Can you help me identify these three songs?

From easiest to hardest:

The consummate “breakdancing” song, probably from the 80’s. Starts with old school scratches and then synth goes “da DUN, da DUN, da DA DA DA… dit da-da da” over drum kit. Bonus Question: Why is this so closely identified with breakdancing?

Second two I heard on KCRW yesterday and loved them.

One was a breathy woman singing, thick beats, with lyrics “my heart goes ‘boom’ my breath ‘shaka shaka’”.

The other was a new indie rock song… something about “heart” in the chorus. I remember a lot of the verses had internal rhymes in them…what was great was some really interesting duet harmonies between the male and female singers, and the chorus had some percussive bass drum accentuating the rhythm.
