(no, not that cameo from the 80's)

thanks for the overwhelming response to the my 3 songs question. the answer, which eluded all of you, was that each of those songs featured a cameo from a prominent artist. all 3 of those songs make my list of "top 5 cameos from the 80's"...

5. glass tiger, "don't forget me when i'm gone", featuring bryan adams- canadian superstar adams helped to make his fellow countrymen a flash in the 80's pan with this hit.
4. howard jones, "no one is to blame", featuring phil collins- collins produced the album too, and i believe played drums on this track as well.
3. rockwell, "somebody's watching me", featuring michael jackson- i can't think of another song in which michael does backing vocals for someone else (besides those awful duets with paul mccartney). according to wikipedia, jermaine appears on this song too.
2. michael jackson, "beat it", featuring eddie van halen- the legend goes that when eddie did his guitar solo for this song, the only compensation he asked for was dance lessons from MJ.
1. dire straits, "money for nothing", featuring sting- the quintessential 80's cameo, sting's only line in the song is probably the motto for 80's music in general.

any other nominations?
