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!

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

The Birdie song - everything that is right and wrong about English culture.
These proposed citizen tests should include "The Birdie Dance", "Mooning" and the 100 metre Tut (TttttttssTTTttt is that how you spell it?)

When I said English I meant it. The Scotch (
) Welsh and Oirish have managed to hang on to a bit of their tradition and culture. As for us Victors and Empire Builders PMSL. On the rare occasions real English folk culture rears it's head in public (The morris dancers and finger in the ear lads) it is ridiculed and if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, showered with bricks.
