The 30+ crowd, I need some 80's pop music ideas.?
My girlfriend and I decided to turn our housewarming party into an 80's party. We are all dressing the part (I have a sweet mullet whig with ripped jeans) and we are all in our early 30's. I know all the mainstream pop songs from the 80's. I want some ones where everyone says "oh yeah, I forgot about that song". Any help will be totally rad.

I guess it depends on what you really like. Maybe some freestyle..."Spring Love" by Stevie B?..Its late 80s but just a suggestion =)
- puppyloveLv 61 decade ago
For a housewarming party, how about the song, "Our House" by Madness?
Other ideas: "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls, "Goody Two-Shoes" by Adam Ant, "Take On Me" by A-Ha, "I Can't Wait" by Nu Shooz, anything by Huey Lewis & the News and Journey, "I Feel For You" by Chaka Khan, "Higher Love" by Steve Winwood, and of course stuff by Michael Jackson.
