King of Wishful Thinking by Go West

“This was not a big hit, even though they pushed the looks and did all the kiddie telly shows. But - Go West made a great début album, & this is a great track from it, & over the years & zillions of airplays, & because it was in a crap Richard Gere film, this has been absorbed into the social conscience - everyone seems to know at least the choruses. So I decided to jam a more recent live performance to show this, how they have matured, how good the track still is, & why this deserves a spin on a lovely summery day. #partyon

Watched Pretty Woman the other day for the first time in years and am now newly obsessed with the soundtrack.

Was there a late ‘90s teen pop cover of this? If not, quick question - why not? (I hope you all know by now that wishing for a teen pop cover of a song is my highest compliment.)
