Actually, perfectfish, you can add "Mad World" to that list. All 3 songs ("Everybody Wants to Rule the World", "Shout", and "Mad World") were all originally done by Tears for Fears - T4F. They were hardly 1 hit wonders.Roxxi

Hey! PERFECTFISH. "Everybody wants to rule the world" and "Shout" are by the same band. 1 Hit wonders of the 80s, not 2. FYI those songs are not one hit wonders. Actually perfectfish you can't call Crazy little thing called love a one hit wonder.Roxxi

Fascinating so see what was only a one hit wonder in the US. I actually was surprised that Swing Out Sister had a hit in the US, despite being a really great little band.

The Church - one hit wonders??!!! They've been named by many artists as being an influence. In the Uk, many of these bands had a number of hits over many years. The world doesn't revolve around the good ole US of A y'all! Cocks..
