This episode is chock full of 80s music.  But, specifically about a) songs that reference The 80's and b) songs that are about RUNNING in/into/with the NIGHT.  I am of the opinion that these were both common themes in popular music in the 80's. 

Included are songs from the artists: Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Steel Breeze, Loverboy, New England, Styx, Killing Joke, Franke & The Knockouts, Lionel Ritchie, FM-84 w/Ollie Wride, UFO, Uriah Heep, Nick Gilder, Triumph, April Wine.
