Best Dance Songs of the 80s
Michael Jackson is so bad I could have wrote something better when I was 1. My dog died when this song came on he jumped out the car and off a bridge. R.I.P Jimmy we will never forget Jimmy and that Miley Cirus is better with the song wrecking ball.
Being a child of the 80's there were many great dance songs, but Smooth Criminal would have to been the best.
My favorite Michael Jackson song of all time. The anti gravity lean he does in the video was out of sight.
This is one of the best dance songs of all time. People will be dancing to this song 100 years from now!
This song is the bain of my existence, my hamster died while this song was on the radio. I believe it was the song that killed poor Dave, never forgotten but we shall forget Michael Jackson and this no good hamster-killing song.
I'm not a big Jackson fan but remember people this is the dance catagory... The song has to be a good song to dance to. Most songs on this list are not good dance songs.
Pretty equal to Smooth Criminal and Thriller... hard to decide this one... love them all...
Honestly, I could dance to all of his songs but I have this emotional attachment to this one and I could dance it all day. I know the choreography to a variety of his songs, but this is the first one I learned and has affected my life so much. - BillieJean777
DEFINITELY my favorite pop song from the 80s. Great beat, lyrics, and even music video. That keyboard and chorus will forever be burned into my brain.
Catchy, even the music video was nice.
Classic dance song! This one still holds up today. They still play this one in clubs and it still gets everyone out on the dancefloor.
Called dance song of the decade!
This is the most catchy song of the 80's..
Laugh out loud you suk fail!
For me... The best
Unlike the other songs on this list, this one is actually a dance song. Any publication worth its salt has this as No. 1.
Damn right, this song is the Magna Carta of Alternative Dance! The anthem of this little raver!
New Order bounced the 80's dance wave... got the boyz on the floor (rather than around it)
This one has that demon dance beat you know ya can't resist!
When it comes to dancing, nor Billie Jean nor Take on Me can compete with the ever-popular rhythm of Sweet Dreams.
Sweet dreams are made of these who am I to disagree.
I totally love this song!
This song is so amazing! RIP.
This should be number 1
I'm so surprise that Thriller is in this place of the list when all we know that this is the song of the century and there's no doubt about it!
there is no one in this planet that doesn't know the thriller dance... I mean I wasn't even born when it came out, but I know it very well.
Definitely a 80s big hit. Love her rhythm.
Another good song from the 80's.
Should be in the Top 3! Dance classic of the 80's
Definitely a classic, should be in Top 5!
A definite dance floor classic that still holds its own today.
