Mine is simple: It's either

Our House (forgot the band)....cdnow....Madness ???
Come On Eileen --Dexys Midnight Runners
Peter Schilling--Major Tom
 
Oh man. So...many...one...hit...wonders to choose from. I'll go with the first one that came to mind:

Kajagoogoo - Too Shy


 
Depeche Mode was no one-hit-wonder

Now A-Ha, there's someone who never made anything else worthwhile...and their song Take on Me is still so catchy
 
Devo - Whip It
Talking Heads - Days Go By (or whatever its called)

hehe.. all of this music was before my time... but vh1 and their stupid 80's specials... Hey! Theres not much to watch on tv on a saturday afternoon! 🙂
 
One Night in Bangkok - Murray Head

Is that the song from "Chess"??

My favorite is A-Ha, take on me. I also like "Forever Young" by Alphaville, but they had a couple other decent songs as well.
 
Come On Eileen
Dexy's Midnight Runners 1983
  • Poor old Johnny Ray
    Sounded sad upon the radio
    He moved a million hearts in mono
    Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them
    Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
    Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
    And we can sing just like our fathers

    Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)
    At this moment, you mean everything
    With you in that dress my thoughts I confess
    Verge on dirty
    Ah come on Eileen

    These people round here wear beaten down eyes
    Sunk in smoke dried faces
    They're so resigned to what their fate is
    But not us, no not us
    We are far too young and clever
    Eileen I'll sing this tune forever

    Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means)
    Ah come on, let's take off everything
    That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
    Ah come on Eileen.
 
Lunatic Fringe - Red Rider
Fantasy - Aldo Nova
Twilight Zone - Golden Earring (I guess they're 2 hit if you count Radar Love from the 70's)
Der Kommissar - After the Fire - Falco
 


<< Talking Heads - Days Go By (or whatever its called) >>


It's called 'Once in a Lifetime' 🙂
