This one has been covered by lots of folks, but I think Danny O'Keefe had the original. I don't think he had alot of other hits...

Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues. Great country/blues tune...

Holy smokes, how could we forget "Barbie Girl"?

I was going to post Eels' "Novacaine for the Soul", but Wiki said they had some other hits that I don't remember. I think it was the video for this song that sucked me in.

Like if the only reason you know this song is because of the movie Trading Places:

I ******* love the synth solo in the middle. It sounds like Mega Man music.

That song has popped up on Songza like 42 times the past 3 days.

Is that the one where the video had Sandra Bernhardt boxing? Which one-hit wonder was that?

I was waiting for someone to post this one because I couldn't do it myself. I know they were kind of a one hit wonder in the US but they're pretty big overseas and have been going for about 30 years now with 11 albums. And they're also my favorite band. But I understand. :wink:
