(hopefully) fun music search...

I need a popular (or fairly popular) 80's pop song about being totally hot for the object of your affection.

Everything I seem to find that's even remotely close is either a ballad (or what passed for a ballad in the 80s) or a downer. I don't want a downer.

"O, Mickey" is very poppy and very upbeat and all about how "what a pity you don't understand, You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand. Oh Mickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand. . . ." Very 80s!

The first two songs that popped into my head were "Let's Hear It For the Boy" and "You Make My Dreams."

Something by the Thompson Twins? Hold me now, You take me up, Lay your hands on me? Or FIne young Cannibals - she drives me crazy (asuming the object of the affection was female, of course). Take on Me by Ah-ha?

Obsession by Animotion?
