Experience in the area
I have been ardently collecting music of all genres (except classical and heavy metal) for the past 25 years, in both vinyl and CD formats. I have a detailed knowledge of landmark UK indie labels such as Factory, 4AD, Disques du Crepuscule, etc. (and their respective releases by such bands as Joy Division, The Fall, and The Wolfgang Press), as well as most major pop acts. I'm also familiar with early '80s acts such as Gary Numan, OMD, The Human League, Seefeel, Cabaret Voltaire, Coil, Kraftwerk, Mouse on Mars, Brian Eno, Echo and the Bunnymen, Siouxsie/The Creatures, Wire, Talking Heads, The Specials, Public Image Ltd., English Beat, XTC, Japan/David Sylvian, Grace Jones, Devo, Thomas Dolby, New Order, The Damned, Dead Can Dance, Eurythmics, Big Audio Dynamite, The Cramps, Catherine Wheel, David Bowie, The Monochrome Set, etc.

Question

ANSWER: Gary Numan had a hit single called "Cars" that, I suppose, you could dance to if you tried hard enough.

QUESTION: who sang the song "STREET BEAT" 1980'S dance music?

Many Thanks,

Answer
If it was sung by a female, my guess is Toni Basil, best known for her hit “Mickey.” It’s on several hits compilations, including this one: http://tinyurl.com/2f6fyd.

If it was sung by a guy, then you are probably looking for The Deele.
