Songs for 80s Theme Party

[GodDamnVampire]

Sis in law and I are planning an 80s themed party for NYE.
If you were having an 80s party, what would you like on the playlist?
I want to hear all about your favourite tracks please!

A Song from under the Floorboards by Magazine
Mama used to Say by Junior (may have misremembered both the name and the artist)
Mirror Man - Human league
Together in Electric Dreams - Phil Oakley and Georgio moroder
When Doves Cry by Prince
Geno by Dexies Midnight Runners
Our Lips are Sealed by the Fun boy three

Another one, my absolute favourite-

Drop the Pilot by Joan Armatrading 😁

99 Red balloons
Come on Eileen - Dexys and midnight runners
Uptown girl- billy joel
Gold/True - Spandeau ballet
rio - Duran duran
should have known better - Jim Diamond
Private dancer - Tina turner

You need some one hit wonders and/or novelty songs

Agadoo -Black Lace was 1984 for example

Hazel Dean
Modern Talking

You also need Nobody's Diary by Yazoo for that section

Agadoo and the birdie song for pure cheesy pop
Bon Jovi living on a prayer for the inner rock god/goddess
Anything by madness!!

These are all good ones!

Electric dreams, tainted love, like a virgin, hungry like a wolf, gold, power of love (huey Lewis) bit of stock Aiken and waterman stuff, powder ballads to sing along to

Blue Monday - New Order
White Lines - Grandmaster Flash
Fame - Irene Cara
Pretty in Pink - The Psychedelic Furs
Seventeen Seconds - The Cure
The Whole of the Moon - The Waterboys

Great, thanks OP! I'll be in neon leg warmers and roller-skates with a Bananarama LP under my arm. Can't wait.
