[edit] The Dream Academy version
Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want was a cover version recorded in 1984 by The Dream Academy.
The instrumental version of the song is the better known cover version, since it was used in the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off (during the Art Gallery scene) along with "The Edge of Forever". The single wasn't originally included in their debut album, The Dream Academy but later appeared on the compilation album, Somewhere in the Sun... Best of the Dream Academy.
