Thursday 13 - One Hit Wonders - 3/20/08

Thursday 13. Some of my favorite all-time one hit wonders. Some of these may have had more than one hit in Europe, Australia, or Zimbabwe, but only one big hit in the U.S. Some may have had other songs that charted but are remembered for only one huge song. These are in no particular order. Unless you are very young or very old you should recognize most of them. Enjoy!!

1) The Safety Dance – Men Without Hats
2) Chevy Van – Sammy Johns
3) God Bless the USA – Lee Greenwood
4) My Sharona – The Knack
5) Tainted Love – Soft Cell
6) Come On Eileen – Dexy’s Midnight Runners
7) Play That Funky Music – Wild Cherry
8) Keep Your Hands To Yourself – Georgia Satellites
9) Mary’s Prayer – Danny Wilson
10) Please Come To Boston – David Loggins
11) In the Summertime – Mungo Jerry
12) Walking in Memphis – Marc Cohn
