707BillsFan Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) "Your Love" The Outfield Edited June 14, 2016 by Eric95403
Doc Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 "Your Love" The Outfield "Say it isn't so" was also a good song by them.
707BillsFan Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 "Say it isn't so" was also a good song by them. No one remembers THAT song though Ok, this one then... Take on Me / A-Ha
The Poojer Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 and another of my favorites from the 80's MTV era
Taro T Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Even though nobody ever plays Floyd's Brain Damage w/out following it w/ Eclipse; they're 2 separate songs. Just like This Beat Goes On & Switchin' to Glide are 2 songs that nearly always are played in succession.

Just like This Beat Goes On & Switchin' to Glide are 2 songs that nearly always are played in succession. Yes! Along with Queen's We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions. It brings my brains to a boil when the first is played in a random shuffle/playlist or Pandora and then succeeded by something else
BillsFanM.D. Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 maybe this belongs in the 'feel good song' thread... or the NBA thread... but this was a great early 'rap' song. Don't ask me if Mr. Blow had any other hits. I have no clue so I'm rolling with it here.

707BillsFan Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) a-ha is not a one hit wonder band You must be from Norway ... I can't remember any song but that one and I had that cassette. Apparently it's the only one "Rolling Stone" can remember too...it was ranked as their #1 one hit wonder song. Just looked up Billboard; Take on Me #1 in '85. Sun always Shines #20 - '86. That's it. So technically, they aren't a one hit wonder...they made the charts a whopping twice. My bad. Edited June 15, 2016 by Eric95403

This brings up a question I've been meaning to ask. What is a "hit"? A #1 song? Top-10? Top-20? Top-40?

Billboard Top 40 is iconic. On another note, there is no doubt this is a one hit wonder. Maybe a couple hits if you're lucky. "Afternoon Delight" Edited June 15, 2016 by Eric95403
BillsFanM.D. Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 "Somebody's watching me" - Rockwell That's a great song chorus. MJ made that tune. That's a classic one hit wonder with a sprinkle of nepotism from Rockwell's dad. Here's another one I liked...back in the day.
