    I'm ashamed of you guys! In this BBS of all places, no one has yet to mention Archie Bell and the Drells "Tighten Up" ?

    :confused:

    Don McLean had 'Vincent (Starry, Starry night)' among other minor songs - e.g. Dreidel.

    FYI, Huey Lewis sued Ray Parker because he claimed that Ghost Busters was a rip off of 'I want a New Drug'. The suit was resolved in Lewis favor.

    I can't pick just one:

    Tainted Love - Soft Cell
    Der Kommissar - After the Fire
    Rock Me Amadeus - Falco
    Tarzan Boy - Baltimora
    99 Luftballoons (German version only!) - Nena

    Also, I like one of Behad's in Cars by Gary Numan.

    I think this thread is too confusing. Maybe some of the artists and bands mentioned here only had one hit in the US but they had good careers in the UK and Europe.

    Very cool video.......I always though he said "VEGAS" as in Las Vegas, but he was saying Vegas as in Cerwin Vegas the speakers!!! Its cool how Ice turned out, and this is certainly in my top 5

    My biggest one is Don Mclean and American Pie....................every time it comes on I have to stop and listen

    Steven Tyler always liked "somebody I used to know." He said you could just put it on a loop and play it over and over. I have to agree. It's gets at the heart of something.
