"Careless Whisper" by George Michael
I always liked that one.

A one-hour show, eh? Guess that would be enough to play a dozen songs. Avoiding the wa-a-ay overplayed top 10 hits of that year, here's my list of killer songs from '84:
01) "Tonight" - KOOL & THE GANG (#13)
02) "Stay the Night" - CHICAGO (#16)
03) "The Lucky One" - LAURA BRANIGAN (#20)
04) "Modern Day Delilah" - VAN STEPHENSON (#22)
05) "A Fine Fine Day" - TONY CAREY (#22)
06) "Runner" - MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND (#22)
07) "White Horse" - LAID BACK (#26)
08 )"Stay With Me Tonight" - JEFFREY OSBORNE (#30)
09) "Sugar Don't Bite" - SAM HARRIS (#36)
10) "Give Me Tonight" - SHANNON (#46)
11) "Wouldn't it Be Good" - NIK KERSHAW (#46)
12) "New Girl Now" - HONEYMOON SUITE (#57)
BTW, if you were doing this show on October 18, then why did you post your request for songs here on this board on the 20th? ???

Prince-Most of the Purple Rain album will work, Lets go Crazy is a mover.
Wham- Wake me up before you go- go.

A couple of the top of my head.

I'm a bit curious. The original message, posted on October 20, was requesting songs to play for a show on October 18...?
Ah well, play something from Valen Halen's 1984 album.

We're all working on the time-travel thing, so that won't be a problem. ;)
