I've been trying to identify all of the songs on Vh1's I Love the 80s. I've managed to identify most of them but a few have slipped through the cracks. Below are a playlist of videos with songs I can't Identify (Each video as time stamps to help sift through the videos). If you can identify any of the songs playing in the background of the video, please comment either here or on the video. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5af2iEjDCbTuzLo49h9rvnB0yyH9Hk47

In Part 4, at 0:06-0:22, the song sounds like a track that samples "Computer World" by Kraftwerk. It has the bass and percussion of "Computer World", but the lead synth has a different melody than the one "Computer World" has. I'm not really sure.

Cool idea for a thread.
There are several tracks that <i>sound</i> like something specific but seem altered from their original. Like one of the tracks playing over Weird Al in the first video. That <i>sounds</i> like "Whip It" by Devo, but it clearly isn't. I'm wondering if the producers didn't have several house tracks meant to evoke certain artists or songs but were different enough to avoid having to acquire the rights for them. If that's the case, it could be a pretty tough assignment figuring them all out.
Maybe that's not the case and I just can't come up with the names.

There are definitely a few tracks that are library pieces but most of them are actual songs. VH1 used to be able to use music pretty frivolously. They don't like to admit it but it's clear that they don't have the ability to use music like they used to (I Love the 2000s is living proof of that). Then Again I don't watch Vh1 or MTV anymore so...
