Forums - General - '80s music that gets stuck in your head...

You know those '80s pop songs that get stuck in your head and just never leave? Well, this is the thread where you can post what are, in your opinion, the most notable offenders.

Now, let me preface this by saying that I'm a musician, and many consider me a musical elitist of sorts. I often look down on the music that comes on the radio as simple, commercialized crap. That being said, I'm a musician, and as such I can't help but sing along to most of the songs I hear on the radio, and '80s music is no exception, lol.

See, I'm primarily a fan of metal, and I also love classic rcok and classical. Even so, there are just some '80s songs that randomly pop in my head, and I just can't get them out! And I'm talking typical '80s music, not other stuff that just happened to come out in the '80s, like Ozzy, Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc. I'm talking Men at Work, and other pop music that's primarily associated with the '80s.

Here are my picks...

Men Without Hats - Safety Dance

 

Dexys Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen

 

Men at Work - Down Under

Paul Simon's Graceland has a monopoly on my 80's music head sticking.
