Well, they should be fun songs for the car! And there should be a good mix of old and newish ("new" by 1989 standards, anyway). A few selections I might take with for singalongs:
"Karma Chameleon" - Boy George and Culture Club "If You Knew Susie (Like I Know Susie)" - Eddie Cantor "Wild Wild West" - The Escape club "Marrakesh Express" - Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young "Luck, Be a Lady" - Frank Sinatra "Back on the Chain Gang" - The Pretenders "Bad Reputation" - Joan Jett and the Black Hearts "Careless Whisper" - George Michael
And in the evenings, you need a few songs that're a little more chill, I think:
"Guinnevere" - Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young "500 Miles" - Peter, Paul, and Mary "Someone to Watch Over Me" - Ella Fitzgerald "Hold Me Now" - Thompson Twins "In Your Eyes" - Peter Gabriel "Time After Time" - Cyndi Lauper
Beyond that, I hope I'd tape some weird stuff off the WFMU of the time, but I wouldn't know what it'd be. :D
(Let's be honest, I'd probably bring five or six tapes, but this is a good enough start!)
