Before I started this blog, I posted about songs from old AT40s on Facebook, January-July 2017. I’ll be moving them here over time. This entry has been edited somewhat from the original.
This was a big, big favorite at the time of this countdown; I always liked the video, too. Took me a good while to suss out that they were “cool on craze.”
“Dance Hall Days” was the second release from their debut album Points on the Curve; it did third-best in terms of peak position of their five Top 40 tunes (#19 here, reaching #16—they made the top 10 twice). In terms of popularity/recognition now it almost certainly trails only that song that includes the band’s name in the lyrics. Do 80s stations play anything other than those two now?
The Music of My Life 
So I’m guessing the other one (which almost never gets played) was the theme to neo-noir To Live and Die in L.A.?

No, it was another movie song: “Hypnotize Me,” from Innerspace. “TLaDiLA” peaked at everyone’s favorite position, #41.
