There has always been a hint of rockabilly and a lot of fun in his songs, but one that got overlooked was "High School Nights". This catchy tune that looks back on the carefree days of youth was featured in the movie Porky's Revenge in 1985. It would end up being the last time Edmunds cracked the US top 100, settling at #91.
