I think enough songs have been suggested so I'll suggest what the feel of music should be.

 There should be lots of cringe-factor.  But secretly everyone's going 'Oh, I love this song..." and singing every word.

 You can never have too much synthesiser.  And don't forget the power-ballad.  Channel film clips with lots of big teased hair, scantily clad women and pythons rolling around on cars and singing with your hand rolled into a ball and your eyes closed.  Your voice should be at the very edge of screeching.

 We need fluro for as far as the eye can see.  And lots of mismatched materials - leather, lace, chiffon, fishnet - if you can name it you should be wearing it. Someone with no colour sense what so ever should be employed as the costume person.

And don't forget it was also the age of break dancing (doing the robot as we speak) so scatter some cardboard on the floor. 

ROFL.  What a perfect description of an era. 

Question:  To what do you attribute your flawless typing:  the breakdancing or the big hair?

 Why thank you kind sir.  I had a misspent youth glued to the Aussie version of MTV (a program called Rage).  My breakdancing career (and subsequent solid gold dancer career) died a painful death when I smashed my face against the school playground during a mistimed reverse caterpillar.

And my flawless typing?  It's called, after 24 years, realising that proof reading actually works.  Who'da thought Mr Gill in year 5 was correct? 

Wow thanks for asking
"Rock the Sasbok" was a great song (not the correct spelling) but hopefully you know which song I'm talking about. And "You dropped a bomb on me" great two songs from the 80's "Relax" was really good too.  Wow the 80's were so good you could go on and on. 

 

BodyStep 48 has Heaven on fire good one if you have it!!
