It's national One-Hit Wonder Day today. Here is my list of what I think are the BEST one-hit wonders of the 1980's, in no particular order:
- "I Melt With You" by Modern English
- "Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners
- "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls
- "Take on Me" by A-Ha
- "Mickey" by Toni Basil
- "867-5309 / Jenny" by Tommy Tutone
- "The Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats
- "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell
- "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc.
- "99 Luftballons" by Nena
- "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood
- "Our House" by Madness
- "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant
- "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell
- "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles
That's it! That's the list and it's final!
