80's Prom Night: Valley Girl Trivia

This weekend is prom night! Proms are a big part of teen movies, and teen movies were, like, a MAJOR part of the 80's! Much in the same way that Prom Night is the big climax at the end of high school, the Prom provides the setting for the big climax in films like "Pretty In Pink," "Dance 'Til Dawn," and the 80's classic "Valley Girl."

In the film "Valley Girl," punk rocker Randy is vying for the affections of Julie, who is trying to choose between him and her more straight laced boyfriend Tommy. When Julie rejects Randy, he is heartbroken, and spends the night drinking at a club at the edge of town. The band playing in the club is an actual band from the 80's, and in the scene they play a little of their hit song "A Million Miles Away." What is the name of this band?

Bonus Question: Earlier in the film, Randy is going out on a limb to get Julie's attention. He camps out on her lawn, he's the ticket taker at the movie theater, the server at the drive in, he even dedicates a song to her on the radio. What's the name of the song and what's the name of the band who recorded it?
