Singles) gave me a copy of the screenplay and a VHS work print of the ‘film-in-progress’ for me to work with. I interpreted the best bits of dialogue between the main characters and told the story of the movie lyrically, but I was careful to write a set of lyrics that stood on their own, that told a story independent of the film as well.”
― Jay Elettronica Viva (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 24 May 2017 21:29 (seven years ago) link
This dude's life was something else [via wiki]
When Rolling Stone moved its offices from the West Coast to New York in 1977, Crowe decided to stay behind. He also felt the excitement of his career was beginning to wane....
At the age of 22, Crowe came up with the idea to pose undercover as a high school student and write about his experiences. Simon & Schuster gave him a contract, and he moved back in with his parents and enrolled as Dave Cameron at Clairemont High School in San Diego. Reliving the senior year he never had, he made friends and began to fit in. Though he initially planned to include himself in the book, he realized that it would jeopardize his ability to capture the true essence of the high school experience.
His book, Fast Times at Ridgemont High: A True Story, came out in 1981.

“Creature Comfort”Arcade Fire’s “Creature Comfort” Knows Its Own Importance
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 17 June 2017 18:01 (seven years ago) link
That whole track review is based on a misreading of the lyrics:
The lyrical arena is where Arcade Fire have out-Arcade-Fired themselves, with the song humble-bragging at one point about Funeral preventing a fan’s suicide. There are specific moments of empathy here that ring true to how music can be the salve, like the line, “Some girls hate their bodies, stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback.” And their overflowing hearts are in the right places, amplifying the unspoken struggle over whether to go through with it in the chorus before Win Butler reasons, “Well if you’re not sure, better safe than sorry.” Inevitably, this song will stop someone from doing something rash. The problem is that Arcade Fire are pompous about knowing that, throwing their arms wide around the problem and presenting their own music as the solution. Bono on line one for you, Win.
That sounds horrible, but the verse in question is pretty clear that Funeral was going to help her kill herself, not prevent it:
Assisted suicideShe dreams about dying all the timeShe told me she came so closeFilled up the bathtub and put on our first record
Not the worlds best lyrics but... That's a pretty weird reading of it.
