Here's what I got so far. . .
B-52s - Lava
XTC - This is Pop
The Monochrome Set - Ruling Class
Sparks - Angst in My Pants
Talking Heads - Girlfriend is Better
And that's it. I hate Oingo Boingo, so don't point me in their direction.

Tough to help one who hates Oingo Boingo, but maybe try some Wall of Voodoo, "Mexican Radio" being the easy choice

Here we go again. 'Air rock', 'records that are all about the vocal', 'quirk pop'. What the fucks does it all mean. You kids with your hippety hoppity and more kinds of metal than the periodic table are gaslighting poor old Admin, aren't you?
What makes pop – whatever that is – quirky, then? Silly voices? Unusual lyrical subjects? Silly instruments? Gasp - 'novelty records'?

Unusual lyrical subjects? Silly instruments? Gasp - 'novelty records'? Yeah, it's a bit ambiguous for literal thinkers like Ray.  Yelpy vocals, jagged rhythms and guitar parts, not typical pop lyrical themes. |

Crazy (or Cool) - Pylon
Janitor - Suburban Lawns
Potential Suicide (or Alien Boy) - The Wipers
Don't know if anything by Television fits - maybe "See No Evil?"

Edited the Wipers comment - Alien Boy probably better (though maybe they're not poppy enough in general?)
