Revenge of the Nerds

Lewis and Gilbert, two nerds, arrive on the campus of Adams College and are immediately kicked around by the Alpha Betas, a football player fraternity, including getting thrown out of the dorm, getting tarred and feathered and ignored by the Greek Council. Lewis, Gilbert and a host of other nerds manage to join Lambda Lambda Lambda and try to think of a way to get back at the Alpha Betas.

Question: Is there an artist and title of the steamy mellow song played when Lewis and Betty start to have sex on the "moon" in the funhouse? Is it a real song or was it just made for the movie only?

Answer: First, Lewis and Betty are not "having sex" - he is raping her, and the writer and director later described it as "not excusable" (https://decider.com/2019/07/26/revenge-of-the-nerds-rape-scene-regret/). Second, the song you hear is "Right Time for Love" by Jill Michaels and Pat Robinson. It was not written for the film.
