Episode #199 - True One Hit Wonders and The Greatness You Missed: Welcome to March, avid listeners! Springtime here in the states, a time of awakening and renewal as winter attempts to hold areas in her icy grip to no avail. With that in mind, we're going to visit those true one hit wonders from the 80's. While some of these bands may have had a bit of a chart showing in their home countries after a smash hit, overall they never got past the winter of their chart success. It's a shame, because these bands still had a lot to offer, which we'll share in this podcast. Enjoy! Track Listing: 1) Jackie Wilson Said (I'm In Heaven) - Dexy's Midnight Runners 2) TV - Flying Lizards 3) Mind Of A Toy 4) News At Ten - The Vapors 5) Anitina (The First Time I See Her Dance) - M.A.R.R.S. 6) Runaway - Freur 7) Babydoll - Laurie Anderson 8) Hurt - Re-Flex 9) Moonlight And Muzak - M 10) Wonderland - Big Country 11) Johnny Friendly - JoBoxers 12) John Wayne Is Big Leggy - Haysi Fantayzee 13) Six Months In by Alternative 80s
