    Relax was by Frankie goes to Hollywood. Der Kommissar was originally also by Falco. Some really good ones in this thread already, but there must be more...

    Toto had other songs that stood out, such as Roseanna.

    Yes, as well as "Hold the Line", "I'll Be Over You", "Pamela", and "I Won't Hold You Back".

    "Rosanna" was a #2 song and "Africa" was a #1 song. So, as Panda pointed out, Toto was not a one-hit wonder band.

    [size=1/2]I know, I know....I know WAY too much about that band[/size]

    Oh two more great one-hit wonder songs:

    "Tarzan Boy" - Baltimora
    "The Promise" - When in Rome

    I'm pretty sure that Paul Young charted with a re-make of the Chi-lites classic, "Oh Girl".

    There is only one answer to this question:

    You in that dress
    My thoughts I confess
    Verge on dirty
    Ah come on Eileen
