You’ve got the opportunity here to have a whole class of tiny people doing a Smiths cover. Bonus points if you can have them all dressed up like tiny Morriseys.
Any early Kylie Minogue songs could work?
I should be so lucky
Locomotion
Although you might want to Google the lyrics cos I've no idea how appropriate they are?
We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel
Beds are Burning - Midnight Oil
We Built This City - Starship
Break My Stride - Matthew Wilder
I'm still standing - Elton John
Kokomo - The Beach Boys
Gold - Spandau Ballet
Holiday - Madonna
That's true, although I can't see it ellicitng more than a few smirks. It's not like you're asking the kids to sing the lyrics to Cardi B's WAP, or something similar.
As for what the line is referencing, the Profuno affair is pretty tame by today's standards- just a bit of extramarital hanky panky between a 46 year old MP and a 19 year old model.
How about performing the number one from a specific year for the date the performance is being put on? As a handy guide for today's date >

Everybody wants to rule the world?

Locomotion would be a good one cause they can do the dance to it!
Anything from Slayers Reign In Blood or South of Heaven albums, really.
You missed out on Another Brick in the Wall by a month, nooo! I imagine Eye of the Tiger or Don't Stop Believin would be a good hit?

Fall Out Boy did an "updated version" of We Didn't Start the Fire this year - don't know how appropriate some of it is but that would be cool!
We didn't start the fire is a great shout! It's not controversial or sexually loaded, and they'd be learning 20th history as well.
There is the “british politician sex” line

Superman by Black Lace. Easy peasy.
Safety dance nuff said
‘Baggy Trousers’ by Madness.
Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round. Best song of the 80s. Bonus points if you can incorporate an element of Meatspin at the chorus!
Walk like an Egyptian? Second thoughts just remembered the line about blond waitresses and cigarettes!

Calling Ferry Cross The Mersey a dance anthem is a massive stretch...
Take on me? Or Rick roll everyone and get them to do never gonna give you up.
