80s New Wave Candy Conversation Hearts

By | The Y! Music Playlist Blog – Tue, Feb 7, 2012 8:01 PM EST

Every year around Valentine's day I like to do a series of candy heart playlists. I just take songs with titles that would fit well on conversation candy hearts and put them into a playlist.  Last year, I did a heavy metal list and a Kiss list. This year I thought 80s new wave would be a good way to kick off the season.

If you came of age in the 80s, this may be a great playlist to reminisce with.

Now if I can only figure out how to get these manufactured for real.

Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds

Don't You Want Me - Human League

Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? - Culture Club

Take On Me - A-Ha

Johnny, Are You Queer? - Josie Cotton

Just Like Heaven - The Cure

Never Tear Us Apart - INXS

Perfect Kiss - New Order

Never Say Never - Romeo Void
