DC Tom Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Has no one mentioned "Mickey" by Toni Basil yet? That's the prototype for one-hit wonders. That and "Beat It" by Michael Jackson.
Gugny Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I disagree with SDS on this one. i think the 80s were the decade of the one-hit-wonder. Example: he had way more than one hit.

Gugny Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I'm gonna go with a few off the top of my head: "There She Goes" by The Las "Escape" by Rupert Holmes "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin (which happens to be my favorite song of all time) "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Starr
Taro T Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Has no one mentioned "Mickey" by Toni Basil yet? That's the prototype for one-hit wonders. That and "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. Thought this thread was for the "best" 1 hit wonders, not the ones that make you want to drive a dull pencil through your eardrum.
Doc Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I'm gonna go with a few off the top of my head: "There She Goes" by The Las "Escape" by Rupert Holmes "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin (which happens to be my favorite song of all time) "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Starr "Take My Breath Away"? Turn in your man card. But great call on "Fade Into You." Was thinking of mentioning that one. However I don't think that qualifies as a "hit."
shrader Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Did Europe have anything other than the final countdown?
Gugny Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 "Take My Breath Away"? Turn in your man card. But great call on "Fade Into You." Was thinking of mentioning that one. However I don't think that qualifies as a "hit." Do you like pina coladas?
Doc Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Do you like pina coladas? No. I also don't like getting caught in the rain.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 he had way more than one hit. Name them, no google
USMCBillsFan Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM4okRvCg2g Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
snafu Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 This one popped in my head immediately, though it only reached number 4 in the US I thought of that one, as well. Also "Don't Worry Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin, And Kingsmen's "Louie Louie"
Gugny Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Name them, no google Never Surrender was my favorite of his. That's all I got
thebandit27 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I guess when I said it last page it didn't do it for you, huh?
DC Tom Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM4okRvCg2g Safety Dance - Men Without Hats I love that video. Some random lantern-jawed guy walking through a medieval field with Tyrion Lannister and a meth-head blonde.
Cereal Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Did The Kings have more than one hit? Also I liked someone's suggestion of Flagpole Sitta!
