That was the 90's

If your looking for an 80's cure song that matches the era, I'd say "One hundred years", "why can't I be you", "the drowning man", or "fasination street".

Modern English - I'll melt with you

I think that was early 80's (?)

 

[Leper Messiah]

GnR...I'm sorry, but all that nu pop crap just grates on my nerves.

Whitesnake. Not a bad song, but IMHO if you're going to pick rock, it's gotta be Welcome to the Jungle.

Ohh Mickey you're so fine....you're so fine you blow my mind!!! HEY MICKEY!!! HEY MICKEY!!!

I'm glad we can put that one behind us.....
From the same year: 1982

Ohh here she comes...watch out boy she'll chew you up...Ohh here she comes...she's a man eater!!!

Here's one:

David & David: Welcome to the Boomtown

(apologies for the formatting)

Miss Cristina drives a nine four four Satisfaction oozes from her pores She keeps rings on her fingers Marble on her floor Cocaine in her dresser Bars on her doors She keeps her back against the wall She keeps her back against the wall So I say, I say welcome Welcome to the boomtown Pick a habit, we got plenty to go around Welcome, welcome to the boomtown All that money makes such a succulent sound Welcome to the boomtown Handsome Kevin Got a little off track Took a year off of college And he never went back Now he smokes much too much Got a permanent hack Deals dope out of Denny`s Keeps a table in the back He always listens to low ground Always listens to low ground So I say, I say welcome Welcome to the boomtown Pick a habit, we got plenty to go around Welcome, welcome to the boomtown All that money makes such a succulent sound Welcome to the boomtown Well, the ambulance arrived too late I guess she didn`t want to wait So I say, I say welcome Welcome to the boomtown Pick a habit, we got plenty to go around Welcome, welcome to the boomtown All that money makes such a succulent sound Welcome to the boomtown Welcome to the boomtown Welcome to the boomtown

The soundtrack to Fast Times at Ridgemont High would do nicely.
