Best One-Hit Wonders?

[politicallefty]

When I think of one-hit wonders, I think mostly of the '80s, with maybe a few in the '90s. I looked around sites, like VH1's top 100 list and others. Some of the songs I like:

Blind Melon - No Rain
Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta
Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me) (yes, I like The Breakfast Club)
Ratt - Round and Round

BRTD might be right about some of the '80s bands, because I always thought Loverboy's Working for the Weekend was a one-hit wonder. I would have put it on the list, but apparently it doesn't meet the qualifications. I probably have a few more on my playlist, but I'm not searching right now.

I have never actually seen The Breakfast Club, but I still love that song.

"Alive and Kicking" does play occassionally on the radio, at least in this area, but indeed is dwarfed by "Don't You (Forget About Me)" in number of radio plays by far.

Although I don't know what you really like in terms of movies, I still do recommend it and I hope you'll like it.

Turn Up The Radio by Autograph (an early 80s hair metal guilty pleasure )

I love that one too. Even though I was born in 1987, I think the '80s hair bands have some of best music ever.

Fwiw, I did think of another ('80s, of course): Europe's The Final Countdown
