Ten-year-old me would just sit there running away from ghosts and belting out an off-key version of this song. Every time I wanted to play Pac Man, this song would start playing. I remember it was actually the theme song for the Namco series game on the PlayStation 2. There are very few songs that just scream "party all night long and into the next morning" like "Working for the Weekend." The overall sound of this song is also so very nostalgic. This is also one of my favorite '80s songs for the sheer fact that it's so easy to follow along with, and the lyrics are relatable-sometimes, we only want to use someone's love for one night. When it came on, everyone automatically got on the dancefloor and just started jamming out. I especially remember listening to this song at my sweet 16. It's as if "Josie's on a vacation far away" is ingrained into the brains of everyone at birth. I have yet to go to any sporting event, party, or simply a casual get-together where the people in attendance don't automatically start screaming the opening lyrics of this song. Maybe wear a helmet, in case things go south. Just be careful if you're going to try and pull off the signature Dirty Dancing lift. So, grab your karaoke mics or hairbrushes-it's time to sing your heart out, and maybe dance around a little bit, too.

It's full of songs to either sing along with in the shower while you've got your Ferris Bueller shampoo mohawk going on, or to jam out to with friends and family at a totally radical party. However, if you don't have a playlist going, I've provided you with my own '80s singalong playlist below. If you're anything like me, you've got a list of '80s songs that you love to jam out to. Whether it's because your parents made you listen to it, or you even lived through the '80s yourself, you probably have some sort of relationship with songs from that time. By Lily Doolin Despite the 1980s being in the past for almost 40 years now, nostalgia for this decade of legwarmers, Lost Boys, and Live Aid is still going strong.
