Wake me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham!
Just Because
I also think that anything by Banarama and Duran Duran makes me feel like trippin' back to the 80s too!

Tainted Love - Soft Cell
Synth pop was big in the 80s with British bands making a big impression in the USA.

"Video killed the radio star"- The Buggles
It was the first video on Mtv and rightly so. It was in the 80's (and MTV helped) that music transformed into a whole new way that we view and listen. CD's became popular and upped the demand for higher quality music, a video must accompany any hit (thus the need for attractive singers), etc...

Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n' Roses.....it brought popular music out of the pathetic state it was in and started it back on a path where you actually enjoyed turning the radio on and listening.

"Take on me" by Aha. They are the epitomy of 80s one-hit wonders.
