Talking Heads’ "And She Was" merges surreal LSD-inspired storytelling with upbeat pop, highlighted by whimsical details like a Yoo-Hoo factory backdrop. Pet Shop Boys’ cover of "Always on My Mind" transforms Elvis sentimentality into a pulsating synth anthem, taking risks with its flashy reinterpretation. Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" blends catchy grooves with horror theatrics, immortalized by Vincent Price’s spoken-word interlude and the iconic music video.
Stray Cats' "Rock This Town" reinvigorates rockabilly with an energetic modern twist, while Pop Will Eat Itself’s "Can U Dig It?" crafts a frenetic, sample-driven love letter to pop culture. The Bangles’ "Manic Monday," penned by Prince, perfectly encapsulates workweek chaos with relatable lyrics and polished harmonies. Blancmange’s "Waves," though lushly arranged, trades their usual snappy synth pop for subdued orchestration, leaving listeners divided.
Taylor Dayne’s "Don’t Rush Me" pairs assertive patience with glossy production, landing it a No. 2 Billboard spot, just behind Phil Collins's "Two Hearts," while Pat Benatar’s "Love Is a Battlefield" redefined her sound with drum machines, topping U.S. and Australian charts. Meanwhile, The Bangles’ "Eternal Flame" captivated listeners with its sparse arrangement and vocal focus, claiming No. 1 spots worldwide.
Meat Loaf and Cher’s dynamic "Dead Ringer for Love" brought raw energy and theatrical flair, landing at No. 5 in the UK. Roy Orbison’s late-career gem "You Got It" blended timeless vocals with modern songwriting, peaking at No. 9 Billboard. Madness’s "It Must Be Love" balanced whimsy and sincerity for enduring charm, while T’Pau’s emotive "Valentine" showcased vocal intensity, reaching the UK top 10.
Shalamar’s "Right In The Socket" grooves through disco-funk vibes, powered by charismatic vocals and Leon Sylvers III's vibrant production, while Luther Vandross’s "She Won’t Talk to Me" showcases silky frustration over late-’80s R&B finesse. Sheryl Lee Ralph's "In the Evening" captures '80s dancefloor liberation, contrasting starkly with the apocalyptic satire of Nena's "99 Red Balloons." Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself" blends punk grit with reflective defiance, and The Bangles’ electrifying "Hazy Shade of Winter" amplifies Simon & Garfunkel’s introspection into intense rock anthems. Meanwhile, AC/DC heats things up with the explosive energy of "Heatseeker," delivering riffs and theatrics that epitomize their hard rock swagger.
Mental As Anything’s playful “He’s Just No Good for You” brings witty humor wrapped in polished pop-rock, while Madness’s ska-tinged “My Girl” pairs quirky storytelling with sharp rhythms. U2’s “New Year’s Day” balances icy piano riffs with political undercurrents, and Europe’s iconic “The Final Countdown” blasts interstellar escapism through dramatic synths. The Bangles’ “Walking Down Your Street” offers Californian sparkle with jangly guitars, and Deep Purple’s “Perfect Strangers” is a restrained yet powerful reunion track. Cameo’s groovy “Skin I’m In” explores identity through late-'70s funk, and Tanita Tikaram’s “Cathedral Song” keeps it hauntingly simple with introspective folk-pop charm. Each track reflects distinct moments in their artists' evolving styles.
