Wish it was possible to make a Youtube playlist, so I didn't have to press play on each and every one of these videos...

Anyway, you forgot the most classic song of them all:

And let's not forget the beautiful cover...

holy crap you just gave me tons of music videos to add to musicvideobum Thanks this is going to take forever!
 
-The Clash - Rock The Casbah
-Bananarama - Cruel Cruel Summer (can you say Karate Kid FTW?!!!)
-Cheryl Lynn - Encore (OMFG, 80s funk/soul)
-Madonna - Get into the Groove, Holiday, too many more to name
-Cindi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun (Goonies the movie, oh yeah baby!!)
-Hall & Oats - I can't Go For That
-Sade - How much time do you have.....Sweetest Taboo, Smooth Operator
for the life of me I can't think of who also made: Tainted Love, Illusions [british group, remember]


Which reminds me - does anyone know where I can get an mp3 mix of top 20 80s songs, kinda the stuff that Xm Radio plays on their 80s channel (rather than downloading a bunch of songs at once....)
 
Don't mean to bump after this is almost off the first page... but this one is just too good to pass up.

Yeah, maybe my 80s tastes are a little different:

Put this in your stereo and blast it when someone you don't like is at the door. It's great.
 
No one put any hip-hop on here so you have to start with the Kings:
All 80's Run DMC. Period. My fave - Beats To The Rhyme

others:
Face Down, Ass Up - 2 Live Crew - was released in '88 and then included on there Banned album in 90 or 91. I tried to get my wife to let this be the first song we danced to at our wedding but for some reason she didn't go for it.

Fuck the Police - NWA

I Ain't Trippin' - Todd Shaw (Too Short)

Bring the Noise - Public Enemy

Me So Horny - 2 Live Crew


And since I didn't see anyone else say it --

In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins
Hello - Lionel Richie (got my first piece of the ole pu-ceee to this)
Billie Jean - Mike Jackson
Whip It - Devo
All I Do I think of You - Troop
Cum ON Feel the Noise - Quiet Riot
Free Fallin' - Tom Petty
Rock Me Amadeus - Falco
Safety Dance - Men W/O Hats (shit makes me laugh)

Metallica - One

Which is funny because I never actually liked the song in the 80's - I only came to fully appreciate it in the mid 90's.

"Shout" , "Take on me" were awesome. I wore out the Bryan Adams cassette.

The Cure and GNR was also a major influense.
 
Nice list. Those ones by 4 Non Blondes, Concrete Blonde, and Divinyls were early 90's.

Here's a couple of John Farnham songs from the soundtrack of the movie RAD which totally rock.
