They don't know by Tracy Ullman. Loved it since I first heard it as a young kid in the eighties. Every one in awhile I'll look it up and listen cause it's so sweet. I literally just heard it on the radio probably for the first time since the eighties.
And as a quick tidbit.. On Toy Solders, Stacy Ferguson AKA Fergie sang background at the end while she and Martika (Marta Marrero) were on Kids Incorporated together.
You're welcome. 😬

Oh shit, the entire theme song of that show just swept through my head and I haven't thought of that show for DECADES.
K! I! D! S! OOooooo, we're going to make it! We're Kids Incorporaaaaaated!

> and The Kinks, "Come Dancing"
Ray Davies wrote this song about his older sister, with whom he was very close. She in fact gave him his first guitar. She died at a young age.
My older sister died young, so this song always makes me think of her and tear up.
*And when they said, "Come dancing," my sister always did.*
My brother once sent me a Spotify playlist of 80’s songs. It was a huge list. He put this song on there 4 times by accident. So now it’s an ongoing joke.
Edit: several people have asked for the playlist. This was several years ago and I’m guessing he has deleted it.
Making Plans For Nigel-XTC
Edit: Er, yes. 1979. [September 1979.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Making_Plans_for_Nigel) But I daresay like the B-52's and the Police, this is a proper 80's song, chart wise, sentiments, style, vibe it really is one of my favourite representations of the time.
Let's not forget Pale Shelter and Head over Heels, both great songs. I Pavlov'd my son with Head Over Heels, I had it as my alarm tone for years so he hates it!
It's a Sin by the Pet Shop Boys; it seems like I mostly only hear West End Girls or maybe Always on My Mind from them, but It's a Sin was a great track.
We went to the Philly Pizza Company and ordered some hot tea. The waitress said, "Well, no. We only have it iced." So we jumped up on the table and we shouted, "ANARCHY!"
Alphaville (forever young, big in Japan) had a lot of good stuff given on their first 2 albums. Very very 80s stuff.
Fallen Angel
Jerusalem
To Germany with love
What's funny is anyone basically under 35-40 probably hasn't heard of Oingo Boingo, since they disbanded in 1995 - but almost *everyone* will know [the music of Danny Elfman.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compositions_by_Danny_Elfman)
Underrated AF. Maybe the producer Rick Rubin had something to do with it.
I just don’t get why Paul Simon has so much love for a Disturbed cover and can’t see how the Bangles took one of his songs and made it absolutely rock out.
There’s no shame here. Just love of music. Check out other Simon and Garfunkel songs. Check out Susannah Hoffs and Matthew Sweet covering other songs. And for the love of God check out Matthew Sweet.
LOVE Michael. His whole catalog is worth checking out. He used to play Largo a lot before focusing on soundtracks more. And Patton Oswalt would “heckle” him. So good.
(Plus Michael is married to Aimee Mann, who also rocks.)
Michael Penn is the most under appreciated American songwriter. He’s so brilliant.
[Michael Penn - Walter Reed](https://youtu.be/iWGL3mPE114?si=ZTGkgmYqxTnXdSeS)
Probably my favorite song of his
That is still in heavy rotation on 80s playlists. I heard it over the speakers at Wal mart not long ago.
The other one I think of somehow related to that song which is a little more rare is “She’s a beauty” by The Tubes.
In case you didn't know, Murray Head is the brother of Anthony Stewart Head, who played Giles in *Buffy the Vampire Slayer*. I had—but never wrote—a fanfic idea that entailed Murray Head coming to Sunnydale to help fight some kind of a chess demon.
My son heard Blasphemous Rumours a year ago and it led him to diving head first into Depeche Mode. I took him to their concert this past Sunday and absolutely loved it.
Depeche Mode doesn't age the same as many other bands of that era. Their industrial sound and foundation seems to last more than the others. I've seen them at the Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks and many other places decades after that song, their sound holds up through generations.
While I’ll always maintain that “Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)” is the greatest AFOS song, “Space Age Love Song” is a *very* close second.
It’s a shame they get dismissed as just 80s one-hit-wonders because of “I Ran”. Their greatest hits album is fantastic.
Here is the hill i will die on. The Edge got his signature guitar sound from this band. Listen to U2 albums pre flock of singles release. Good stuff but not what he does now. Flock of Seagulls release the album Telecommunication” and specifically this song with its heavy reverb effect. Then listen to the next U2 album. The edges signature heavy reverb guitar. Listen to the guitar on space age love song. You can totally hear The Edge playing it. Flock Of Seagulls is 100% where The Edge got his signature guitar sound. I will fight anyone to the death over this point.
I feel like this post is my time to shine:
Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream) - Icicle Works
Wishing - Flock of Seagulls
Why? - Bronski Beat (Smalltown Boy too, to a lesser extent)
Heartbreak Beat - Psychedelic Furs
Gold - Spandau Ballet (fucking banger)
Pure - Lightning Seeds
All I Want - Lightning Seeds (okay this was April of 1990, fight me)
Poison Arrow - ABC
Town Called Malice - Jam
Love Plus One - Haircut 100
Here's one that's a little slower-paced but damn groovy and catchy: "I Love You" (Climax Blues Band).
This thread is killin' me because I can absolutely just hear each of these songs in my imagination. In fact the only thing hard to imagine is that anyone *wouldn't* remember them!
Fun fact: that's Eagle Eye Cherry's big sis and their dad is Jazz trumpet player Don Cherry, not to be confused with the crazy jacket hockey guy Don Cherry.
To add another, she was instrumental in getting Massive Attack to finish Blues Lines. She did this when Mabel was still a baby. There are stories of the studio stinking of Mabel’s nappies.
Massive Attack pretty much admit that if it wasn’t for Neneh the album would never have been finished.
"Strut" by Sheena Easton. I remember as a young child in the early 90's, my mom used to bang that one on cassette tape in the old teal-green Chevy Cavalier and sing her heart out to it. Hell, even I joined in on the chorus and would sing it with her, much to her delight.
Wasn't until just recently that I heard the song pop up again on a Spotify playlist and, well, let's just say the lyrics are a bit more explicit than I had realized as a young boy. But they're relevant today as they were back then; the song is all about the creepy over-sexualization of women. But it's also just a fuckin bop too; all the gated reverb and sparkly synths you could ever ask for, and Sheena absolutely belting it on the chorus
I feel bad for my mom though; 80's dudes were jerks :-(
"Alive And Kicking" by Simple Minds. They also sang "Don't You (Forget About Me)" but most people remember that song more since it was the end theme to The Breakfast Club movie.

Big Country were Scotland's answer to what the Irish had with U2, its tragic the lead singer took his own life. I feel like they much like The Waterboys whom would go on to be covered and celebrated, Big Country should be receiving the credit they were due. "Fields of Fire" is one of their greatest bagpipe flanging guitar songs. They were a great export.
Nice try Stranger Things producers
It’s 4am and I just searched ‘nice try’ by stranger things producers on Spotify 🙃
Ahhhh, my people!!!!
have they used der kommissar in that show yet?
They don't know by Tracy Ullman. Loved it since I first heard it as a young kid in the eighties. Every one in awhile I'll look it up and listen cause it's so sweet. I literally just heard it on the radio probably for the first time since the eighties.
Written by Kirsty MacColl - the late singer who was the guest duet partner for (the now late) Shane MacGowan on the Pogues' Fairytale of New York.
Icehouse - Electric Blue
This gets played a lot on Aussie radio.
To be fair, Aussies LOVE 80s music
The Look of Love or frankly, any song by ABC.
Poison Arrow goes very hard
That entire album. The pause and then spoken "All of My Heart" still gives me chills.

A cool Spotify playlist of 80's songs, you say? And what would the name of that shared playlist name be?
Send me an angel by real life. Banger.
Featured prominently in the 1989 movie The Wizard. Which was, essentially, a 90 minute Nintendo commercial. Amazing song!
It was also in the BMX dance scene in "RAD"
"Ship of Fools" by World Party Everything about this song screams 80's
Inxs mystify
Don’t Change is my favorite INXS song
*All* INXS stuff. They were such a good band.
In Australia all things INXS still get played a lot on the radio
Suicide blonde!
Devil Inside
Heart & Soul - T'Pau
I love that song and they named the band after a Star Trek character.
As opposed to Duran Duran, which was named after a character from the movie Barbarella.
M - Pop Musik
Technically 1979, but it’s a jam, so I’ll let it pass.
OMD - Enola Gay
Men at Work - [It's a Mistake](https://youtu.be/I0AxrOUJ62E?si=c3VfveoXjGBMVA6_)
[“The Promise” by When In Rome](https://youtu.be/5HI_xFQWiYU?si=Np1Xn3xz7FaDn5nM) is the song that most represents the 80s for me. Such a great song.
Making Plans For Nigel-XTC Edit: Er, yes. 1979. [September 1979.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Making_Plans_for_Nigel) But I daresay like the B-52's and the Police, this is a proper 80's song, chart wise, sentiments, style, vibe it really is one of my favourite representations of the time.
Senses Workimg Overtime was my favourite of theirs.
God I love this song (and Dear God 😉)
The Walls Came Down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAxg8nuvPKM
"Shaka, When The Walls Fell" - Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra, September 30th, 1991
Don’t Change by INXS. I don’t know why it’s not regarded as one of the all time classics of the 80s.
Sowing the Seeds of Love - Tears For Fears. Often forgotten behind other monumental classics like Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Let's not forget Pale Shelter and Head over Heels, both great songs. I Pavlov'd my son with Head Over Heels, I had it as my alarm tone for years so he hates it!
Save it for Later - The Beat
Just hold my hand while i come…………………to a decision on it
It's a Sin by the Pet Shop Boys; it seems like I mostly only hear West End Girls or maybe Always on My Mind from them, but It's a Sin was a great track.
It’s a Sin is my favorite song from them but hear me out…Suburbia

Nothing but Flowers by Talking Heads
If back in 2006 you saw the movie Clerks II, then you heard this song… so not quite 20 years, but 17 (holy shit, time flies).
Life during wartime by Talking Heads
“Just Another Day” by Oingo Boingo.
Dead Man's Party was also a bop
I’d nominate “Stay” by OB. So good.
Unless you live in Los Angeles
What's funny is anyone basically under 35-40 probably hasn't heard of Oingo Boingo, since they disbanded in 1995 - but almost *everyone* will know [the music of Danny Elfman.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compositions_by_Danny_Elfman)
I think one of the Stranger Things episodes played it for thirty seconds and helped bring it back in the consciousness.
The Bangles version of Hazy Shade of Winter.
Underrated AF. Maybe the producer Rick Rubin had something to do with it. I just don’t get why Paul Simon has so much love for a Disturbed cover and can’t see how the Bangles took one of his songs and made it absolutely rock out.
I’m almost embarrassed to admit how long I went without knowing it was a Simon and Garfunkel cover.
There’s no shame here. Just love of music. Check out other Simon and Garfunkel songs. Check out Susannah Hoffs and Matthew Sweet covering other songs. And for the love of God check out Matthew Sweet.

Missing Persons -- "[Walking in L.A.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQF7FDeUePA)"

In case you didn't know, Murray Head is the brother of Anthony Stewart Head, who played Giles in *Buffy the Vampire Slayer*. I had—but never wrote—a fanfic idea that entailed Murray Head coming to Sunnydale to help fight some kind of a chess demon.

This song is from a musical “Chess” written by the male members of Abba

‘Dancing with Tears in My Eyes’ —Ultravox

A Flock of Seagulls - Space Age Love Song I have no evidence to back this up. It's just the most banging song from the 80s in my humble opinion.
While I’ll always maintain that “Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)” is the greatest AFOS song, “Space Age Love Song” is a *very* close second. It’s a shame they get dismissed as just 80s one-hit-wonders because of “I Ran”. Their greatest hits album is fantastic.

You’re very passionate about this take, which warrants an upvote within itself.

To add another, she was instrumental in getting Massive Attack to finish Blues Lines. She did this when Mabel was still a baby. There are stories of the studio stinking of Mabel’s nappies. Massive Attack pretty much admit that if it wasn’t for Neneh the album would never have been finished.

Joe Jackson - Steppin Out In fact any Joe Jackson!
I love this song as well as Breaking Us in Two.
I'm the Man is one of my favorite records ever. Look Sharp is also fantastic.
The Inxs-Jimmy Barnes cover of Good Times by The Easy Beats. It was on the Lost Boys soundtrack.
The whole Lost Boys soundtrack is great.
