As Milner starts cruising, the 1961 Del Shannon song Runaway is playing on the radio. This was the first hit song to feature a synthesizer. The next hit with a synth was Telstar by the Tornadoes, which was released the same year as the setting of the movie. Telstar was inspired by the telstar satellite, which was the first communications satellite launched and the first to carry a live TV broadcast. While most likely unintentional, the fact that Runaway was in the film but not Telstar supports the movie's theme, which draws a division between the familiar past and the unknown but enticing future.
