A lot of people absolutely love that song. I never warmed up to it, and got so sick of hearing it .
If I had to try and pick just one 80s song as my favorite, I don't even think I could, there's just so many of them that I love.
I'll link to this though because I don't think many people know about it and I've always loved it and thought it was hilarious from the first time I heard it :

I could honestly never choose between Bizarre Love Triangle - New Order Firework - Siouxsie and the Banshees
and this MASTERPIECE 2012: The Queen Returns | |

This thread is about the 80s, but all his best work is in the 90s.

Are you talking about the 1480's or 280's Before Christ? You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

My personal favourite is Synchronicity 1 by Police.

Some people dislike Synchronicity 2 but watch the video and then you understand why Sting drove his band members almost mad by imagining himself as Devil after breaking up with Frances Tomelty.

Steve Copeland put his feet back on the ground by saying "You're simply an ***hole". Haven't seen Sting in such a demonic mood eversince.

Well, that makes sense. You're young enough that you'd actually have to seek out videos on the internet because no one plays them anymore.
FWIW, my favorite '80s song, my favorite song period:

Why do you find the video to be beautiful? | |

Like A Prayer was one of the best songs/videos from the 80's.
I have much too much of 80's favorites so cannot even put a stamp on one. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

Besides it being visual beautiful, it is a strong video against racism. 2012: The Queen Returns | |

I change my vote to this one too!, i don't think anyone can top "Don't Dream it's Over". We're here, might as well get into it. | |

This is just about as perfect as pop music got in the '80s. Unlike some big hits from that era I do not think that this song has aged at all.

I have it as #3 behind "Don't Dream It's Over" and "Burn Rubber (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)." "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Why is she getting sexual with a man supposed to be playing either Jesus or a saint?
No shame or dignity, damn hoochie. | |

I agree with you 100% because when I think of 80's pop this is it! This song summed up the 80's in my book. I'M NOT SHOUTING, JEEZ! | |

That album is fantatsic, as is the hurting & Seeds of love and they made some of the best songs of the 80's no doubt about it. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener
All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen Datdonkeydick- Asherfierce Gary Hunts Album Isn't That Good- Soulalive | |

That is a great song. I recently heard Shout again and it seemed like it was repeating the same thing over & over, but Everybody Wants... is still a great song My Legacy
