Your Weekly One Hit Wonder!

(well, monthly.....) Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to these.

Here's a dose of 1982-- Madness with "Our House"



Yet another horribly-annoying-stick-in-your-head hit.

How are Madness a one-hit wonder? They had masses of hits. I mean loads and loads and loads. gtry sticking their name in youtube.

I believe their other hits were in the UK. (Wikipedia is my best friend these days) They did have one other US hit-- "It Must Be Love"-- so I guess technically they are a "two hit wonder". But they are featured on my handy-dandy one hit wonder site (http://www.onehitwondercenter.com/)
so I'm going with it :)

UK, Europe, Japan, Australia... thirty years of gold and platinum selling records, one of the most famous pop ska bands in the world. Not really in the same league as Kajagoogoo.

Just basing it on Amercian chart success I take it.

Perri said...

Yep-- just US charts. I had no idea they were such a big band, though.

Channelling Monty Python I see!

My son rediscovered this hit, downloaded it and drove his sisters to distraction, replaying it over and over. I don't mind--must be the nostalgia factor.

Have I mentioned I love this feature?

There is an Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award waiting for you over at my blog. Hope you're not too busy to pop on over for it!

Of course it needs to based on US charts. Are there any other charts that matter??? NO!
