one hit wonders

markem · 07-21-2010, 06:01 PM

Okay, we all know that we've bought albums/CDs/downloads based on a single song, but was that song a "one hit wonder" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-hit_wonder)?

So, what one hit wonders do you harbor in your, otherwise stellar, collection?

Frankie Goes to Hollywood-Relax
Modern English-I Melt with You

Oh I forgot, I've got Tarzan Boy on my MP3 player. Big hit from 1986. Without Googling it, can anyone name the band?
