ah, thanks Dark! So that's who performed it. I've been trying to track that song down.
@dark, were you the guy on IMDB who corrected the person who claimed Cry Little Sister was by The Sisters of Mercy?

Like Motz I'm very curious how the song and the sisters came together. The singer's voice doesn't even have a hint of Von in it...
(As I propably told before) I acquired this song when I mentioned I was a fan of the Sisters to someone I just got to know, and he told me he knew this one song by them... I was quite shocked because at the time I believed to have collected at least one version of each song and there a completely unknown one popped up
(But I sorted it out after a couple of minutes only)
And you don't know IMDB?

As I understand it, Gerard McMann was credited on the soundtrack of The Lost Boys as "The Sisters Of Mercy", not knowing that there was already a band of that name.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Not knowing that ![Surprised :eek:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Someone deserved to be executed methinks![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/lolol.gif)
EDIT: Would be rather odd, since the soundtrack seems to be released by WEA... (clicky)

Pulling out my vinyl soundtrack to The Lost Boys, this is what I read:
Cry Little Sister (Theme From The Lost Boys)
Performed by Gerard McMann
Produced by Michael Maineri
Co-Produced by Gerard McMann and Bruce Martin
Written by Michael Maineri and Gerard McMann
Cry Little Sister (Theme From The Lost Boys)
Performed by Gerard McMann

OK, here's the plan.
We agree on an obscure and really not very good track by someone we've never heard of, change its title to something or other by The Sisters, put it in our soulseek/limewire etc shared folders, and see how long it takes to get round the world Cry Little Sister style.

Just take a live copy of 'Moonchild' by the Fields and alter it to 'Moonchild - The Sisters Of Mercy'.
