So far wolf's Thomas Dolby is the best choice. I have spent a great deal of time building the largest and most complete collection of 80's songs imaginable. I specialize in 80's one hit wonder bands in particular. If anything, I'm lacking in the big hair department a bit because I wasn't a huge fan of that. I was more of a mod/progressive-punk sort of guy.
It's incredibly hard for me to choose, but I'd have to say the song to me that really represents the 80's the most is Modern English - I'll melt with you. Although if we're allowed to have a list, I could jot down a 100 of so really great songs.

Okay, I'm going to confess something here. I'm usually pretty hard on pop music but I actually listened to and enjoyed... Men at Work's Business as Usual

it's ok griff, pop music becomes counter-cultural 20 years after it was pop culture. You're stance as a rebel against society is still intact.
