I know this is probably a little too close to the nostalgic 80s thread, but it doesn't quite fit in with that topic. Can someone name some other gloriously cheesy songs along the lines of these three 80s "classics" (by the Simple Minds, OMD, and the Human League, respectively)? Lately every night I've been in the mood to blast 80s pop and I keep coming back to these three. Strangely, a lot of Talk Talk Talk by the Psychedelic Furs fits into this category too.

"Don't You Want Me" is not cheesy. It would also be wrong to lump this absolute synthpop classic in with Simple Minds' AOR movie song and a rather cheesy OMD hit from way after they artistic heyday that was only a hit in the US and nowhere but the US.

interesting grouping of songs...reminds me that the Great Pop Song is really a meditation in the art of being dumped...kids these days, I'm just not sure they really know how to be dumped...
