General Public and Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
I think my favorite song for that era and genre was Duran Duran's "Relax". (Unfortunately the Anne Rule book about Diane Downs sort of ruined Duran Duran for me.)
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.
'The Killer In Me'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Ooh, and "Johnny Are You Queer?" by ... crap, I can't remember. Off of the Valley Girl soundtrack.
Josie Cotton.
Anyone mention the Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star"? Or Berlin "Sex (I'm a...)" or "The Metro"? Or Split Enz "I Got You"?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Perhaps Spandau Ballet too.

“Not dead yet!”
Oh, much as I adore "She's a Beauty" if you're going to do The Tubes, it should be "Tip of My Tongue."
Oral sex ahoy!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Bronski Beat! "Smalltown Boy" is so apropos.
"Johnny Are You Queer?"
Also apropos.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I think you thinkoed The Reflex due to proximity to Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Humm. I think I'm beginning to like Malcolm Middleton very much.
I may be lying to myself about the Tenth Doctor Scottish accent likeability factor, but meh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Malcolm Middleton is an awesome name. Because your nickname could be "in the"....

I always confuse Malcolm Middleton (of "Arab Strap") with Ali Roberts (of "Appendix Out"). The common accent is the only way that makes a lick of sense.
