[placid path]

Okay, so somehow I got roped into being the dj for an 1980's themed dance and i need to download some music, so my question to YOU is if you could pick 3 songs from the 80's you think would be NEEDED for an 80's dance party, what would they be ?  NC:

[EyeScream]

"Tainted Love" -- Soft Cell

"Maneater" -- Hall & Oates

"Safety Dance" -- Men Without Hats

[So Much So little]

Q Lazarus - Goodbye Horses

Joy Division - Love will tear us apart

Whitney Houston - I want to dance with somebody

bonus: New Order - Blue Monday (biggest 12 inch single of all time, gotta throw that in there!)
