Rest in Peace, Patrick Swayze. Even though he was mostly known for his acting and dancing, he could sing as well, and it's a shame that he never got to record any more tunes.
When Mr Swayze died I could Not watch Dirty Dancing for a couple of days, because I knew I would start crying when the song, I know which this is talking about.
Quick, someone find a discotheque for me. I'm ready to dust off my wrap-around dress (with shoulder pads, of course) and dance the night away. Sometimes I can't remember why I walked into a room but I remembered all of the lyrics to these songs. 🤣 Thanks MsMojo 🥰
Come to Stuttgart, Germany. Black velvet for example is never left out in the Perkins Park Disco. We women sing along and then go happy home around 2am.
Thank you for this amazing trip through middle & high school. They may have been one hit wonders but they were great music. I knew the words to every song on this list….ICONIC ❤
My mom was a depression era child. Born in 1926, and raised in RURAL North Carolina, she never had much time or interest in music. She LOVED Tommy Tutone. Sang it word for word. The only better part was watching my dad watch her sing. Speachless....
Whoever writes for these videos kudos to you. It is not easy to write a script for music video reviews without repeating yourself several times. Your writing is fresh, original, and descriptive. Whoever does it deserves a raise. Well done!
It is. I remember most of the ones just shown. But there are literally several volumes Mojo could put together for these. The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon, Marillon - Kayleigh, Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting. So, so many that we lived through. i wouldn't swap it at all. The music was, and is timeless.
If Murray Head looks familiar to the eyes in the 'One Night in Bangkok' video, it's because he's the brother of Anthony Stewart Head...aka Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Nothing will ever beat 80s music. Every song on this list. Regardless of how cheesey or overproduced it sounds. Is better than 99.99% of anything made in the last 20+ years.
thank you so much for reminding me of some of the best years of my life!! 💖 met my husband in 1983 and we partied to ALL of these songs!! 🎶 he passed in 2015, and i miss him so much, but the memories are awesome. 💔
Born in 1970, turned 10 in 1980, turned 20 in 1990; all of my music was late 50's, 60's, 70's in real time, and 80's as a teen. Most music for me ended then. I have found particular bands but not straight-up love across styles since then. Let's see if music, collectively, returns to real music.
Loved ‘Break My Stride’. Another great song with a reggae vibe was ‘Electric Avenue’ by Eddy Grant. Also, like the one-hit wonder ‘The Promise’ by When In Rome.
Everyone seems to always forget about Baby Love by Regina. It is an awesome song originally written with Madonna in mind and Regina sounds so much like Madonna that lots of people think it’s one of her songs.
I went to high school in the 80's so I remembered all of these plus a few you didn't mention. Big country by big country Take on me by aha 99 red balloons by Nina I wear my sunglasses at nite by Corey Hart
Corey Hart was a very successfull artist in Canada. If you liked him you should do a deeper dive into him. Loved 'Comerad Kiev' and Eurasian Eyes' as well as 'Là-bas' with his wife Julie Masse. a-Ha also did 'The Sun Always Shines on TV' (personnal favorite) and 'The Living Daylights' (James Bond movie theme of the same name).
Love the music of the 80s. It was a great soundtrack for my high school, college, and first couple years of medical school. At least half of these songs are in my music library and still get regular play. I still remember meeting women at parties in college and feeling the connection when I realized they were interested while dancing to Let the Music Play or Obsession. Then the slow dance that followed…feeling a little lightheaded from the combination of a potential new love, cheap beer, and the fumes from hair spray or mousse…thank you for this nostalgic trip down memory lane. (Although none of those meetings ended in marriage, most of them ended in amicable friendships and we are still connected via social media to this day.)
Mid 70s GenX here as well. I was apart of a poor family in the 80s but, I still miss it. It really was a fantastic time to be a city kid in NJ. Even in the 90s, people still had a face to face connection and got out more often.
*I remember Quarterflash well!! Their original name was Seafood Mama. My sister and I used to watch them play in the clubs in Portland, Oregon. We also used to watch Nu Shooz. I thought for sure that they would be on this list with their song, I Can't Wait. It was a HUGE hit in the clubs before it was ever cut as a record!! Good memories!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I never dreamed that my clubbing in the late 70's through the 80's would one day turn into AARP and Social Security!!! 🤣🤣🤣 We were so cool 😎 back 🔙 then. Getting old was NEVER a thought in our minds!!* 🤦♀️
The 80's is my favourite decade for music, there's so many oldies which are certainly goodies. My top tunes are "Come On Eileen", "Just Died in Your Arms", and "Tarazan Boy."
When I was young (55 now), I would buy an artist's album (cassette back then) ONLY if I liked at least 3 of the songs on that album. I bought their Broadcast album and now I have 9 of their 10 songs on that album on my Spotify favorites list. It is one of my favorite all-time albums of 80's pop, second only to The Outfield (multiple albums) and Benjamin Orr's "The Lace". A truly underrated band in my book.
And let me just say, I had that entire Party All The Time album.. Eddie Murphy CAN sing.. the album was good.. & RIP Patrick.. you were one talented, good looking fella.. we miss you..
Mon dieu cela me rappelle tellement de souvenirs 😅. Mais mes préférés sont celles de Kajagougou, Patrick Swayze et Baltimora 😍👍. On n'oublie pas certaines chansons qui nous ont marquées 😉. Merci pour ce voyage dans ma jeunesse 👏. A+ 💞
I've never heard of One night in Bangkok or of Murray Head, I HAVE heard of his younger brother. Anthony Head of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer fame is also a very good singer - he just concentrated more on his acting career.
This is dripping with nostalgia for me. I still have my Aldo Nova and Quarterflash cassettes and I know exactly where I was when I first "Come On Eileen". (My 12 birthday, 1982)
I hate these countdowns when the writers aren't really sure what "one-hit wonder" means. Animotion, Murray Head, Martika, Eddie Murphy, Don Johnson (duet w/ Barbara Streisand), Quarterflash, and Cutting Crew all had at least one other top 30 hit in the US. Just because the author isn't really aware of that fact doesn't mean the performer suddenly becomes a one-hit wonder.
I bought the Kajagoogoo album and loved the whole thing -- that doesn't happen so much for me. This Ms Mojo video was really good. I also expected Thomas Dolby, although he might have had TWO hits.
Well, Martika had another top ten hit later in 1991. So, she's not really a one hit wonder. Anyway, good list and great music. The 80s are a great decade of awesome tunes.
The joke I made up for Matthew Wilder, way back when the song was charting, was substituting letters in the chorus. Break My Stride became Streak My Bride. I still love the song because it reminds me of my youth.
@@Grubnar I live in the USA, and none of his songs charted above 46!!! And that was Wouldn't it be good. I love the riddle too!! Also, wild horses and you might. Almost all of that album!!

I have blasted Fantasy by Aldo Nova in my car at 1:30 AM. That might SOUND like a bad idea until you realize this: when you're driving that late at night, you have to stay awake somehow. I decided I might as well crank up the good stuff. Also, I didn't get any complaints. Hmm...HMM...
There were two great ,one hit wonders in 1986, The promise you gave, by Cock Robin a great song. And the one I think is brilliant is, Brilliant mind by Furniture
Even with one hit wonders lists like this they'll lean toward the synth-pop stuff nearly every time. Off the top of my head, Cherry Pie by Warrant is one that gets overlooked.
@@robmaynard5524 For me, AC/DC and Van Halen really "broke out" in the '70's, and G'n'R in the 90's. As for the others you listed, no, I didn't forget them but I'm trying! JK. Take care.
Who’s your favorite one-hit wonder from the eighties? Let us know in the comments!
a-ha! Sure, they had another Top 40 hit with "The Sun Always Shines on TV," but most everyone associates them for "Take on Me."
Men without hats, The safety dance
Man in Motion. John Parr
@@jimb.7523 A-Ha aren't a one hit wonder
Aldo Nova...I remember cruising the strip in Fremont California blasting his album.
1980s is still my number one favorite decade of all time. 😊
It was big in my country with bands like AC/DC and Midnight Oil.
The variety and creativity of music and film in the 80's is undeniable.
@@bkdayooper Absolutely right!! You've nailed it in one simple statement.
Amen to that.
If I could go back to any decade it would be the '80's!
Rest in Peace, Patrick Swayze. Even though he was mostly known for his acting and dancing, he could sing as well, and it's a shame that he never got to record any more tunes.
When Mr Swayze died I could Not watch Dirty Dancing for a couple of days, because I knew I would start crying when the song, I know which this is talking about.
His mom was a singer
He also loved horses ❤
Facts his voice is way more fire than many may remember
@@kristakovach4293his mother was a dance teacher

Yess .. same. Lol. Just turned 57, and these songs brings back memories of parties, sleepovers and all night roller skating.
Come to Stuttgart, Germany. Black velvet for example is never left out in the Perkins Park Disco. We women sing along and then go happy home around 2am.
I very much enjoyed this video.
Born in '72, I am an 80s kid. I remember all of these tunes.
Very good video, MsMojo!
Yaaasss!!! Me too!!!

My mom was born in 1928, and she was mesmerized by Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in The Dark." She would dance along with Courtney Cox.
OMG, I cannot believe my favorite one hit wonder from the 80's didn't make your list. "Walking on Sunshine" from 1983
We never forgot Katrina and the Waves were awesome. That's why they didn't make the list. ;)
awesome song!! 💕
1985, actually. And they had a #18 hit called "That's The Way" in 1989.
Tainted love????
Love shine a light won Eurovision have some respect
This brings back my teen and preteen years thank you.
Whoever writes for these videos kudos to you. It is not easy to write a script for music video reviews without repeating yourself several times. Your writing is fresh, original, and descriptive. Whoever does it deserves a raise. Well done!
It’s AI produced and presented buddy
My BF and I literally said day before last that the 80s was the best era of pop! Hands down!
It is. I remember most of the ones just shown. But there are literally several volumes Mojo could put together for these. The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon, Marillon - Kayleigh, Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting. So, so many that we lived through. i wouldn't swap it at all. The music was, and is timeless.
But the 70s rule ROCK
If Murray Head looks familiar to the eyes in the 'One Night in Bangkok' video, it's because he's the brother of Anthony Stewart Head...aka Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Didn't know that
never new that, awesome!! been rewatching Buffy again recently too!
Nothing will ever beat 80s music.
Every song on this list. Regardless of how cheesey or overproduced it sounds. Is better than 99.99% of anything made in the last 20+ years.
All these music brings fantastic memories
“Two of Hearts” is still one of my 100+ favorite ‘80s songs. 😁
Two of hearts is WHY I bought the album but my favorite song was Better Than Heaven. Cinnamon ❤
thank you so much for reminding me of some of the best years of my life!! 💖
met my husband in 1983 and we partied to ALL of these songs!! 🎶
he passed in 2015, and i miss him so much, but the memories are awesome. 💔
Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round". They may have had other so-called hits but nothing topped this one
I remember most of these songs. They bring back a lot of memories.
Born in 1970, turned 10 in 1980, turned 20 in 1990; all of my music was late 50's, 60's, 70's in real time, and 80's as a teen. Most music for me ended then. I have found particular bands but not straight-up love across styles since then. Let's see if music, collectively, returns to real music.
Loved ‘Break My Stride’. Another great song with a reggae vibe was ‘Electric Avenue’ by Eddy Grant. Also, like the one-hit wonder ‘The Promise’ by When In Rome.
Eddie Grant was not a one hit wonder he had a few hits in the 80's
I remember Break My Stride from a commercial.
"Break My Stride" makes a fantastic "EARWORM".
I’m only 29 years know and I know most of these songs and I have never forgotten about them. Most of them I listen to quite regularly lmao
I was born when "Come on Eilleen" came out!
I'm 53. 👊🤙
God I wish I had a lot of money to open up a discotheque only playing these songs ,having people come in,just having a great time and NO Cell phones 🎉
Everyone seems to always forget about Baby Love by Regina. It is an awesome song originally written with Madonna in mind and Regina sounds so much like Madonna that lots of people think it’s one of her songs.
Jeez, I miss the 80s
A lot of us do. 😢
Yes😔😔
❤T'pau "Heart and soul", 1987. Love this song so much.
Listen to China in Your Hand - huge in the UK 😊
Love it too! 😊
This should have been on the list for sure
@@NikkiP-bx2lgthey weren’t a one hit wonder.

a-Ha also did 'The Sun Always Shines on TV' (personnal favorite) and 'The Living Daylights' (James Bond movie theme of the same name).

Great list, to this day people sing Come on Eileen, to me so I have lots of fond memories associated with this song.
A great decade for song. I’m 62 and was so into MTV was voted most likely to be a mtv Vijay in 84 from my college friends.
I was a teenager in the early 80s. All of these songs had heavy rotation on then young MTV. Love this. Thank you!
80s baby here, '83 this hits nearing my 41 birthday on the 17th this month, grew up with listening to these songs ❤️
Happy Early Birthday!, My older sister by three years and I were each born in 1982 and 1985(me).
Happy Birthday! I was born in the 70s, but grew up on the 80s music, all of this, and especially metal.
Cool, the best are: Emf - Unbelievable and Franky goes to Hollywood - Relax
I think EMF was in the 90s
@aysada thnx
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Depends where you live - their follow up hits of Two Tribes and Power of Love were both absolutely massive hits in the UK.
No, we did not forget these tunes, MsMojo.
Mid 70s-born GenX here. Love and miss the 80s big time - or, in reality, probably just my youth. It was a fantastic time to be a kid
Yes. Bicentennial baby here.
Mid 70s GenX here as well. I was apart of a poor family in the 80s but, I still miss it. It really was a fantastic time to be a city kid in NJ. Even in the 90s, people still had a face to face connection and got out more often.
Great selection of songs. Baltimora and Stacey Q sooo 80s and Cutting Crew was huge
SYNTHECIDE is another hit so Stacey Q is not a one hit wonder!
and Cutting Crew - I've Been in Love Before
Let the Music Play -- I always found that song compelling. Great choice
Yes!! Also Shannon 'Give Me Tonight'
@@sueellenwalsh1326 I have that 12" maxi single. I like both of Shannon's hits, but I like GMT better.

“Too Shy” is still my favorite song from the ‘80s
Wow...I kept waiting through the list for Safety Dance!
When 867-5309 was popular, I lived in a city with the extension 867. The number was for a local pizza shop, in a college town.
867 it's pizza time...
867 its pizza time...
I remember these but my favorite would be the late Patrick Swayze thou he's gone but not forgotten 😢❤😊RIP, thanks for sharing these.
Those are great songs. We were lucky to live in this time. ❤
GenX keeps these songs alive.
Take My Breath Away.
The movie Top Gun, a classic.
The group is called Berlin
This was the soundtrack of my childhood,and I'm not ashamed to admit it!💘💘💘
Me too ❤
Me too! 💜
Stellar list!
The 80's is my favourite decade for music, there's so many oldies which are certainly goodies. My top tunes are "Come On Eileen", "Just Died in Your Arms", and "Tarazan Boy."
I loved the 80's. 1985 was a great year for me, and Walkin On Sunshine was always on the radio.
I've never forgotten them, or how awesome they were!
The music in the 80's was so fun to listen to. It was what music should be. Which is to sing along, dance, and have fun. I miss the 80's so much.
Great list, 3/4 of these songs are on my favorites list and on constant rotation.
The Future’s So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades by Timbuk 3 is also another great one
Black Velvet, what a song! I heard a few of her other songs, they were pretty good
Alannah Myles is great!! She is Canadian too!
I love the 80's. Even though I wasn't born yet! Thanks VH1 Classic!
the 80's attacked my brain with music
When I was young (55 now), I would buy an artist's album (cassette back then) ONLY if I liked at least 3 of the songs on that album. I bought their Broadcast album and now I have 9 of their 10 songs on that album on my Spotify favorites list. It is one of my favorite all-time albums of 80's pop, second only to The Outfield (multiple albums) and Benjamin Orr's "The Lace". A truly underrated band in my book.
And let me just say, I had that entire Party All The Time album.. Eddie Murphy CAN sing.. the album was good.. & RIP Patrick.. you were one talented, good looking fella.. we miss you..
I saw Alannah Myles open for Robert Plant back in the late eighties I think it was. She was impressive. A lot better than I was expecting.
None of these are forgotten. Still listen to many of them today. Especially, Jenny and Come On Eileen.
Nice trip down memory lane thanks
I’d like to purchase this playlist. This is the embodiment of my childhood.
Great video! Loved the songs. Brings me back! ❤
Cutting Crew had also "I've been in love before"
Mon dieu cela me rappelle tellement de souvenirs 😅. Mais mes préférés sont celles de Kajagougou, Patrick Swayze et Baltimora 😍👍. On n'oublie pas certaines chansons qui nous ont marquées 😉. Merci pour ce voyage dans ma jeunesse 👏. A+ 💞
I've never heard of One night in Bangkok or of Murray Head, I HAVE heard of his younger brother. Anthony Head of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer fame is also a very good singer - he just concentrated more on his acting career.
This is dripping with nostalgia for me. I still have my Aldo Nova and Quarterflash cassettes and I know exactly where I was when I first "Come On Eileen". (My 12 birthday, 1982)
Late 80's and early 90's were amazing
Got most of these on 45.. still play the heck out of them.. the kiddos are always asking to hear them.. great fun. Excellent list.
I hate these countdowns when the writers aren't really sure what "one-hit wonder" means. Animotion, Murray Head, Martika, Eddie Murphy, Don Johnson (duet w/ Barbara Streisand), Quarterflash, and Cutting Crew all had at least one other top 30 hit in the US. Just because the author isn't really aware of that fact doesn't mean the performer suddenly becomes a one-hit wonder.
not gonna lie - Tarzan Boy absolutely kicks on a top end car stereo.
Not necessarily my FAVORITE, but I'm surprised 99Luftballoons from Nena wasn't on here but Patrick Swayze was.
I bought the Kajagoogoo album and loved the whole thing -- that doesn't happen so much for me. This Ms Mojo video was really good. I also expected Thomas Dolby, although he might have had TWO hits.
Loved Quarterflash
80’s music was so good. The first single I bought was Break My Stride.
Happy monday afternoon, Rebecca, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
I remember my senior year 87 going to the small town near me and cruising in my buddies car rocking Aldo Nova the whole tape was awesome
Men Without Hats- Safety Dance-fave. C'mon, Eillen- least favorite
How can anyone in the 80s not recall Quarterflash. Lovely music. Talk to me, take me to heart....
Well, Martika had another top ten hit later in 1991. So, she's not really a one hit wonder.
Anyway, good list and great music. The 80s are a great decade of awesome tunes.
Ahhh.. I see I’m not the only reliving my youth 😂.. we had no idea what we were singing about.. 💜💜
I would like to add Jane Wiedlin’s “Rush Hour” to the mix
Most 80s songs have that similar synthesizer sound. The minute you hear it, you'll know it's an 80s song. 😂
We didn’t forget these songs were awesome. We just didn’t want to publicly admit we thought many of these songs were awesome 😂😂😂
Most these songs I liked during the 80s. Best decade for music.
Come on Eileen is actually #1 , but whatevs, taken as a whole it’s a worthy list.
From someone who lived his formative years with these tunes
Mine was little river band night owl but honestly the eighties for me were the best thanx
The joke I made up for Matthew Wilder, way back when the song was charting, was substituting letters in the chorus. Break My Stride became Streak My Bride. I still love the song because it reminds me of my youth.
Nick Kershaw's Wouldn't be good!!
Once in awhile it'll be on a list, but not as often as I'd like it to be.
But it is not a "one hit wonder". He had like half a dozen top ten hits.
Great song ... although my personal favorite is "The Riddle".
@@Grubnar I live in the USA, and none of his songs charted above 46!!! And that was Wouldn't it be good.
I love the riddle too!! Also, wild horses and you might. Almost all of that album!!

I was gonna mention The Outfield. They had a coupla catchy songs.
Half of them aren't one hit wonders notably Midnight Oil and Chris DeBurgh, both having multiple hits. But good selection anyway.
Madness had several hits in Britain. Even nowadays, "One Step Beyond" i played after Chelsea FC matches.
Many of these aren't one hit wonders and some of these tracks are from 1979.
Neither Waite nor Parr were one hit wonders. They had several chart toppers
Good selections here. Quarterflash was a very popular bar band here in Portland, Oregon for a few years before they hit the national charts.
Cool to know.
The Mandella effect is absolutely real. I first heard Stacy Q's "Two Of Hearts" in 1981, and it was one of the very biggest songs that year.
Their all good forinier quarter flash wow my generation grew up to some awesome music that will b with us forever
I remember Stacey Q (Cinnamon) on an episode of Facts of Life. I didn’t know she was a real artist, also why do I remember these things?
Don't forget Full House
Cmon, most of these songs are on the rotation of most 80s genre radio stations
I have blasted Fantasy by Aldo Nova in my car at 1:30 AM. That might SOUND like a bad idea until you realize this: when you're driving that late at night, you have to stay awake somehow. I decided I might as well crank up the good stuff. Also, I didn't get any complaints. Hmm...HMM...

There were two great ,one hit wonders in 1986, The promise you gave, by Cock Robin a great song. And the one I think is brilliant is, Brilliant mind by Furniture
Two of hearts...
Remember her on facts of life TWICE!!!
She was Cinnamon
