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!
