i am having an arcade themed party for my 8year olds birthday this weekend and need to burn a disc (or throw it on the ipod) of arcade themed music.. i have buckner & garcia's stuff, but what else should i put out there??

the party will have adults too so i am keeping it mid-80s themed but would prefer mostly arcade stuff rather than just cindi lauper and wham

Tune in to Retro Arcade Radio on Live365 (www.live365.com or http://www.retroarcaderadio.com/) for even more ideas.

Ms. Pac Man (a song)
We Fell In Love at the Video Arcade
Space Invaders
Retrocade - Charlie Malone
Only Solutions (Journey, from the TRON soundtrack)

If you can put a computer or netbook in the room hooked up to an amp, run the channel - it's retro arcade as it comes.


Also, from iTunes or Amazon:

Anything from Men At Work

Loverboy (the group and the song)

Anything from Shannon (the whipcrack 80's cheesy wonder - "Let the Music Play" etc)

No Parking on the Dance Floor (Midnight Star)

Jackson Brown

Kiss

All Journey now that I think of it

Devo

Flock of Seagulls
