    This might be another UK only one ... but I don't think so.

      Good, I hate that song...apparently it was released in South Africa in 1989 according to Discogs.
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

                You said iconic and 80's, you didn't say anything about quality

                  By "iconic" song I mean one that is incredibly, unmistakably 1980s -- Johnny's listing all his crushes with pretty non-descript efforts.

                  Who the &^%# is Jennifer Rush?

                        Might not be iconic to many in the pen, but it's from the GOAT gangsta rap album so it can't be ignored. NSFW

                        NWA - Straight Outta Compton (1988)

                          That was one of the biggest hits of the 80's ... everywhere except the USA it seems (and Jennifer Rush was American)

                                So we're posting "good" songs from the 80's not necessarily "iconic" songs.
