Music Meme, Day 18

[ilanin]

Today's prompt is "a song from the year of your birth", which was rather tricky, because while there's quite a lot of 80s music which I like, I have no idea when any of it was released. OK, not quite true, I know that Do They Know It's Christmas? was a 1984 release because I've got one of those "the year of your birth" things so I know what the Christmas #1 was. Still, not quite what I was going for. Some time on Wikipedia: Caetgory: 1984 Singles lead me to a short list of Wake Me Up (Before You Go-Go), (because Rock and Roll dancing, mostly), Don't Go Back to Rockville (R.E.M. are probably my favourite band who I don't regularly think of when ask to list my favourite bands...), Radio Ga-Ga, and this, which is kind of creepier in the age of social media:
