Adam has a lot more to choose from in 1982, IMO. I won’t post the whole top 100, but there is an interesting mix of genres.
Tainted Love, Soft Cell
Open Arms, Journey (or any Journey song)
Young Turks, Rod Stewart
Kids In America, Kim Wilde
Would all be good choices for him, IMO. Bonus points if he picks a Flock of Seagulls song and does the Flock of Seagulls hair-do.
LOL
Seems like the gay dudes like to do 'Tainted Love'.
