Breakfast Club - Right on Track (OK, this one is stretching things...a bit.)
The Cars - Drive
Chapterhouse - Pearl
Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be
Crash Test Dummies - Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm
Don Henley - Boys of Summer
Erasure - Blue Savannah
Feist - 1,2,3,4
Grace Jones - Slave to the Rhythm

Ian Dury & the Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick / I Wanna Be Straight
The KLF - What Time is Love?
Linda Ronstadt - You're No Good
Manhattan Transfer - Chanson D'Amour
Marvin Gaye - What's Going ON
pr0no for Pyros - Pets
Chuck E's in Love - Rickie Lee Jones
