They'er actually American, I was surprised to find out. I'd always thought they were Aussies, for some reason.

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 it's a guy from Montreal called Murray Head.
There are plenty.. and some are not even real One Hits Wonders though since they might have had more hits elsewhere.
One on the top of my head is Nena and 99 Luft Baloon ;)

Actually, she had two other hits: 'Give Me Tonight' and 'Do You Wanna Get Away' Close enough, though. :)

Well there you go, I don't know the others though. Obviously she was a 'three hit wonder' instead

I think we need to start a new thread.

Speaking of which, has anyone noticed that theme the 2nd time the chorus is repeated in that song, and how it's similar to the synth theme during the chorus of TBTHOG? (Which, for that matter, is similiar to the one in the chorus of the Smiths' "There Is A Light..."?)
