Rapture came out on Autoamerica in 1980. A blend of disco and rap that came from the 70's punk scene. It's a cool song and Debbie has charisma to burn.
Blondie deserves to be in the mix.

#69 on the list. Not sure what page on the thread.
Madonna's Like a Virgin single handedly drove sales of 80's sexy teenwear to unheard of heights, creating entirely new market segments at the local strip mall.

it's not a single song, it's the synth used in probably most of the posted songs:

I was captured by the spell of this Happy Rhodes song, mid-1980s:

Had an 80's dance party last Saturday. One person put this one high on the list. Father Figure came out in 1987.
Rather long list... so this may have been posted.

Yep, the movie is from 1984 and Falco's song from 1985.
I almost forgot about the movie, thanks for the reminder!
