Welcome back Bobcats! It’s that time of the year again. The first campus-wide dance is here. (80s Dance tonight!!). Here’s an 80s throwback playlist for you all to prepare for tonight’s dance:

1. Girls Just Want to Have Fun – Cyndi Lauper

It’s SATURDAY NIGHT! When the school days are done, Oh girls we wanna have fun!

2. Like a Virgin – Madonna

Thank you Madonna; you can definitely dance to the swanky beat and lyrics of this song!

3. I Want Candy – Bow Wow Wow

It’s not candy, but we do have pizza at the dance! 

4. Time After Time – Cyndi LauperOnce again,  we can’t really miss Cyndi Lauper’s song when we talk about 80’s playlist. 

5. Never Gonna Give You Up – Rick Astley   Don’t worry, you’re not getting ‘rick rolled’ when you listen to this song at the 80s dance.

6. We Didn’t Start the Fire – Billy Joel

If you listen to the lyrics of this song, you can learn all the historical events that happened in the 80s. 

Hope you all have a great time at the 80s dance!!!
