Beat it
I vote either:
Working for the Weekend: Loverboy
Paperlate: Genesis
No One Like Toy: Scorpions
Wait....What, those aren’t choices? In what world?
No One Like You, not Toy.....
Irene Cara Oh what a Feeling -Flashdance
WHAT? There’s even a question? Beat it, hands down!
(I do realize that beating anything with one’s hands down would be tricky...)
“Beat It” Michael Jackson
Flashdance. Never fails to turn a bad mood around.
“Beat It” may have been the more iconic song, but going on “what I’d rather hear today”, I’ll vote for: #3 1983 “Flashdance... What a Feeling” Irene Cara
I voted for What a Feeling and my DH again for Beat It.
