I'd have to say "Beat It" is probably the best in terms of how iconic it is.
I think that's the song in "Back to the Future 2" when Marty enters the 1980s cafe (where an electronic menu features President Reagan arguing with Ayatollah Khomeini).
As for my favorite song on the list, it's probably "Africa."
I also agree that my least favorite is "Total Eclipse of the Heart." I remember having MTV on and I fell asleep with that song was on, and it was playing when I woke up. I remember thinking. "Ugh, that's the longest song ever ..."
Huh, the two big "continent" songs were from the same year! Much as I love Africa, I have to say Down Under wins here. Lots of good stuff here, the Dexy's, Police, MJ, even Lionel!
My two favorite songs from 1983, better than any one on the above list.
