Name that tune update

[cyrano]

You know the rules. First line is posted here, supply me with the band and song title for full points. Googling is rude, and cheaters never prosper. I expect most of these to be guessed, even without the theme.
Ready, Steady, Go!


1. Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Forever Young--Alphaville, Goth Hobbit

4. Hey, Jack, what's happening?
Oh, I don't know.
Well, uh, rumor around town says you were thinking about going down to the shore.
Bitchen Camaro--Dead Milkmen, lil m moses

7. I don't know when to start or when to stop, my luck's like a button--I can't stop pushing it
My head feels light, but I'm still in the dark.
Tenderness--General Public, pusifoot

9. I'm standing here on the ground; the sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all directions
Don't Change--INXS, pusifoot

A. Pretty soon now you know I gotta make a come back
And like the birds and the bees in the trees it's a sure fire smash

C. You cannot go against nature, because when you do go against nature, it's part of nature too.
Our little lives get complicated, it's a simple thing
No New Tale to Tell--Love & Rockets, Goth Hobbit

2. I know a guy who's tough but sweet--he's so fine he can't be beat
I Want Candy--Bow Wow Wow, Roisnoir

3. You say you stand by your man--tell me something I can't understand
Stand by Me--The Clash, Darth Snarky

5. I tried to discover a little something to make me sweeter
A Little Respect--Erasure, Scarywhitegirl

6. I saw your eyes, and you made me smile; for a little while I was falling in love
Space Age Love Song--Flock of Seagulls, Scarywhitegirl

8. Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin
Jump Around--House of Pain, Roisnoir

B. I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure
Walking on Sunshine--Katrina and the Waves, Droewyn

D. Hey you, don't watch that--watch this!
One Step Beyond--Madness, Scarywhitegirl

4. Bitchin' Camaro by The Dead Milkmen
5. Hardest Button to Button by The White Stripes??? except that doesn't go with your 80s theme.

And you are right two out of three. (: I am glad that I didn't go with #7's second, less well known, charter.

As usual, I suck.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Seriously? Not even the ones you were just late to the party on?

I didn't look too closely at them (since they'd already been ID'ed and stuff), but doing so now, I would've gotten B. :) (Maybe. Or it may be that only knowing what it is, I'm hearing it)

Man. I was hoping this one would have some winners in it.

I consider it my duty to humanity to turn as many earworms as possible into high quality earworms of exquisite taste.
