      Don't know about best and worst, but one song I always look up on YouTube is 99 Red Balloons by Nena.

        Funnily enough, Elton...............for some reason THAT always sticks in my mind, too.................................dunno why - mebbies it's the hairy armpits....lol - or the German accent..........but yep - Nena remains an '80's fantasy figure to me (sad or what ?.........lol)

              ahh yes, nena hagen, wot a babe. that takes me back

              I roadied for a wee while for probably the cheesiest one hit wonders of all time, and that one hit was a con, cos th'ere manager bought 32,000 copies of the single to hype it into the charts, and quite bizzareely, heard it playing in someones car just this week.... Zigue Zigue Sputnik! what a bunch off eejits

              Always been a huge fan of john otway, possibly now a 2 hit wonder although they were 20 years apart. Everyone should see hime liv at least once before they die. He was in newcastle just last week!

                I recall.
                Blackfoot Sue. Standing in the road. good.
                Two hit wonder, John Kongos. circa 1969. Tokoloshe Man, Hes gonna step on you again., ripped off by Black Grape I think.
                Maker and inventor of CANNYLINKS, the best rotten bottom system bar none. IMHO!

                      SWMBO would say her most hated would be "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies.

                      Been thinking for a couple of days and would say one of the most memorable would be "Mickey" by Toni Basil. Not so much for the song but for the dancing by the girls in the video. The choreography was amazing.

                      Sadly I have to go along with the afore mentioned Mr. Dolce as I am struggling to think of a bigger load than that.

                          but Joe Dolce did keep Ultravox and vienna from getting to number 1!!! bet midge Ure still has nightmares about that

                          there is a worse one though. a 'song' so vile the mere mention of its title will send shivers down your spine, and possibly cause you to twitch subconciously, painful memories, you thought you'd gotten over, of bad wedding receptions and childrens parties will come flooding back.......the birdie song by the tweets

                          even Black Lace and Agadoo will seem like comfortable listening by comparison
