If it's a hit from the 1980s, no matter what the answer is, it will almost assuredly get stuck in my head.
(As I tell my students who love '80s Workout Week, "Unlike you all, I was actually born in the '80s.")

Interesting meta. I always found this song a little strange - didn't know it was a number 1 hit. And now it's stuck in my head.

Beamed up. Guessing that being in 8th grade when it came out helped here.

Beamed up! Definitely loved this song at the time (not a spoiler, I can say that about pretty much all of the #1 hits of the 80s).
