	I got 80. I am not proud of myself. EMF's song was not from 1983. And to dan snyder, this list came out quite a while ago and it wasn't from Sporcle. It's not their fault. And with Twister Sister, they were a one-hit wonder on the pop charts, just as Billy Ray Cyrus is a one-hit wonder on the pop charts but not on the country charts.

	How is Devo a one hit wonder? Or T-Pau for that matter.

	ebg:	May 5th, 2009 at 05:00 GMT	6 points
	#88 was from 1997, #53 has been overplayed like crazy lately because of that commercial, and otherwise this is an awesome quiz.

	jmarshallg:	May 5th, 2009 at 05:00 GMT	14 points
	I love how this is going to become a political debate. Anyway VH1 is generally horrible when it comes to making lists like this. Where the hell is Land Down Under or I Ran So Far Away?

	@John didn't Men at Work have more than one hit? Who Can it Be Now & Land Down Under, right?

	JohnJF:	May 5th, 2009 at 05:04 GMT	-1 points
	@John (the one without the JF at the end of it): Men at Work had a #1 with "Who Can It Be Now?" Valid point with A Flock of Seagulls though.

	Under Pressure is "dun dun dun diggy dun dun... dun dun dun diggy dun dun", while Ice Ice Baby is "dun dun dun diggy dun dun... DUN dun dun dun diggy dun dun"... COMPLETELY different!

	sbarrett:	May 5th, 2009 at 05:15 GMT	12 points
	Its sad how many of these I have on my computer...does that make me a one hit wonder in life?

	greymatters:	May 5th, 2009 at 05:19 GMT	3 points
	Happy Birthday, Ben! Since music is the topic here, here's your birthday song: "Ben, the two of us need look no more – We both found what we were looking for – With a friend to call my own – I'll never be alone" ;)

	emh:	May 5th, 2009 at 05:19 GMT	7 points
	Flock of Seagulls actually had three top 40 hits: I Ran, Space Age Love Song, and Wishing. Men at Work had 5 top 40 hits. On the other hand, several bands that made the list are not one hit wonders including Crash Test Dummies, A-ha, and Quiet Riot.

	Jaksiel:	May 5th, 2009 at 05:21 GMT	5 points
	Awesome, I've been waiting for this one. I was amused when I just kept typing M's for the Crash Test Dummies song and it eventually worked. Also, though they are a one-hit wonder, Faith No More are an awesome, awesome band.

	Rifsun:	May 5th, 2009 at 05:21 GMT	7 points
	It's spelled 99 Luftballons. Not luftballoons.

	Ha, this brought back memories. Got 78, but could totally sing along to all of them. I'm embarrassed by how many of these songs I truly enjoy, too.

	sammyhain2364:	May 5th, 2009 at 05:36 GMT	-2 points
	Could use a couple more minutes added to this one

	no, he said he canged it to fit his taste

	dsee:	May 5th, 2009 at 06:30 GMT	2 points
	trying to figure out how many mmms in crash test dummies was rather hard. I do agree its hard to judge what band had only one hit. like ratt, or twisted sister, or men at work. maybe they had only one song that hit number one? t'pau was bigger over in the uk, but they put out some good albums in the 80's. Jesus Jones should be on here with right here right now

	@YankeesJets, funny enough, CANDM's comment above is in fact a real quote taken by Vanilla Ice himself when asked in an interview what he thought regarding a lawsuit from Queen. I think it was shown on a VH1 Behind the Music or some similar show, it's hilarious.

	milkmeister:	May 5th, 2009 at 06:49 GMT	8 points
	I would have said if anyone on this lift was offensive it would be Gary Glitter rather than poor old Robert van Winkle...

	SowCrates:	May 5th, 2009 at 06:55 GMT	5 points
	Spelling was a problem for me. I admitted that I cheated for spelling. I mean, the only reason I know Iron Butterfly is from the Simpsons, so In a gadda da vida wasn't exactly my first guess for spelling. Whoomp! there it is took some cheating (anybody else think it was just "whoop"?)

	powerpup97:	May 5th, 2009 at 07:24 GMT	10 points
	I can't believe VH-1 didn't put "Video Killed the Radio Star" on this list! That was the very first music video to ever be shown on MTV!

	y2jdilemma:	May 5th, 2009 at 07:25 GMT	2 points
	Sir Mix a Lot a one hit wonder? VH1 obviously forgot the classic "Put Em on the Glass"!

	milkmeister:	May 5th, 2009 at 07:28 GMT	3 points
	@powerpup97, depends if that was their only hit in the US, they had a couple more singles in the UK that charted.

	mungar:	May 5th, 2009 at 07:32 GMT	7 points
	For Ice Ice Baby, Bowie/Mercury are among those officially credited for the song.

	Wilford_Brimley:	May 5th, 2009 at 07:35 GMT	-3 points
	Sir-Mix-A-Lot is not a one hit wonder. He did "Jump On It" not to mention...SWASS

	redsimba88:	May 5th, 2009 at 07:39 GMT	2 points
	"All Night Long" was also a hit for Mary Jane Girls, which was actually what I put at first.

	gadmo:	May 5th, 2009 at 08:07 GMT	5 points
	I think it should accept "Rock n roll part 2" for "Rock & roll, pt. 2"
