Oooh so many 80s songs to choose from I could literally list hundreds.

But as it's a Saturday night I'm going to go to totally off piste and away from all the usual responses to 80s songs and choose probably the best (cheesiest?) piece of cheesy 80s Europop I can think of and suggest 'Brother Louie' by Modern Talking. Big hair, big shoulder pads, big 80s euro choon

Loved the 80's it's my era so far too many tunes to choose from but gotta have a bit of Duran Duran, spandau ballet or madonna. Guess I may be disappointed when I watch X factor!!

Just YouTube'd it. You're right. I stand corrected.

I was never really a fan of that incarnation of Fleetwood Mac, I much preferred them with Peter Green.

Monster mash is originally from 1962 and time warp was featured in the rock horror show back in 1973.

But I believe they may have both been re-released in the 80s

For me the song that kicked off the 80's was Depeche Mode's New life, one of my favourites though was Paul Young's wherever I lay my hat, in my mind it made Marvin Gaye's original look poor, Marvin was a complete legend, but Paul nailed it for me with this one

Hot dog, jumping frog, I love Lucy.

Hot-dog, jumping frog, I want cookie.

Hot dog, jumping frog, Amber Cookie.

Hot dog, Jonathon frost, I want cookie.

Hot dog, jumping frog, hard boiled cookie!

Hot dog, chocolate fudge, I want cookie

Hot dog, jumping frog - Albert Gerkin

Hot-dog, junk and fry, I want cookie!
