When break dancing was popular (early-mid 80s) I remember the song "Freakazoid" by Midnight Star being real big at the teen club I went to. Even their song "No Parking On The Dance Floor" was quite popular with the breakers. There were a lot more songs, these two just stick out in my mind.
You might try the songs from the Breakin' Soundtrack.

These are not necessarily 80's songs but these are BIG cuts for B-Boys:
"Apache"- Incredible Bongo Band
"It's Just Begun"- The Jimmy Castor Bunch"
"Scorpio"- Dennis Coffey
"Champ"- The Mowhawks
"Rock Creek Park"- The Blackbyrds
I'm not sure what format you are interested in but these are all available on a vinyl series called Ultimate Breaks and Beats.
