              let's not get picky here - maybe they had some minor hit after that song but they meet the criteria. VH1 put them in the Top 10 one hit wonders of all time.

                    yes i did own that Men at Work cassette, i was always a sucker buying albums based on one Top 40 hit.

                    which just reminded of two more I actually bought

                    The Proclaimers - 'I'd Walk 500 Miles' something like that

                    and

                    The Lows - 'There She Goes' <---- i still like that song
                    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                        what was that movie about some Irish/Scottish bar band? Good movie by Alan Parker, can't remember the name, think that was a one hit wonder song too.

                            VH1 is out to lunch then. The song "The sun always shines on tV" by A-ha also made it huge. "Hunting high and low" also saw some decent air play as well, and there are a few other of their tunes that did as well. I'm hardly splitting hairs. One hit wonder means one hit.


                            Oh, you were talking to Brisk.... I agree with him, Men at work were not one hit wonders either.

                            What about Devo -- "Whip it"

                                who did 'Life In A Northern Town'? that sounds like a one hit wonder.

                                  The Commitments was a movie about a Dublin band.

                                          They were a cover band I believe. With songs like Mustang Sally

                                            i couldn't resist, went to Google - i haven't even heard of about a third of the songs they list as one hit wonders of the 80's.

A list of the greatest one hit wonders, songs that were great and you expected more from the band but nothing ever came. and maybe interview them and have music critics analyze why they couldn't take the next step in their careers.

                                                                Since the end of the 80s, the music industry only cares about putting out one hit and banking off of it. They don't promote or care about the rest of the tracks on an album, which are usually pure shit... but sometimes they are top 10 worthy.

                                                                They're just going for the fast buck and on to the next one hit wonder/image maker. Britney Spears really only had one hit... the rest were all forced upon us.

Simpson went on his drive in the white Bronco - about 3 people bought Hasselhoff's PPV show.
