In college, had early 80s mix that people already found kitschy in mid 80s
Jessie’s Girl/ Centerfold/ 867-5309/ Come On Eileen/ Safety Dance/ Our House/I Ran/ Tainted Love/Don’t You Want Me/ I Love Rock n Roll/ Jack & Diane.
Even by 85, people thought it was so “retro.”

Sweet Dreams/ 99 Luftballoons/ What I like about You/ Hungry Like the Wolf/True
Mind you, some of these songs are only 3 years old in 86. But people were already “ That’s so high school!”
We were very post-modern at Brown.
Creating instant nostalgia.

Too Shy/ Karma Chameleon/ Turning Japanese/ In a Big Country were all on early 80s mix. Maybe The Warrior. Maybe People are People. I wish All Night Long, but I feel it was mostly new wave. If you went to a Brown Psi party between 85 to 88 let me know what I’m missing.
I can’t believe I’ve hijacked my own wedding thread & pivoted to my early 80s mix. But Also:
White wedding
Rock the casbah
Goody two shoes
Down under
Wake me up before you go go
Whip it
Always something there to remind me
Poison arrow
Do I need to go find my box of cassettes

Silly Bryan. The big finish at any hour was always Total Eclipse of the Heart.
Others on my early 80s college mix:
Der Komissar
Saved by Zero
Kids in America
Putting on the Ritz
One Night in Bangkok
Cum on Feel the Noize
Just Got Lucky
Just can’t get enough.
