Best 80s songs

I am making a folder full of 80s songs. Like most of you I play music during poker, and have a folder dedicated to musicians and bands I like. I also have an 80s theme folder, with these songs:

Agent Orange - Living in Darkness
Baltimora - Tarzan Boy
C.W. McCall - Convoy
Cheap Trick - Surrender
Clash - Rock the Casbah
Clash - Tommy Gun
Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Europe - The Final Countdown
Jerry Reed - Eastbound and Down (Smokey & the Bandit)
Minor Threat - Minor Threat
Oak Ridge Boys - Elvira
Public Enemy - Fight The Power
Rick Springfield - 867-5309 Jenny
Run DMC - King of Rock
Styx - Mr. Roboto

What essential 80s classics do I need to add to this list? Obviously, I like pretty much all genres of music.

What do you think is the best 80s song?

I'm the King of ROCK
There is none HIGHER
Sucka MCs should call me SIRE
To burn my kingdom you must use FIRE
And I won't stop rocking til I retire!

Wasn't this early 90's? Didn't they make a Listerine commercial out of this song?

My favs from the 80's:
Rockit--Herbie Hancock
White Horse--Laid Back

Break dancing needs to make a comeback!
