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.

The tune doesn't come to mind, but if I heard it I might recognize it.
Never fear. CBS is on it, sort of;
CBS reveals the identities of its upcoming 'Rock Star: INXS' contestants
"Grace Jones greatest hit was Dolph Lundgren."
Was that before she was run over by that boat?
Actually, I had a couple of her albums and enjoyed them.
True, she is a terrific talent and her dad was historic in music. She may one day be as well.
Yes on all counts, thanks!
I'll freepmail you my list later this weekend after some thought, but if you have or can find a very obscure video/song called..."Take Me For A Night In New York" by Elbow Bones & the Racketeers, I would be forever indebted!
Great song and great video!
When I worked a bouncer in 1980 to 1983 I heard that song five times a night for three years.
If only "I had a rocket launcher"
The Cult - Fire Woman
Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey,
Oh, since I set my eyes on you.
I tell you the truth.
Twistin' like a flame in a slow dance, baby,
You're driving me crazy.
Come on, little honey, come on now!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!
You shake it up, you're to blame, got me swayin' little honey.
My heart's a ball of burnin' flame.
Oh, yes it is.
Trancing like a cat on a hot tin shack,
Lord, have mercy! Come on little sister, come on and shake it!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!
I was thinking what I've been missing.
I'll tell you truthfully, well.
She's coming close now.
I can feel her.
She's getting close to me.
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!
Fire woman you're to blame
Slow, melodic, electronica with sounds of the rain falling. Best played late at night at Gothic nightclubs or driving in Winter.
"This one goes to eleven"
He was meant to be her prop, but he had ambitions of his own and has done fairly well in mostly B movies.
Now that you mention it, I do remember something about a boat.
Or driving "through" Gothic nightclubs in the winter!!!
Totally, and don't forget "Sweet Soul Sister"!
LOL!!!
The "Black" album.
The Cult...most under-rated band of all time. Sonic Temple is in my CD player at this very moment.
Saw 'em live opening for Metallica in Houston years and years ago. Evening was going great until the band spotted my date...
Goth did have a permanent effect on current culture among women I guess.
I can't tell you how often I go to places and find the majority of women wearing the standard "BLACK" dress.
Agreed, I kinda feel the same way about Danzig.
