"New Toy" by Lene Lovich (that song just screams new wave)

Thank you. [:)]

To me these to songs defined the begining of New Wave:
Soft Cell - Tainted Love (1981)
Human League - Don't you Want Me (1981)

I know there are other songs that defined New Wave for others, but for me, these two songs ushered in the wave.
