• One Hit Wonders….

    July 19, 2012 /


    I just love watching VH-1 when they do the one-hit wonders. It reminds me of so many awesome songs…..

    Come On Eileen, by Dexys Midnight Runners:

    I mean, check out those bibs…. LOL!!!

    Take On Me, by A-Ha

    I love the drawing part of this video. It was pretty high tech for their time. Pencil drawings are my favorite, so I really like this. 🙂

    Okay, I know last week was One Hit Wonder Week, but I think I needed to extend it one more day with this one. . .

    Heart and Soul, by T’Pau

    Okay, this song ROCKS! Classic 80’s hair, too. Great voice and a catchy little tune, huh? It’s not too cheesy, even with the hint of “hand dancing. . . ”

    LOL

    Happy Monday, everyone. Here’s to a GREAT week!

    We’ve reached the end of a very fun week. Walking down memory lane with you has been a blast!

    For this final One Hit Wonder song, I would have to agree with VH-1 when they named it the best One Hit Wonder…..

    What was up with the overalls, no shirts beneath? Must have been a fad back then in the UK?

    Any idea what the words are? I can’t make out many at all? **LOL**

    Happy Friday, everyone!!

    Welcome to Day One of One Hit Wonder Week!

    Today’s video is Take On Me by Aha.

    Back in the 80s, this was considered pretty innovative for a music video.

    I used to do a bit of drawing when I was in high school, so I was always intrigued with this video because of the drawing aspect. Oh, yeah, the song was good, too . . . **smile**
