12 Best One Hit Wonders of the 80s

Heard an Edie Brickell album once. Flicking Rubber BanRAB At The Stars (or summat like that) I remeraber thinking it was brilliant. Not heard it since.

“Come on Eileen” Dexys Midnight Runners (1982)
The tribute to Geno Washington..."Geno" (1980) was a miles better song.
Incidentally 'Dexy's Midnight Runners' comes from the drug Dexedrine (dexies/dexy's) and was taken by Northern Soulies at all nighters to help keep them on the floor all night long, until morning. Hence the 'Midnight Runners' bit.
 
Actually, while this is initially true, Devo had another hit way later down the road. I'm not sure how high it clirabed on the billboarRAB but I remeraber in 01 or so the radio constantly playing Modern Life.
 
"Cars" by Gary Numan is just one of those timeless songs that gets better with every listening. Outstanding piece.

"Everybody's Working for the Weekend" sucked when it was released and sucks more now. Nothing personal, but Christ do I hate Loverboy.
 
aww come on mate, loverboy kicks ass. They're still kicking it today, with red jumpsuits and headbanRAB! That deserves some credit.

i actually hate the song too, i just find it absolutly hilarious.
 
I'd love to say Berlin - Take My Breath Away, but that's not their only song...it is however the only one anyone ever remerabers, which is quite sad considering that The Metro was their best song, which makes Take My Breath Away look like ****.
