For different places, I can say it will differ. Like Eiffel 65, cause I have heard a few more hits from them besides Blue (Da Ba Dee).

For me, I never really like any one hit wonders currently.

Yeah I don't think Devo was really a one hit wonder either.

Some of these songs are cracking me up. It seem likes I know and really liked almost all of them (with the exception of Blue... I never liked that one

)

We were watching old video tape the other day and my then 3 yr old daughter (now 12) was singing "We had joy we had fun we had season's in the sun"

It was too darn cute. I like that one too

Why is it that "Tainted Love" came to mind for so many people? That's one of the first ones that popped into my head as well!

Y'all have already listed many of the ones I thought of...

"Perfect Way" by Scritti Politti
"It's My Life" by Talk Talk
"Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners
"Breakfast At Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something

Oh, and Sinclair, Swing Out Sister is awesome! They had a couple of hits, but "Breakout" was what definitely put them on the map.

That would sound so cute when a child sings it.

It's strange to see the likes of Soft Cell, Scritti Politti, Talk Talk and Dexy's listed here as they all had several hits in the UK.

lobeck · 10-06-2003, 11:13 AM

...and I just read somwhere that Dexy's was coming out (or had just come out) with a new CD after all this time...
