Wang Chung
"Everybody Have Fun Tonight"

Released in 1986

Wang Chung is a new wave band from the 1980s. I'll never forget watching "Cheers" and seeing Frazier Crane talk about listening to a rock and roll station before heading to his bachelor party. "There was a passage in one of those tribal songs, that I feel, well, is the keynote of this evening: 'Everybody have fun tonight. Everybody Wang Chung tonight.'" That was a total 80s moment right there.
