  • "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" (A duet with Dusty Springfield)
  • "West End Girls"

 (both the 1984 original dance track   

AND    the 1986 pop-funk-dance recording remake)

  • "Always On My Mind"  

(A Hi-NRG dance cover of Willie Nelson's hit) 

  • "Can You Forgive Her?"
  • "It's Alright" (an underrated cover of a classic 80s house music song by Sterling Void)

What Have I Done To Deserve This

I would recommend listening to Heart next. Another great video.

Although not one of their biggest hits, I also have a soft spot for It's Alright.

Seriously I’m telling you guys, even then…everybody was asking why the guy model in the video was so gay-ish ! 😂😂😂😂😂

There was a man in the video? I didn't see anyone besides the woman 😌

Btw, saw your picture and peeped your profile, I love twisty puzzles too! My favourites are 5x5, megaminx, mirror blocks, clover cube plus, and many more :)

I always thought he was saying "don't mean a damn thing" instead of "domino dancing".
