I walk along the city streets you Used to walk along with me
And every step reminds me of how we used to be....

Song: “Always Something There To Remind Me” (1983)
 
Lock up the streets and houses
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
 
Ah Leah - Donnie Iris

Leah ITs been such a long time your such a sight yeah
Looking better than a body has a right to
Dontcha know your playing with fire
My mind says know but our hearts are talking faster Leah

Ah Leah - here we go again
Ah Leah Here we go again - Donnie Iris

I've got your picture of me and you
You wrote "I love you " I wrote "me too"
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel

I like that haunting tune, Alexis.
Did you know that Jagger/Richards successfully sued and get all royalties for it, it was sampled from Andrew Loog Oldham, their manager's orchestral take on the Stones hit "The Last Time" in 1966.

There was also Promises, Promises by Naked Eyes. It was a hit, though I thought it sucked.

I liked "Promises Promises". Then there was "When the Lights Go Out", their 3rd single, but it only got minor airplay and the video was shown on some show produced by Byron Allen. Second Album also had a minor hit called "What in the Name of Love". They had 4 hits total.

Mc Hammer with "U can't touch this" :D

Ah, ah, ah. MC Hammer had another that was really cool called "Pray" using Prince's "When Doves Cry" as the back-up.

Stevie V. and "The Adventures of Stevie V.", now that's a one hit wonder.

Gyaos.
 
Blind Melon with No Rain

They might have had more hits if the lead singer didnt overdose. Little bit of erie info on this singer is he did the back ups to a couple of Nirvana songs interesting they end up dead in the end.

Another one hit is Extream with More Than Words
 
R dean Taylor -- Indiana Wants Me
Payolas -- Eyes of a Stranger
Katrina and the Waves -- Walking on Sunshine
Doug and the Slugs -- Too Bad
TPOH -- I'm an Adult Now
Sweeny Todd -- Roxy Roller
Rough Trade -- High School Confidential
Alana Myles -- Black Velvet
The Kings -- Switching to Glide
Valdy -- Play me a Rock and Roll Song
The Pointed Stick -- Real Thing

-- a few from the Can Con corner
 
Johnny Cymbal was a one hit wonder in 1963 with "Mr. Bass Man", then in 1969 he was known as "Derek" with another one hit wonder, "Cinnamon".

*Warning* This obscure fact will not impress anyone at a party. :rolleyes:

It was actually the manager that sued he has the rights to the instrumental used by the Verve.
