If you go on the vh1 website there should be the 80's countdown list. I printed it out a long time ago. I don't think i still have it. it's a great 80's list

We used 'living on a prayer' as our 'last dance' song....everyone went crazy and starting screaming the lyrics. it was a good time!

I hear you on the 80s music! I loveeeeee it and definitely want a ton played ay my wedding. Here are a few songs:

I Think We're Alone Now - Tiffany
Only in My Dreams - Debbie Gibson
Livin On A Prayer - Bon Jovi
Heaven is A Place on Earth - Belinda Carlisle
We Got the Beat - The Go-Go's
Walk Like An Egyptian - The Bangles
Material Girl - Madonna
Walking On Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves
I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston
Let's Go Crazy - Prince
Mickey - Toni Basil
We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield
Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
Don't Forget My Number - Milli Vanilli
The Right Stuff - New Kids on The Block
Two of Hearts - Stacey Q

And here are some songs which I think are technically early 90s, but on the border with the 80s:
Jump Around - House of Pain
Ice, Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice
U Can't Touch This - MC Hammer
Mama Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J

'The Promise' is one of my favorite songs ever! If it were juuuuust a little slower, I would have made it our first dance song.

These are a great 5 songs! I would add some Madonna ('Get Into the Groove' or 'Holiday' if we're sticking to the 80s), Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean', 'Come On Eileen' by Dexy's Midnight Runners for a sing-along, definitely some Go-Gos: 'Our Lips Are Sealed' or 'We got the Beat', and some Prince! Maybe '1999'?
