it's not.. it was a coincidence and was not intended to correlate with the movie. the guys of sponge however did want to have molly ringwald in the video for the song due to the common misunderstanding, but something in her contract screwed it up so she ended up not doing it.
I remember 2nd hand claims from the band that it had nothing to do with Ringwald. But it seemed like they were being coy. So much of youth culture was drenched in irony, back then. People have always loved John Hughes movies but it was hard to admit it in the zeitgeist. That they wanted Ringwald in the video suggests they approved of the association.

Not that this song is about the movie. It's clearly about something else. Just that the pop culture reference to the old, doo-wop song & movie evoke an image.
