Yeah.
Kind of adds a whole new meaning to "U can't touch that." I mean, you'd need a pair of tailors shears to find it.

NO No please don't say that
this song is my fave ballad of all time and should not be covered.
We had the " Beat the intro" DVD for Xmas and all I every play is 80's its my fave era for music (but then I think it is for anyone in there 30's)
There are to many to mention but a few are
All the smiths songs
all the wham songs
Our friend electric by Gary Newman
Pale shelter by tears for fears
sweet child of mine by guns and roses
can you feel it by Jackson 5 (might be 70's)
just can't get enough by depeche mode )and all there other hits)
I could go on

This song sprung to mind when I saw this thread... but I think my top 80s song has to be Kylie's I Should Be So Lucky as it embodies pop, camp, Stock/Aitken/Waterman and many memories for me all in one go.
Notbale mentions to other genres...
She Sells Sanctuary/Cult
Rapper's Delight/Sugarhill Gang
Running Up That Hill/Kate Bush
Somebody Else's Guy/Jocelyn Brown
I could write a fairly lengthy list,but just to name a few....
Like you,I think Zoom is a superb track,and another one I never tire of hearing is Shalamar-A Night To Remember.They were superb when they did that last year on Hit Me Baby One More Time,still sounded as fresh as ever.I could not believe that Shakin Stevens won the show over them.They were sheer class and he was totally crass.I also liked stuff like Adam And The Ants,Bad Manners,Ian Dury,Blondie and some stuff by Spandau Ballet.Chant Number One was my favourite one of theirs.
