80's music quiz (Name the 12 songs)

Devon

I do this for the lads at work regularly and thought it'd be a good idea to throw one up here and see if there's any interest.

I clip a few seconds out of 12 well known songs from the 80's and mix 'em together.

First one to get 'em all in the correct order wins full admin rights to the internet.

By any chance is no 2, Enola gay by OMD

shabbyroad

is 2 'No One Is To Blame' by Howard Jones (a long shot... I'm grasping at straws here)

Devon

It is a tough one so here's a clue.

For song 2, SOMEBODY so far on this thread and not the other one (in Rec) has correctly guessed the artist.

Aquos76

Prince Purple Rain

Devon

Not Prince.

shabbyroad

Janet Jackson - Nasty Boys ?

Devon

Nope. Artist has already been correctly identified but it's not Prince. Janet hadn't even been guessed.
