KAJAGOOGOO - TOO SHY

They had quite a good bass player if I recall. Shame no-one ever mentions him

[fleabag]

Nick Beggs it was. And he still is - he went on to form Ellis Beggs and Howard . He's also a bit of a whiz on the Chapman Stick

Lives in Leighton Buzzard, and i know that because a friend of mine lives there and sees him a round on occasions

This was a great track from E,B & H

And do you know what "one hit wonder" means?

Musical Youth - no
Desmond Dekker - no
Kajagoogoo - no
Stealer's Wheel - two other top 40 singles so it depends whether "hit" is top 40 or top 20

I think fleabag was given a big opportunity.

Which one-hit wonders that you love? You are welcome to interpret 'one-hit wonder' quite liberally:
[list]
[*]A literal one-hit wonder such as Carl Douglas's Kung-Fu Fighting
[*]A supernova type going from obscurity to heights of fame with a few hits and back to obscurity very quickly. Think Billie Piper.
[*]A performer or band who were around for decades but are only really known for a song or two. Think The Proclaimers.
[/list]

Matthews Southern Comfort - Woodstock
Was Love - Alone Again Or , a hit? I think it was their only real success, but not sure if it could be classed as a hit

Thinking about it a bit more, I quite like Zager And Evans 2525 and my secret favourite is probably 5th Dimension, Aqurius/let the sun shine in. I find it a bit cheesy, but I seem to like it

Thanks to this thread I've downloaded 'Safety Dance' and am enjoying playing along with it immensely.
