80s Music

What are the best dance songs from the period best known for mullets, jelly bands, and jean jackets? To answer that question, let&#39;s rank the best &#39;80s dance songs that truly defined the decade and inspired all of the dance music that followed in the &#39;90s and beyond.

&quot;Everybody Have Fun Tonight&quot; by Wang Chung is one of those songs that doesn&#39;t just earworm into your brain for hours, it&#39;s something you can move to! The single is one of the best known songs the group released, and a great&nbsp;place to start when ranking the best dance&nbsp;songs from the &#39;80s. Salt-N-Pepa helped define the generation for dancers across the world with &quot;Push It,&quot; but you don&#39;t have to look much further than the King of Pop&#39;s incredibly popular classic &quot;Beat It,&quot; which helped launch Michael Jackson&#39;s solo career. Other popular hits from the decade that just force a listener to move include Madonna&#39;s &quot;Into the Groove,&quot; Men Without Hats&#39; &quot;The Safety Dance,&quot; and Whitney Houston&#39;s &quot;I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me).&quot;

Is there anything better than an&nbsp;&#39;80s song with saxophone? For this list let&#39;s rank the best saxophone songs of the &#39;80s, from smooth jazz hits to pop singles.

Remember the 1984 hit &quot;Smooth Operator&quot; by Sade? The lyrics tell the story of a slick, jet-setting man who may or may not be a pimp.&nbsp;What about &quot;Who Can It Be Now&quot; by Australian rockers Men at Work? The origin to the lyrics are actually slightly frightening, as lead singer Colin Hay used to live next door to a drug dealer whose clients would often knock on Hay&#39;s door by mistake. Another great &#39;80s sax song is of course &quot;Careless Whisper&quot; by George Michael, where the saxophone is literally the best part of the track.

What&#39;s your favorite song from the 1980s that features a saxophone part? Vote up your favorites below, and add your favorite saxy songs to the list if they&#39;re not already here!&nbsp;
