80's Songs That Make Me Feel Good

I was listening to my iPod on my way to work, as is my usual practice and a song came on. It was "You Might Think" by The Cars. As I listened to it, I thought..."This is a fun song." It just made me feel good inside. There are a few of those songs, especially in the 80's, that were songs that just made you feel good. Here's a small list of the one's I can think of off the top of my head.
  • You Might Think by The Cars
  • Not My Slave by Oingo Boingo
  • Doo Wa Ditty (Blow That Thing) by Zapp and Roger
  • Do You Wanna Hold Me? by Bow Wow Wow
  • Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham
  • Rock This Town by The Stray Cats
  • Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo
  • Be Good Johnnny by Men At Work
  • Roam by The B52's
  • Party at Ground Zero by Fishbone
  • Goonies Are Good Enough by Cyndi Lauper
  • The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats
  • (Keep Feeling) Fascination by The Human League
  •  Big Mess by Devo
  • Mickey by Toni Basil
  • Everybody Have Fun Tonight by Wang Chung
  • Rise by Public Image Ltd.
  • Vibeology by Paul Abdul
  • Kiss Me by Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy
  • Happy Birthday by Altered Images
  • Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners
  • Belly of the Whale by Burning Sensations
  • Never Enough by The Cure
  • Dance Hall Days by Wang Chung
  • Perfect Way by Scritti Politti
  • Kiss Them For Me by Siouxsie & The Banshees
  • Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' by Michael Jackson
  • The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News
  • I Would Die For You by Prince
  • Who's Johnny by El Debarge
  • Shiny Shiny by Haysi Fantayzee
  • I Do The Rock by Tim Curry
These are just off the top of my head, so it's certainly not a complete list. I'd be curious to know what 80's tune made you feel good.

I wish I had some that come to mind, but I am not an 80's fan! :) But I love that you are!
