We made fun of it when it came out. We were no-nuthin ########s at the time - but....ah - still don't really like it much. Can't say why - s0 - I won't argue bout its inclusion.7. ”I Melt With You”- Modern English (1982)

IMO this is the quintessential song of the 1980s. It makes me think of all those John Hughes movies (even though it never appears in any of them) and of course Valley Girl as previously mentioned. Interesting that, as Anarchy99 noted in the other thread, it never achieved top 40 status. Like “Mexican Radio” it’s an MTV hit, except it’s far bigger than “Mexican Radio”. In fact I can’t think of another modern popular song that is so well known that failed to make the charts. Perhaps one of you can think of one.
