The drums at the end of "I think we're alone now" are my favourite memory of the 80s.
Well, the best one that doesn't involve Pernod and teenage girls.
:D

Good song, early 90's though i think.
although, maybe they didn't even chart. two good "hits" though. make that four good tits. :p
It's Immaterial - Driving Away From Home
Who did that really shite song "One Night In Bangkok"? Hadn't heard it in years then i heard it three times when I was in Italy. Fucking awful, like 99% of the 80's.

I think you are looking for Nu Shooz "I can't wait"
Tommy Tutone-Jenny Dexys Midnight Runners-Come On Eileen (I've heard they had a bunch of hits in the UK, bot not here) Devo-Whip it Tom Tom Club-Genius of Love Eddie Grant-Electric Avenue Nick Gilder-Hot Child in the City Kojagoogoo-Tooo Shy The Weather Girls-It's Raining Men Soft Cell-Tainted Love Ah-A- Take on Me Rockwell-Somebody's Watching Me
Some of these may have been more than one hit wonders outside the US, though.
Come On Eileen is probably my favorite one hit wonder.

Devo wasn't a one hit wonder in the US!
God.. These songs are sooo bad ;)
A friend of mine in Warwick had a new wave covers cd... and my favorite 80s one hit wonder came on. He had never heard the song before..maybe it didn't ever chart over there..
anyway
Modern English - I Melt with You
That song is still used constantly in commercials and things..
Traction - Ampersand Another Silent Day - The Adventures I Beg Your Pardon - Kon Kan
No - soft cell and devo were not one hit wonders. Not just for outside the US but also for within the US underground.
