Sorry, there was never an "official" soundtrack to the film - John Hughes (the director) was worried about the mix of songs in the movie being too eclectic to sell as an album. But this is the list of what's used in the movie and where you can find most of it. If you can find all the songs on the soundtrack and compile them I just might send flowers to you out of appreciation.
