Movie Come-Back Songs Trivia

Songs from the past sometimes resurface and become popular all over again. This occasionally happens these days with songs from the 80's, and actually happened a lot back in the 80's with songs from the 60's. A good example is a pair of big 60's hits for the Righteous Brothers, "Unchained Melody" and "You've Lost That Loving Feeling."

In both cases, it was use of the songs in popular movies that rekindled the public's interest during the 80's. That, and the fact that they're good songs. So perhaps a similar thing happened with a song from the 80's that's experienced a renaissance. "Space Age Love Song" is a tune from the 80's that only made it to 30 when it was originally released, but it gets requested more and more at today, and I've been hearing it more when I'm out and about. The song was used on the soundtrack for "Monster" and "Not Another Teen Movie," so maybe that's why it's coming around again. Or maybe it's just that it's a great song. So who recorded "Space Age Love Song" back in the 80's?

Bonus Question: Another means by which an old song gets a new lease on life is through a remix. The Ministry Of Sound 2007 Annual features a remix by SJB of the song "Rush Hour." The song was originally a solo hit in 1988 for an artist who had previously served as guitarist and songwriter for an immensely popular group from the early 80's. So who recorded "Rush Hour" back in the 80's?
