Ooooohhh...love it!!!

I'm watching VH-1 and darn there are some great ole songs that they are rolling through on their "One hit wonders of the 80's"....I didnt even know half of these were just one hit wonders.

Here are a couple:

Patrice Rushen - Forget me nots (what a FANTASTIC song)

Vixen - living on the edge of a broken heart (never heard of them lol)

Ziggy Marley - tomorrow people

Nick Kershaw - wouldn't it be good



Now see this is where I wish I were as good as WTF with the link thing because I'd insert the youtube clip for Patrice Rushen which is one of the most heavily sampled hits ever (well, according to VH-1 it is lol).

Patrice Rushen - Forget me Nots

If the link above worked I'm giving myself a big gold star on my forehead lol. (btw WTF...the bell boy shaking his ass right at the beginning made me think of you...and I have NO IDEA why lol).


There are loads of them!!. Admittedly, some of them are sheer...well crap, which is why they were one hit wonders, but hell, some are REALLY good.

Ziggy Marley and Julian Lennon never really stood a chance did they following in the footsteps of such famous fathers?

So what one hit wonder (any decade) do you really like?

Hands down, Rock Me Amadeus by Falco.

Camille,

Hilarious! I was watching the same thing. :)

Well my vote is that the best 80&#39;s group was "Frankie goes to Hollywood"
Do y&#39;all remember the two tribes video with Regan and Brezhnev?
And who can forget all the "Relax" t-shirts that people used to wear lol.

C

My favorite 80&#39;s music? How about the solo female singers Tiffany and Debbie Gibson? I think each came out with one cassette tape of about 8 different songs and I remember I used to love dancing to them at home in my smurfette pajamas! LOL!

Sitara Devi

I&#39;m sorry but I am going to have to resurrect this thread in light of my recent IPOD uploads:

The Jam - A town called Malice...absolutely MAGNIFICENT song

The Cult - She sells sanctuary...best cranked up in the car. LOVE IT!

Stephen Tin Tin Duffy - Kiss Me

Fun Boy 3 - Our Lips are sealed

Bananarama - Cruel Summer and who could forget the movie lol?

The Cure - Love Cats

Duran Duran - Rio

Good lord..I almost forgot about this brotherly duo who hit the big time in England lol...what a pair of pretty boys

Bros - When will I be famous?

Click the song title for the Youtube links....

C x

I&#39;m turning Japanese - The Vapors

Do you Compute? - Donnie Iris

I might like it better if we&#39;d slept together - Romeo Void

Shy to Shy - Caga Goo Goo

The last one really sucks as I remember it the others are actually pretty good.

I just love the stuff from the 80&#39;s! http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...s/HeadBang.gif
