FabSwingers.com forum: Happy 80's tunes

I recently heard a song for the first time in years and instantly brought a smile to my face: Swing out Sister-Breakout.

I grew up in the 80's and became nostalgic for happier, simpler times.

Care to share any feel good 80's songs that get you smiling? For us who grew up in that time, does it make you nostalgic?

You Make My Dreams - Daryl Hall & John Oates.

And of course one of my favourite songs ever

Uptown Girl - Billy Joel

(I'm not old so they don't have that nostalgic quality for me as such)
