Around the Network

This is my area of expertise,

1) Tell it to my Heart (Taylor Dayne)
2) We Built This City (Starship)
3) Together Forever (Rick Astley)
4) Take on Me (Aha)
5) Starlight (Madonna)

These songs are the 80est if 80s, nestled in that 84 to 87 epicenter of synthpop. While Billie Jean is one of the most popular 80s songs, its composition was more modern than the current r&b of the time

Some Very '80s songs and most of them still carry relevant themes.

Safety Dance (Men without Hats)
Don't Worry be Happy (Bobby McFaren)
I love Rock and Roll (Joan Jet)
A little Good News (Anne Murry)

A little WTF bonus, though it is a 70's song:
Freaking and the Freaker's ball. (Dr Hook and the Medicine show)

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

As someone who actively followed music in 80s, it really depends on what you were into and how you remember 80s...it can be everything from something like this

over half-cheesy stuff like this

and downright cheesy like this

Of course, many will remember something like this

Personally, I mostly remember it like this:

Anything from Short circuit.

 



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Seemed like MTV replayed it endlessly.
