Was listening to random music on YouTube when this came up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qitn6FRc0oc" data-time="


I've heard it before (of course), but this time, while listening to it, the thought popped into my head "You know, this sounds like one of the most 80s songs I can think of." Like, it's a song that is a pure distillation of everything the decade represented in terms of music, and feels like something that couldn't have come from any other time period. Aliens could find this song a thousand years from now in the ruins of human civilization, and accurately recreate the 80s from it.

Which led me to wonder, ARE there any other songs that are more quintessentially 80s? If so, what are they?

(The only thing coming to mind is literally everything Stan Bush wrote for the Transformers movie (and honestly that entire soundtrack in general), but I'm curious what other people might throw out there. Even people who may never have experienced the glory that was the Greatest of All Decades.
