One night in Bangkok by Murray Head. He had a single in 1972, then 1984. I guess he's about due for another now.

Almost forgot BOYS by Unit 3 From Venus.

Another good one is Friends of Mr. Cairo by Jon and Vangelis. Not really new wave but got lots of airplay on early KROQ.

<br>O Superman by Laurie Anderson. Oddly enough, it was a major hit in the UK. I think it hit #2.

"The Dreaming" - Kate Bush

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/k/kate-bush/77281.html

Kinda creepy, but I really like it, particularily with the way her vocals are altered and treated throughout the song.
