OK, so [:I] we have this funny little tradition at work: after we pass a big bill (such as a budget) out of my committee we do a little dance to an instrumental. (Yes, the stuffy lawyer lets down her hair and dances, though the dance resembles the gopher twist from "Caddyshack.")
Now that I have a new boss we need a new song and I'm trying to make the shift from boomer stuff to something more Modern (capital M in the NW sense). My nominations so far:
"Think Pink," by the Fabulous Poodles
"One Step Beyond" by Madness.
Any other suggestions? I want to make a CD of candidates for my next staff meeting.

off the top of my head:
DNA - A Flock of Seagulls
The Beach - New Order
Tiger Tiger - Duran Duran (kind of slow to dance to, I suppose.)

How could I not include the Art of Noise!
Good suggestions, all. Must say, Pigbag does not ring a bell.

Or is it more like in Seinfeld where Elaine dances to EWF's Shining Star! [:D]

How 'bout something from Yello! 'Oh Yeah' , 'The Race' , 'Bostitch'
The Police 'Regatta De Blanc'
Or on a slightly more vocalized note: Cult Hero's 'I Dig You' (Yew dig mae?)
Or Moev's 'Crucify' (Good for a corporate lynch meeting[;)])
Finally: Not New Wave, but worthy of mention: Deodato's - 2001 Theme (Sprach Zarathustra)
