December 22, 200718 yr Of all the people on this site, you are the ONE person I absolutely knew would have seen that movie besides me! :lol: :thumb: The one hit: And one that should have been:

December 23, 200718 yr 96 Tears ~ Question Mark and the Mysterians My favorite,too..by the way,the Bass player was Mel Schacher who later played for Grand Funk Railroad!
December 23, 200718 yr "The Safety Dance" - Men Without Hats "Take on Me" - A-Ha (one of the best music videos of all time) "I Melt With You" - Modern English "Somebody's Watching Me" - Rockwell (with Michael Jackson provifing backup vocals) "In a Big Country" - Big Country "I Touch Myself" - The Divinyls "Rock Me Amadeus" - Falco "Bittersweet Symphony" - The Verve "Relax" - Frankie Goes to Hollywood "True " - Spandau Ballet "Turning Japanese" - The Vapors Is it a coincidence that so many of these were during the infancy of MTV?
December 23, 200718 yr #2 is always the first one that pops in my head. BTW, it's Dexy's Midnight Runners. I agree, this song pops up in my head all the time. It is a good ol' song.

Oooh, great list. I want to make a one hit wonder mix CD now.
December 23, 200718 yr A few more from that same "early MTV era": "Video Killed the Radio Star" - The Buggles. The first MTV video ever aired. "It's Raining Men" - The Weather Girls "Mickey" - Toni Basil "99 Red Balloons" - Nena "The Warrior" - Scandal "The Curly Shuffle" - Jump n The Saddle "She Blinded Me With Science" - Thomas Dolby "Key Largo" - Bertie Higgins "Tired of Toein' the Line" - Rocky Burdette "Whip It" - Devo And I had just about all of these as 45s. For those of you born after 1980, those were little round plastic discs that spun on something called a "turntable".
December 24, 200718 yr Looking Glass with Brandy (you're a fine girl). Surely someone mentioned this one already and I just overlooked it.
December 24, 200718 yr Wow. Lot of "one hit wonders" listed in this thread that weren't one hit wonders......................:sssh:
December 24, 200718 yr Wow. Lot of "one hit wonders" listed in this thread that weren't one hit wonders......................:sssh: Exactly, some of these bands had songs that were good, but not "pop" successes......
December 24, 200718 yr Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze his only hit single. By the way he was the opening act for that great great band the Monkees. "I can't belive that I wasted 1000's of kisses on you!" Great movie, great pretense, the one hit Oneders.
December 24, 200718 yr Looking Glass with Brandy (you're a fine girl). Surely someone mentioned this one already and I just overlooked it. That was a big hit in the summer of 1972. The reason I remember so well is that I had my first job that year (as a lifeguard), and it was played all the time.
