MissFem; you start some fun threads! This is tough though because there are so many. I am going to say "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles, it marked the beginning of the MTV era and the 80's.

Three come to mind. "Black Velvet" by Alanis Myles. "Hot Smoke And Sasafrass" by The Bubble Puppy. Or "The Israelites" by Desmond Dekker.

OooOoo i love "Black Velvet" by Alanis Myles... now i can't get that song out of my head!

also i love "You Shook Me All Night Long" - AC/DC
"Pour Some Sugar On Me" - DEF LEPPARD

'Cause the walls were shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you -

Shook me all night long

*Opps sorry for singing*

If you mean a band that had one hit and then disappeared, I like My Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades by Timbuk3.

Damn! Great question, but very tough choice. The Soft Cell and Desmond Dekker were great picks. Most of my picks would be too obscure for anyone to have heard of, but here are some that aren't.

1960s
Terry Stafford, Suspicion
The Box Tops, The Letter
The Association, Along Comes Mary

1970s
The Jam, Down in the Tube Station at Midnight
The Flamin' Groovies, Shake Some Action

1980s
Joy Division, Love Will Tear Us Apart Again
Split Enz, I Got You
Dexy's Midnight Runners, Come On Eileen
Honorable mention to Tuxedo Moon (No Tears), Maurice Joshua (This is Acid), ReFlex (The Politics of Dancing), and Spinal Tap (Big Bottom).

1990s
The Las, There She Goes
Eon, The Spice Must Flow
C&C Music Factory, Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)
Honorable mention to Blind Melon (No Rain), DiVinyls (I Touch Myself), VIM (Maggie's Last Party), Pop Will Eat Itself (Ich Bin Ein Auslander) and DJ Keoki (Speed Racer, Porn Mix).

I Can't Get Started

(Ira Gershwin / Vernon Duke)

Iv'e been around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But man I can't get started with you
And at the golf course I'm under par
Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star
I've got a house and a show place
But can't get no place with you

You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
Baby but what good dose it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Gabel had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you

You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
But what good does it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Basic had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you

It was performed by Bunny Barrigan, who, as the story goes, actually died as a result of hitting a high C performing this piece.

Good posts here, but The Association had more than one hit. Windy and Never My Love are two of them. The Boxtops had another hit I think was called Milkmaid Ladies? By the way, for anyone who watches That 70's Show, the theme song was written by Alex Chilton who was the lead singer in the Boxtops.

Ack! And Cherish and some others, you're entirely correct. I guess I mentally threw them into the circular file sitting between The New Christy Minstrels and The Cowsills, as vocal-heavy songs that my parents liked better than I did. Scratch The Association from the list.

quote:

This one I had to check into, because for the life of me I could not remember any Boxtops song but The Letter. One site said that they'd had 2 hits, The Letter and Cry Like A Baby. Another said that their "better known singles" were The Letter, Neon Rainbow, Cry Like A Baby, I Met Her In Church and Soul Deep, but later went on to say: "These reissues prove there's much more to The Box Tops than their best-known hit, The Letter. But that song is still their finest one minute and 52 seconds." The song that you were thinking of was Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March, an ode to sex workers from their 4th and last album. I can't say that I remember any of those songs, but aside from The Letter they seem to have had 6 singles which crept into the lower ranks of the official Top 40 for at least a week, so I guess I have to disqualify The Boxtops too.

Maybe also Soft Cell for Sex Dwarf, and Memorabilia, and New Order for Bizarre Love Triangle and Regret. It's kind of murky to define with bands that managed to release at least one album.
