I need a list of one hit wonders. Stuff that's terrible but enjoyable and probably from the 80's.

 

It doesn't even necessarily have to be one hit wonders, just music that's terrible but enjoyable.

http://en.wikipedia....e_United_States This might help.

 

Apparently Funky Town was a one hit wonder, ha.

"Tarzan Boy" just reminds me of that New Tricks episode, seeing as that song didn't seem to make it to the states.

I love Never Mind the Bollocks, but they only ever did one lp and a few eps.

Still great, but that's not really the criteria of a one hit wonder. 

I would also categorize zeus as a one hit wonder, even though I loved say us. Unless they plan on doing more albums in the future. 

Although, come to think of it, op might have meant songs, not records.

I didn't believe my dad when he told me that there was a version of Puttin On the Ritz that was popular in the 80's.

 

 

I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't believe it.

And it was very good in a way only the '80s could pull off.

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense, nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't, and contrary wise; What it is it wouldn't be and what it wouldn't be it would. You see?
