“The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" is a song by Timbuk 3. It is the opening track from their debut album, Greetings from Timbuk3. Released as the album's first single in 1986, it was the band's only significant mainstream hit.

”Cheap Sunglasses” by ZZ Top was released in 1979 and written when the band members used to tour in cars. At every gas station they see cardboard display of the cheapest sunglasses, which they often buy.

“Sunglasses at Night” Was a 1983 hit for Corey Hart. Hart couldn’t wear his newly bought pair of Ray Bans as it was raining outside while he was recording his debut album. Outcome- this foot tapping hit of the 80’s that still gets people on the dance floor after all these years!

Tom Cruise as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell wears Ray-Ban's model 3025 (Aviator Classic) sunglasses with gold frame and green lenses in the 1986 American action drama Top Gun. The sales of the Ray-Bans skyrocketed by 40% as a result of the movie and they are today recognized as the Top Gun sunglasses.

In the 1983 comedy movie Risky Business Tom Cruise as Joel wears Ray-Ban RB2140 Original Wayfarer sunglasses. The dance scene where Joel dances to "Old Time Rock N' Roll" was completely improvised. In the script Tom Cruise was simply instructed to "dance to rock music". And…he was NOT wearing his sunglasses!
