My first thought was "We Are The World."

Normally I'd write a big old music post on this question, but I think you said enough.

Paul Hardcastle might be a little bit fringe but otherwise your whole song collection is a museum of awesome 80's ridiculousness.

How long did it take you to think of this list? I read it, sat back and did a mental slow clap.

"Rock Lobster" is a song that while recorded in 1979 gets played at every 80's night. Watching people party down to it makes me yearn for sharia law.
