EPIC REQUEST
Okay--here's the story-
For every occasion, I try to make my girlfriend a theme mix of love and love related songs. Her birthday's coming up and I'm trying to make her a mix of love songs exclusively from the 80s. Seeing as how I am a huge 80s music buff, however, this is not so simple--this has turned into a massive, potentially legendary mix. Unfortunately, I do not own much of my beloved 80s music on anything other than cassette tape (and I also had about 400 of my CDs stolen last year, so my library is considerably smaller than it once was).
Anyway, I've put together every 80s love song I can think of.
I am looking for two things:
1. Suggestions for more songs that I haven't heard of/may have forgotten, regardless of how shamelessly dated or cheesy and
2. if you have links to download any of the songs you suggest and/or any of the songs I have listed but do not have, it would be GREATLY appreciated as many of these songs are rare and unavailable to purchase as a single MP3 (meaning I would have to go out and buy all of the corresponding albums, which I certainly don't have the money for).
Here is a list of the songs I'm hoping to put on the mix:
SONGS I ALREADY HAVE:

queen - body language or I need your loving tonight or crazy little thing called love or play the game or its a hard life
If you see a "/" that was just my way of saying "or"
if you see a question mark after a band name, it means I am unsure of what (if any) song to use from that band/artist
Anyway, in return, I will post the mix and any other 80s music I come across in my attempts to throw this thing together, including stuff from other communities and my own collection.
Thanks a million to anyone and everyone who's willing to help a guy get brownie points with the ladyfriend.
