My favorite one hit wonder was The Insiders, "Ghost On the Beach". That was 1987, so just before the 90s.



I've never heard that one. Thanks for pointing it out. They remind me a little of The Connells...check out Scotty's Lament and Stone Cold Yesterday with my favorite being Fun & Games[1]. I think they were five years too early...I was obsessed with them in high school.

Another early one-hit-wonder is from Deee-Lite, "Groove is in the Heart" (1990). I still watch the video from time to time...the woman can dance like no other.

Deee-Lite brings to mind

"Doin' the Do" - Betty Boo

"Hippychick" - Soho

"I'm Free" - the Soupdragons

"Unbelievable" - EMF
