    So ... I sing in a cover band and we're looking to add quite a few 80s songs to our repertoire. For those on this thread - would the 80s songs get you up on the dance floor???

    Wicked Game – Chris Isaak
    Just Like Heaven* – The Cure
    Pride and Joy – Stevie Ray Vaughan
    Summer of ’69 – Bryan Adams
    Keep Your Hands to Yourself – Georgia Satellites
    Crossfire – Stevie Ray Vaughan

    I like a lot of these songs but they don't all inspire dancing (for me anyhow)

    The best ones IMO are:

    What I Like About You* – The Romantics (GREAT)

    Keep Your Hands to Yourself – Georgia Satellites


    Dancing with Myself *– Billy Idol (Good for pogoing)

    Come On Eileen* – Dexy’s Midnight Runners

    I love a-ha. The video to this song was very cool, too.
    They were still putting out music up until a couple years ago and Morten Harket's voice is still amazing.

    Agreed. There were good songs in there, but most were too slow to really dance to. I read "pogoing" as pooping. Add REM's "It's The End of The World As We Know It" to that list, and also House Martins' "Happy Hour".
