Just looking around for information on the web, I found that Keep It Up was in the Soundtrack for the less than memorable film, Riding High starring Eddie Kidd! Also there were two tracks on the That Summer soundtrack. Anyone know other films with Rats songs in the soundtrack?

I seem to remember (mid 1980's) bob had a screenplay developed called 'cowboys' - probably a working title. I think it was based on the charachter in Joey, Rat Trap and When the night comes. Does anyone remember hearing about it??? I don't think it ever got into production.
Also check out the link below, its an imdb search for boomtown rat songs that have been broadcast as part of films/ tv shows, but I don't think its a comprehensive list.
