Steph, we had "Way You Look Tonight". Frank's version.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.
London Calling, Pretenders, Remain In Light, Dirty Mind, Off the Wall, X's Los Angeles....good year.
joe--awesome! That's very helpful. Thanks!
Tina, David will start dancing around his office if you pick something from the New York Dolls In Too Much Too Soon.
If I were to be schmoopy (god forbid), it'd be "True Companion," by Marc Cohn.
Sweet song -- my sister-in-law and her husband had that. (I wasnt there, but it came up when we were planning.)
Interesting lists, Joe.
The critics loved "He's So Shy"? Who knew?

Fortunately, my birth year produced a Ray Charles classic.
I found a couple of good ones, just have to choose between the finalists. One possiblity is the Mellencamp version of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." I did write a filk to it once.
Coolest first dance at a wedding song I've ever heard was "Drive" by The Cars. Because - wtf? how is that a wedding song?
Ours was "The Winter Long" by the Strawbs, as performed by a polka band.
Oh my dog. Aimee and I had the same wedding song.
Also, if you're gonna go with the Fame soundtrack for 1980, you could always go with "Red Light" and recall the joys of Leroy being discovered while afro-chick fumed.
Btw, the Peter Gabriel album from 1980 is his third (and third called Peter Gabriel), the one where his face is melting. It has "Games Without Frontiers", "I Don't Remember" and "Biko".
