I like the 24 hours from Tulsa song (though its not from the 80s ). My mum played a lot of Gene Pitney when I was young.
The song makes me laugh, because I always thought of it as a happy song........ but the dude who's singing is obviously a bit of an ass. I mean, he's almost home to the one he loves, and decides to treat himself to some cheap skank he meets at a cheaper motel.
Obviously men have matured a lot since those days
......Oh wait......
PS. Livin' On A Prayer is a good 80's song too.

I love so many 80's songs. I think the Police will always be my fav 80's band. Here are some of my favs. I can't rank them. It's like trying to pick your favorite kid.
The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
in august moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
wild boys fallen far from glory
reckless and so hungered on the razors edge you trail
because there's murder by the roadside in a sore afraid new world
they tried to break us, looks like they'll try again
wild boys never lose it
wild boys never chose this way
wild boys never close your eyes
wild boys always shine
you got sirens for a welcome there's bloodstain for your pain
and your telephone been ringing while you're dancing in the rain
wild boys wonder where is glory
where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell
and lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell
they tried to tame you looks like they'll try again
wild boys never lose it
wild boys never chose this way
wild boys never close your eyes
wild boys always shine
