This song has already appeared on several threads, but it's worth mentioning again - 'Let's Go All The Way' by Sly Fox.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EyVzLVGd6QA-PPLE COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!

Falco, 'Rock Me Amadeus'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVikZ8Oe_XAAs a kid I could never figure out what he was singing. Later I realised the lyrics are in German, not English.

oh shit Hurting, that reminded me of this, which a friend of mine played to DEATH at parties the year after I graduated from college:

in college, if I was DJ-ing the party after one of the women's choir's concerts, I would always play thing song:

all of my friends in that group (including my now-wife) loved it

Dan, I was an adolescent at the time, so for me it was more about homemade nachos and the Box (pka Jukebox Network), mostly waiting for the Pop that Coochie video to come on.

the breakdown around 4:15 is one of my favorite things ever; The Movement aping it is one of the reasons why I liked that track so much, and Skin Up doing it in reverse also won my heart

First thing I thought of when I saw this thread was Sly Fox and was beaten to it.
Thinking about this did just cause me to spend half an hour looking through the billboard charts from around May 1986 and there's so much shameless nostalgia there for me - Falco, Howard Jones, Level 42, the Jets, OMD, Pet Shop Boys, just endless.

I find I still listen to most of the stuff I listened to back then, but every once in a while a track like that Dana Dane jam pops into my head.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 5 November 2012 17:33 (twelve years ago)
Also this Love & Money track that was big around our way, in my mind the archetypal late 80's denim wearing quiff'd-up Glasgow hipster tune.

Dunno why but I've listened to this Luxuria song about 15 times in the last three days. They were Howard Devoto's next band after Magazine and that was their first single. Kind of similar to the sort of thing that Wire were doing in the late 80s.
