Answer
Dear Larazen,

The first song is still from the 80s, 1986 to be exact, BAD BOY by MIAMI SOUND MACHINE from their 1985 album PRIMITIVE LOVE. That was before GLORIA ESTEFAN went solo in 1989.
The next song is NEW YORK, RIO, TOKYO by TRIO RIO. Off their self-titled debut album released in 1986, TRIO RIO is fronted by lead vocalist PETER FESSLER. Here's the lyrics of the two song:

BAD BOY / MIAMI SOUND MACHINE

(Bad boy, bad boy, bad boy, bad boy)

(Boys will be boys, bad boy, bad boy, boys will be boys, bad boy, bad boy)

Chorus:
(Boys will be boys) Always get so restless (bad boy, bad boy)
(Boys will be boys) Nothin' but trouble (bad boy, bad boy)
(Boys will be boys) If you're feelin' breathless (bad boy, bad boy)
(Boys will be boys) Nothin' but trouble (bad boy, bad boy)

Bad bad bad bad boy, you make me feel so good
You naughty bad bad bad bad boy, you make me feel so good - knew you would

The way you hold me tight, you get me so excited
You do me oh so right, my heart goes beat beat, beat beat, beat beat

Bad bad bad bad boy, you make me feel so good
I want you, bad bad bad bad boy, you make me feel so good - knew you would

(Instrumental break)

Repeat Chorus)

And when he drives me home, I feel safe at night
You call me on the phone, it goes ring ring ring ring-a-ring ring

(Boys will be boys, bad boy, bad boy, boys will be boys, bad boy, bad boy)

Repeat Chorus to fade)

NEW YORK, RIO, TOKYO / TRIO RIO

In New York - Rio - Tokyo -
When I watch you dancing
I begin to feel like all romancing

Groovin', movin', shakin'
All the time your hear that
sound of dancing.

In New York - Rio - Tokyo
Or any other place you see
You feel that dancing fantasy.
In New York - Rio - Tokyo
Or any other place around
That magical big city sound.

Now let's come together
get the groove allright and you'll feel better

Groovin', movin', shakin'
all the time you hear that sound of dancing.
In New York - Rio- Tokyo
...

When you dance close to me
when I dance close to you
when we are together then you'll say
that our love is here to stay.

When I watch you dancing
I begin to feel like all romancing
Groovin', movin', shakin'

All the time you hear
That sound of dancing.

In New York - Rio - Tokyo
...

When you dance close to me
When I dance close to you
When we are together then you'll say
That our love is here to stay.

Maraming salamat po!
