Favorite 80's dance song! HELP!

bjohs · August 2011

Okay MFP community, I need your help! My 25th class reunion is coming up in a few days and I'm in charge of the music. I have about 5 hours of fun 80's dance songs to sort through but I'm worried I might be missing a really great song. What song from the 80's makes you want to get up and dance every single time?

Edit to add: It can also be a 70's dance song!
