Would you agree that no 1980's song...

sums up the sound of 80's music more than this one thing?

And that would be, brand new lover. By dead or alive.

Because for one thing... first of all  you need an example that is an obscure 80's hit song. So therefore it's a song you aint heard a million times.

So therefore you can listen to it without any preconceptions about it.

Just saying that's one of the reasons that i chose that song as an example.

Is it a really good song, no. But I think it sums up 80's music more than any one song.    ... at least that i can think of.
