Violet also mentioned that thanks to her sharing underrated and lesser-known ’80s music and artists, she helped Don Perry, the music producer for Girls Just Want to Have Fun (aka the movie that got her into the ’80s), release the soundtrack for the 1986 movie The Malibu Bikini Shop.
Essentially, the only way to hear the songs was to watch the movie—they weren’t available to stream. Now, thanks to Violet’s help, the original master recordings are available on YouTube. She said, “That was a really full circle moment for me!”
