Darn it, you're right. The sad thing is, I thought I'd checked its release date, too.
I'll try again.
The Pretenders - "Talk of the Town" (1981. ha!)
(except it's not that upbeat :/)

The Primitives - "Crash" (Official Video) (1988)

And for an excellent example of what song production must do, compare the fixed-up version of "Crash" above with this live performance below:
The Primitives - "Crash" (live)
I...I was disappointed by Tracy's singing. The vocals sounded so...so...wimpy and unenergetic. And not even quite in tune!

The Primitives are indie pop. Sorry!! E for Effort, Eh?
