The Goonies R Good Enough by Cyndi Lauper should be on the list!  And maybe Day-O from Beetlejuice.  Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne's World?  (Are we only including songs made FOR the movie or just notably used in it?)

  Cyndi Lauper would have been my choice.  I’ve got a real thing for her stuff.

Majority on this list were made for the movie, although a few were just notably featured. As I mentioned before, this thread was not intended to be a comprehensive cataloguing, so there's no point to nominating additional songs unless those songs are in your top 3.

Vin Scelsa's on the radio Ramones are hangin'
Out in Kokomo Roger Corman's on a talk show
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King you know

But it's not my place But It's not my place

• Power of Love
• Purple Rain
• Other (fuck, I dunno... I Can Dream About You from Streets of Fire or Flashdance What a Feeling or something)

The fact that TWO different commercials during the Super Bowl this year used 'Flashdance What a Feeling' just confirms that it should have been on the list over Maniac

I voted Ghostbusters. So freakin’ iconic!

I would like to also suggest this:

(edit: just saw wongojack’s response; Pretty Woman song was absolutely classic retro and it fit the movie perfectly)
