ONE HIT WONDERS OF THE 80S #31 - "Don’t Worry Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin, and is an eternal One-Hit FTW~!
ONE HIT WONDERS OF THE 80S #32 - "Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash (1981) was one of my earliest America-source 80s' rock tracks I'd heard on radio, but could not find the name of the song nor performers for the longest time - having missed the DJ's introductions, and not hearing the song again on the radio for far too long...!
ONE HIT WONDERS OF THE 80S #33 - "Missing You" by John Waite (1984) - THIS. "I ain't missing you at all ... Since you've been gone away ... I ain't missing you."
ONE HIT WONDERS OF THE 80S #34 - "I Know What Boys Like" by The Waitresses ... and this is the very first time I've seen the MV for this track too LOL
ONE HIT WONDERS OF THE 80S #35 - "Genius of Love" by Tom Tom Club (1981) is yet another CLASSIC! This was sampled by Mariah Carey in "Fantasy" too.
ONE HIT WONDERS OF THE 80S #36 - "It’s Raining Men" by Weather Girls.
ONE HIT WONDERS OF THE 80S #37 - "Funkytown" by Lipps, Inc. skimmed the beginning of 1980, with their disco-soundscape and aesthetics from 1979, ala BONEY.M, ABBA etc...!
