    That I concede!

    Fiction Factory's "Feels Like Heaven" from the 80s was a catchy one, but the Vapors is the best I think.

    What can I say about an unappreciative record buying public, they never deserved me or the lyrics that I slaved over - bring back my colour tv and me bag of sensi! Class
    Where am I now? I'm over here,
    I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.

    Yeah that was a good one alright. The band featured one Mike Ogletree on drums who played a bit with Simple Minds.

    Then it doesn't count Pauro.... simple! One hit wonder means only one hit. Not One major hit and a lorry load of minor ones!

    The first song that pops into my head when i hear one hit wonder is the classic "Come on Eileen" ...... tura lura tura lura yay

    And Mambo no.5. I know he had that other one but it was practically the same song - 6,7,8,9,10!!
