Top 10 Cheesiest Songs of the 1980s

The 1980s had lots of cheesy songs. Some ranging from okay to mediocre. I'll only be including songs from the 80s for this list. I'll be excluding 90s and 70s songs. To be included it doesn't necessarily have to be a one hit wonder.
The Top Ten
1 Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

I've just eaten extra mature cheddar that's less cheesy than this.

Finally at number one the spot it deserves!

Cheesy with both the lyrics and sound.

Never gonna let you down...

2 Hey Mickey - Toni Basil

Cheesy but not in a good way.

3 You Give Love a Bad Name - Bon Jovi

I like Bon Jovi but I'd be lying if I didn't say that lots of their songs are cheesy.

Jon is the best ever, still sexy today.

4 Don't Stop Believing - Journey

Again I like Journey but they're pretty cheesy.

Separate Ways is better.

5 Africa - Toto
6 Take On Me - a-ha A-ha is a Norwegian band formed in Oslo in 1982. The band was founded by Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Pål Waaktaar-Savoy.

Cheesy as hell.

Incredibly cheesy but tolerable.

9 Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
10 Hot for Teacher - Van Halen
The Contenders
11 Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi

It's cheesy but what glam metal song isn't a little bit cheesy?

14 Heartbreaker - Pat Benatar

It's fairly okay but definitely cheesy.
