[AlamoVampire]

Ive a couple of contenders:

 

 

I would add rick astleys Never Gonna Give You Up in video form, but that would be a little too much. These are my contenders for most 80s songs.

When I made my 80s channel in Pandora over a decade ago, I seeded it with a single song. Other than thumbs up or down it's been pretty much the most 80s station I've ever heard.

The cool thing is Alexa tells me she's playing "Like a Virgin Radio"  which is a great name for an 80s radio station.

The album was actually released November 30, 1979, ,which positions it to hit its heyday in the 80s...

 There have been many Patty Gurdy clips floating around this forum, and the instrument is the Hurdy-Gurdy. I had never seen it before either. It appears to be what you get when you cross a violin with a keyboard, or maybe accordion.

E: I've introduced someone else to The Gurdy. My job is done here....

Heh.  Annie Lennox can do no wrong.

 

One of the best things about 80s music: No AutoTune.

Folks actually had to have talent.  Not merely worked for Disney as a kid.

Well since @Just Jim brought Top Gun into this:

Cant really mention an iconic movie of the 80s and only one iconic song from it 
 

But when you say iconic 80s song, we all know what song we all think of. Its so iconic its found new life and popularity.

Yup. I caved. I listed it.
