Alphaville - "Forever Young"

Episodes of One Tree Hill, Parks & Recreation, and 30 Rock have all featured Alphaville's "Forever Young", yet many will quickly recall the high school dance scene in Napoleon Dynamite when they hear this song.  Despite being released three separate times, the song never once cracked the Top 40.

Huey Lewis & Gwyneth Paltrow - "Cruisin"

Give Huey Lewis credit.  For an artist whose career peaked in 1984, Huey hasn't slowed down.  He's well into his 60s and continues to tour, perform, and stay relevant in an era when many other '80s bands are now relegated to playing small street fests and county fairs.  Lewis opened the 21st Century starring and performing in the film Duets.  He found an unlikely singing partner in Gwyneth Paltrow and managed to score a #1 Adult Contemporary hit with a remake of Smokey Robinson's "Cruisin".  Since then, Huey has turned up on Just Shoot Me, One Tree Hill, and The King of Queens.
