Who’s your favorite one-hit wonder from the eighties? Let us know in the comments!
Is that Rick James producing that Eddie Murphy song!!
Ok, thanks question answered!!
Does anyone else want this woman narrator to STFU and let us hear the music?
Holy hell I haven't heard some of these since the 80s. Its the video flashbacks for me .. MTV was new, and you had to just watch all day to wait for your favorite artist to rock the TV.
I wouldn't have been caught dead listening to these i was more into the hard rock with no one hit wonders
too much talking!!!
I didn't forget
Lots of bands that are basically known for one song in the eighties. Timbuk 3, Zebra, Katrina And The Waves, The Vapors, Henry Lee Summer, Kim Carnes, Vixen, Wall Of Voodo, and many others that may have had other mild hits abroad but in America are generally known for one song, like A-ha, Survivor, Falco, Europe, Rick Astley, Young Fine Cannibals, Sinead O'Connor, Corey Hart, Boomtown Rats, Planet P., Wang Chung, Men Without Hats, Modern English, Madness, Thomas Dolby, Herbie Hancock, Human League, John Parr, Chris DeBurgh, White Lion, Enigma, Jackson Browne, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Billy Thorpe (not his work from the 60s and 70s, but Children Of The Sun from the 80s), Buggles, The Tubes, Gary Numan, etc. the list is endless.
These are all shit
Stacy Q had 2 hits, Two Of Hearts and We Connect
A-ha take on me?
you must Not know anything BOUT THE 80'S IF YOU CANT REMEMBER THESE SONGS !!!
FYI, I didn't Forget Any of these song and actually play them on a regular basis. Nothing will Ever be as good as the 80's (everything about the 80s)
terrible songs
Jack Wagner, "All I Need" 1984
Toni Basil, "Micky" 1982
1973 born I lived and breathed the 80’s music and still do to this day. Best of the Best only 80’s music ❤❤❤❤
Martika got three top ten hits in the UK, plus two more top 20 hits. Far from "one hit wonder".
WHAT!!!!????? You brought up the phone number of JENNY and forgot to say another iconic piece. We now use 555 numbers in movies because this band was sued so bad, that no real number could ever be used again.
Aaawwww thank you for bringing back Under the Milkyway!!!!! ???????????????????????????????????? LOVE ALL THESE SONGS 80s WERE AMAZING!!!!!!
i didn't forget they were awesome, I still listen 2 most of these today. On this list, my favorite is Too Shy. Also Toy Soldiers by Martika. Dark song, but a great one hit wonder
I miss MTV I mean the real Music television when it had music videos. The 80s were the best.
Was hoping for Rock Me Amadeus. ☺️
I LOVE ALL OF THE 80"S SONG.MY PLAY LIST IS ALL 80"S I GREW UP WITH.IN CLUDING BIG HAIR BANDS.
Aldo novas fantasy played in almost every skating rink in the 80s…good times
Gosh!!! Too much talking in this vid
We call Falco song What a load of Shit not Putting on the Ritz
No dejas escuchar las canciones
A One Hit Wonder is not defined as the career-boosting song of an artist. ????
Toni Basil can't be forgotten.
We never forgot, what the fuck you on about.
J Giles – Angel is a centerfold
80s music was so fun!!! Dance and dance! So theatrical and over the top.
Don’t need anyone blabbing, just do the countdown.
Always remember MOJO is a leftist channel that has repeated debunked leftist lies multiple times in the past.
3…2…1 poof!
Too much talk too little music.
Pity that from all the fantastic Italo Disco tracks of the 80's "Tarzan Boy" was chosen, there are so much out there that are so much better, but I
guess not many made it to the Billboard Hot 100 as the genre was much more popular over here (in Europe) than in the U.S., and still the true gems were very popular in discotheques and clubs but didn't appear in regular charts (or on "regular" TV programs like Top of the pops or Toppop), I do have to give you credit for finding one with a rather funny/strange/bizar clip.
I would say the landscape changed immensely from 1981 (post disco/punk) to, lets say 1987 or so (new wave, alternative, yet more rock). But a great decade of hits for sure. Thanks!
These all sucked. Good riddance.
Hey.. Eddie Murphy's "Boogie in the Butt" was more well known to me as a kid of the 80s
These are the songs that made me run from modern music and hide in the '70s.
One hit wonders are just that. One hit, and gone.
So many euro trash bands!
dexys midnight runners .. a 1 hit wonder ,,,,, really ????
The 80's music was the best ❤
80’s pop was as bad as weird clothing styles!!
"1989 was a great year for pop music "
Funny, most of us that lived it feel 1989 was the start of when pop music started going seriously downhill.
And Toy Soldiers is by far the worst song listed here. Hated it then, had zero feelings of nostalgia hearing it now.
