For me, one of the voices of the 80's was Paul Young
Wherever he laid his hat, that was his home (1983)

That song on its own, radio version, isn't a patch on how it was played at the Rose Bowl, the song qualifies as it was 84, this video is 88!

I am something of a New Romantic at heart.
And of course one does like to go to Vienna.
And the incomparable birdie song gets people out on the floor.

Despite all, you do have a good taste in music.
The Thriller album by Michael Jackson was huge in summer 1983

You never hear the English version of that song in the States. Only the German one. Which is weird.

Also two covers in that era worth a shout out. One because it was a great song (Tainted Love), and one for the scantily clad girls on Top of the Pops (Tight Fit):

A bit on info on the lyrics
In an interview, David Coverdale explained that initially the lyrics had "drifter" but as that was already used in different songs he decided to use "hobo" instead. However, the lyric was changed back to "drifter" in the re-recorded '87 version, reportedly to ensure that it would not be misheard as "homo".
Underrated early synth classic from Mute stable.
