@Loyal - be happy with the partial credit. I respect the skilled smithing to try and make it work, but in the end, words have definitions and that's how language works.

Hey Dad, what were the 1980s like? Let me throw on the Empire Strikes Back on and I'll show you.
Wow Dad, what a perfect example of 1980's special effects. And that valley girl Princess Lea? Gag me with a spoon!

How about most iconic 80s movie theme song...

Don’t You Forget About Me by Simple Minds (The Breakfast Club) has to top that list, while Kenny Loggins is the undisputed King of the 80s theme song with I’m Alright (Caddyshack), Footloose (Footloose) and Danger Zone (Top Gun).

Others...

I Melt With You, Modern English (Valley Girl)
If You Leave, OMD (Pretty in Pink)
Eye of the Tiger, Survivor (Rocky 3)
Crazy for You, Madonna (Vision Quest)
Power of Love, Huey Lewis and the News (Back to the Future)
