They used to play "Another one bites the dust" by Queen at the skating rink I went to as a kid. Very fitting for a skating rink with everybody falling on their asses. 
Good times!!!

You and I have very similar tastes on what the '80s mean.
Thanks to you I went looking for some '80s music and can't believe all the songs I still know by just looking at the group names or titles. It's amazing how our young brains cataloged and stored all that crap. 
I didn't see anyone post a few of my favorite 80's tunes:
Naked Eyes - There's Always Something There To Remind Me
Hooters - And We Danced
Madness - Our House
Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days
Then there's always Dexy's Midnight Runner with Come On Eileen. It's just so over-played now that it kinda ruins the nostalgia of it.

Ok, thanks for all the suggestions, but somewhere along the way some folks didn't pay attention to the CHOOSE ONLY ONE SONG stipulation. I know all about some eighties songs and I too can pull up and copy and paste a huge list of classic eighties tunes (i already even own some good compilation CD's). I, however, am trying to make a CD of everyone's "ULTIMATE" song that they remember from the arcade.
If you could choose ONLY ONE SONG, what would it be?

Well, I didn't copy and paste a list. I actually took the time to go through all my 80s hits and give the ones I thought were monumental/stood the test of time. I removed all the fluff bubblegum pop bullshit as much as I could to provide quality songs. I couldn't pick one song out of my list. Sorry.
Reconsidering, if I had to pick one song that sums up the '80s, I'd pick Rock the Casbah by The Clash. An '80s compilation that omits that song is worthless and was created by someone who doesn't have a clue. That ought to be a gimme.
In a sense, your request for one ultimate song from each person is kind of silly. You can get any list from the '80s of the "greatest" tunes and you'll get the same thing. Instead, its the more obscure but awesome hits that you should be asking for. And by providing you a "list", the odds of you finding something you forgot about a long time ago but loved are greater. That's the search you ought to be conducting.
Perfect example from my list: Talk Talk and Godley & Cream. The songs I listed by these two bands/artists I had only recently discovered over the last year, long forgotten. I heard the songs in the '80s, didn't know the artist back then, and "re-found" them. I listed three awesome songs by these two artists that should be in '80s playlists. "Its My Life" by Talk Talk is the original that No Doubt covered.

Hey Man, wasn't trying to be a douche. Thanks for taking the time to put together that awesome list. Trust me, it won't go to waste.
My point is just that when each person picks only one song it makes it kinda special and "the best of the best". I can then title the CD the KLOV Ultimate Mix. That way, when your song plays I can think of you and imagine you floating shirtless on a cloud. Wait...what? Did I say that, I mean...uh, nevermind.

I'm with ya on that one! LOL Excellent long list of songs, though! Nice job, Corpious!
I'll throw in my suggestion that you can toss in the mix. See my sig, the name of the song is 'Caught In The Game'.
