It may have been a one hit wonder, but it was re-recorded with the same time but different lyrics by the duo A Taste Of Honey in 1981.

Not exactly a one hit band, but an excellent R&B tune, thanks for posting.

“The Sun Always Shines on TV” is actually a little better than “Take on me”, I’m but I like the choice since TSASOTV wasn’t a hit.

Conquistador--Procol Harum (1972)

Seems our conquistador has been killed fighting on a beach. He may have been defending Havana from French pirates in 1577 or battling Dutch marauders at Acapulco in 1624.

This was a hit in Japan in 1961 and in the US in 1963.

One that always cracked me up was “Loving You Has Made Me Bananas” by Guy Marks.

This is an awesome thread, I can listen to all these great songs on my Alexa and give the spooks at the NSA some cool tunes to groove on at the same time, win win!

BTW mine would be Beds Are Burnin by Midnight Oil, Aussie OHW’s.

I don't think this was a chart hit, but it's my favorite recording by the Heartbeats.

Oh, Baby, Don't (1956)
