Looks like Manwiches, tonite!

Split Enz, one hitters? Oh dear...

What about I See Red, One Step Ahead and True Colours? Nine albums and twenty odd tours as well. Then when they spilt, Judd went on to form the Swingers and made a one hit wonder with Counting the Beat. Hester and the Finns went on to form that other little known band, Crowded House..

This is the only one (as I recall) that broke the top 100 here in the States.

Like World Party . . . I loved - Private Revolution, but it never charted like Ship of Fools

Bruce Cockburn . . . Wonder Where the Lions Are hit, but not - If I had a Rocket Launcher.

And then there's the whole English Beat, General Public, Fine Young Cannibals incestuous thing . . .

I used to like the real eclectic shit like One Night in Bangkok by Murray Head, or Rock Me Amadeus by whoever did that one.

Take on Me- A-Ha
99 Luftballons- Nena
Come On Eilleen- forgot who did that one

ETA: oh yeah it was Dexy's Midnight Runners. And Falco was the Amadeus song. Holy crap the useless shit that bounces around in my skull.

Every now and then that Womack & Womack song pops up in my head (and usually on a radio station or tv not long after...lucky I don't believe in supernatural bullshit).

I think My Sharona has to be one of the all time OHWs. I can never not sing along and shake myself Winona-at-the-gas-station-style when that comes on..

Love this song. Can't remember if it was the 80's or 90's.

I like that song, too.

There are a few bands that only had one "hit" -- as far as charts -- but made some really good music that didn't garner so much radio or MTV play.

I like Zebra from the 80s -- kiss my ass too if you don't like their wonderful one-hit, Crash! -- "Who's Behind the Door".

I sometimes do that, but not this time.

The time has come to say fair's fair -- I'm sucking up to FAHQTOO for lumping her in the old broad's club with ramsey -- retribution.

Old broads club sounds horrible, like it's filled with battle axes, the kind with double chins & breasts down to their waist. I'm not joining!

You don't have to join the club, Duchess, but since your mustache and nipple hair are starting to show, the door's always open!

Just playing around -- with life spans being so long these days, 50 is hardly considered "old" by most adults.

Thanks... Whilst I'm an avid proponent of manscaping, I'm not usually in the habit of tidying up on the chest too much. The 'stache has been here a while now though..

And 50 isn't far away, but I'll be wheeling you old tarts around the retirement home garden..hah
