Poll: Best 80's One Hit Wonder
Here's several more I though of over the last few days:
Maybe my favourite "one hit wonder" song - Big Country: In A Big Country
Steve Forbert: Romeo's Tune
The Vapors: Turning Japanese (the rock band I was in when I lived in OKC used to play this song)
The Korgis: Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime (Supertramp soundalikes who disappeared as quickly as they appeared)
Bruce Cockburn: Wondering Where the Lions Are (Cockburn's music is hard to categorize, almost jazz/country or jazz/folk fusion, and I have a few of his albums. He's a great writer, but his music generally is not top 40 friendly, so it's sort of amazing he ever had a hit at all)
The Boomtown Rats: I Don't Like Mondays (technically, this song is from '79, but so is "Video Killed the Radio Star" so I'm throwing it in)
