Some 80's FUN!

I am gearing up for an upcoming 80's party and thought this would be a cool idea.
Instead of me racking my brain to remember all those super dope 80's songs that may have been forgotton, I thought I would:

- request that each of you post one of your favorite 80's songs.


I will start it off;


Eddie Murphy and Rick James - Party all the time - 1985

 

In "Mainstream" area:
Visage: fade to grey
M : Pop Muzik
Depeche Mode : Master & Servants (Slavery mix)
Dead or Alive : You spin me round


More "underground":
Front 242: Headhunter
Sisters of Mercy: Floorshow
Virgin Prunes: Pagan Love Song
Number of names: Shari Vari

and Anything by Krafwerk, Telex, etc...

 

I'm more into the poppy stuff, all the 30+ people in my area know me for playing the horribly hilarious stuff.

Oran "Juice" Jones - (I Saw You) Walking In The Rain
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
Paula Abdul - Straight Up
Paula Abdul - Cold Hearted Snake (oooo)
Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True

Just about anything by any of the Jacksons
Culture Club - Karma Chameleon
Billy Idol - White Wedding
Debbie Gibson - I Think We're Alone Now (Was this 80s? early 90s?)
New Edition - Candy Girl
Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full
Audio Two - top Billin
Duran Duran - Notorious
Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy
Run DMC + Aerosmith - Walk This Way
AC/DC - Shook Me All Night Long (loop the first 4 or 8 bars and slap a hip hop acapella on there, hilarious)

I've got a whole playlist at home but I have to go handle some speaker bizness and won't be able to access it till I get in a few hours from now. Shazoo.
