Whip It was the ultimate one hit wonder of the 80's.................:sarcasm:

Was there for it mate, unlike more than likely Slappy was. Devo had about three hits EVER from actual songs and many more hits from looking like geeks with red flower pots on their heads. ;-)

Whip It was the ultimate one hit wonder of the 80's.................:sarcasm:

DEVO had a string of hits, were commercially successful and VERY influential.
How you could mistake that for 'one hit wonder' status is quite astounding.

Not sure if it has been done before, But was just listening to classic hits Australian Legends CD, and the song " Jessies Girl " came on at number 12 on side one, by Rick SPRINGFIELD. Top old song I reckon......

What other one hit wonders do you guys and gals like......( Apologies to rick if he ever wrote another hit, but I havent heard of it if he did ) LMAO.....;-) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Springfield had 1/2 a dozen songs hit the top 40 here in the 1970's and 1980's.

Speak to the Sky, Hooky Jo and Don't talk to strangers being a few of them.

About the same in the US.

But everyone remembers him for that one song.
