Did you ever wonder what happened to some of those one-hit wonders like Vanilla Ice, Tommy Tutone and Flock of Seagulls?
NBC did too, so they are bringing them back in "Hit Me Baby One More Time." What do they look like? What do they sound like?
We tracked down hitmakers from the past to take the stage to perform one more time and you can be the judge.
For three weeks, the former Top Ten artists will perform their trademark hit song along with one of today's current hits. At the end of the night, the live audience votes for their favorites! Watch "Hit Me Baby One More Time," Thursday nights at 9 on NBC 10.
Here is a list of the performers so you don't miss your favorite!

If you post those lyrics again, I'm just going to run away.
LOL! We're hearing these in the commercials because the artists will sell the rights cheap.
Grace Jone's greatest hit was Dolph Lundgren.
Shiela E was great (also sexy) in her Prince hit "The Glamerous Life", though she was part of the bombing of the Magic Johnson show.
Remember Too Shy, was a too cute pop song.
You just had to bring them up, didn't you? :o)
Ouch.
"How Long" is off of Paul Carracks, Blue Views, which I have sitting right here beside me. The CD was released in '97. I am clueless as to whether or not this was a re-release of the song.
I enjoyed Squeeze as well as Mike and The Mechanics.
* Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
* Big Country - Big Country
* Gary Numan - Cars
and on, and on, and on....
Six more weeks on hormone pills and those guys could be Bananarama.
Puttin' On The Ritz
Taco
If you're blue
And you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the ritz
Different types who wear a
Day coat pants with stripes
And cutaway coat perfect fits
Puttin' on the ritz
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper
(Super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk
With sticks or um-ber-ellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the ritz
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats, and arrow collars
White spats, and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
If you're blue
And you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the ritz
Different types who wear a
Day coat pants with stripes
And cutaway coat perfect fits
Puttin' on the ritz
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper
(Super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk
With sticks or um-ber-ellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the ritz
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper
(Super duper)
If you're blue
And you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the ritz
Puttin' on the ritz
Puttin' on the ritz
Puttin' on the ritz
(Gotta dance)
(Gotta dance)
(If you're blue and you don't know where to go to)
(Why don't you go where fashion sits)
(Puttin' on the ritz)
(Puttin' on the ritz)

Oh, don't be shy.
It is a re-make/slightly different version from the original, released by Ace in 1980, of which Paul Carrack was the lead singer.
I have to go to bed.
If you have a DVD drive and a short list of videos like these, let me know. I'll send you the MPEGs.
How short?
Hmm, no more than 60 per disk, if I'm doing the math right in my head...about 75meg per vid, avg.
Open offer to those already on this thread at the time of this post.
She was always a big hit in gay clubs I hear.
Outside of that, she had no career beyond one movie with the Arnold.
I feel like some Mexican food.
"Walking in the Rain" was a terrific song.
