You asked the same question in "Help Me Identify This" and got what appears to be a definitive answer.

Check this out from this John Hughes web site...

Mystery Solved! The song that is playing in Sixteen Candles when the girls enter the gym for the school dance was a piece composed by Ira Newborn since, for legal reasons, they were not able to use "Our House" by Madness. Ira used the word "Filene," which was the nickname of his girlfriend at the time

They also have some cool clips from some of the movie music from Ira Newborn there...
