I want to go to that land. You know, where adventure is.
My favorite 80′s song is Rick James “SuperFreas=k” because I was somewhat of a freak myself back then.
Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran has got to be one of my all time favorite 80′s songs. I can’t hear that song now and not think of a particular scene in Old School involving vegetables. Mind the stepchildren.
How about Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes?” Throw in John Cusack and boom box and you get pure 80′s magic!
gotta go with Stevie Wonder’s Ebony and Ivory with Paul McCartney
“Back in Time” by Huey Lewis and the News because I love Back to the Future, also “Power of Love” is another favorite.
Are You Still Dying Darling?
by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Wake me up before you go-go by Wham. I love that song because it just makes me want to dance everytime I hear it.
this is where y’all hook me up
o yeah and the promise romantic and thoughtful
Still rock & roll to me by billie joel. Love to rock & roll
I have always liked “Maneater” by Daryl Hall & John Oates. The song is catchy and it reminds me of a girl I dated when I was in high school.
what about us Deaf people who don’t listen to music??? gggrrrrrrr
you never watched music videos? i am assuming that you are hinting that you want to see this movie but have never “listened” to songs before, but i am certain you watched music videos and read the lips like you would do with this movie you want passes for.
All of the best songs came out in the 80s, so it’s really hard to pick a favorite! How about “Too Shy” by Kajagoogoo???
Also, lets net even bring up the fact that you sir(Broomstick) are in South Carolina, and cant even make it to this screening.
True Film Geeks go for
“Reptiles and Samurai” by Oingo Boingo.
I don’t know if this is an 80′s band but it was from the movie “Can’t Buy Me Love” – The African Anteater Ritual – HAHAHAHA
“Mickey” – Toni Basil.
Why? Try getting it out of your head after you hear it next time (wait, it’s in your head now, isn’t it?)
I want to see this movie and I want to see it for free!
It would have to be Thompson Twins Hold Me Now!
Hall and Oates – You Make My Dreams Come True
It’s so happy and upbeat and catchy. It’s the 80s encompassed into one song, yet it’s one of the few 80s songs I’ve found can survive the time and be just as contemporary as anything else. Plus, that moustache.

My favorite 80′s song is Shot Through The Heart by Bon Jovi! It is perfect before any hockey game and it has alot of truth to it!
