Help me make a 1982 mix tape

I'm playing with a mixing program for the first time, and I need more up-beat (but not nec. dance, really) stuff from 1982. Or just stuff that sounds like it might as well be from 1982. So far I've got MJ (of course) and ABC from the former category, and Metro Area and Chromeo from the latter (I'm sure you can guess which tracks). What else?

"Someone Somewhere (In Summertime)" is great, but "Glittering Prize" is greater.
