    Goodness, I don't remember them or the song! You may have stumped a few of us.

    I took the romantic route this week, but enjoyed reminiscing with “Mickey” and other great one-hit wonders from the 1980’s.

    Happy OSF!

    Good choice. But they were actually two hit wonders, with the remake of Bill Wither's "Lean On Me" also on their roster. I love the video.

    Nope...didn't remember them. Good pick - happy OSF.

    Hope you get a chance to stop by SjP's for one of my favority One Hit Wonders.

    Happy OSF sis! I remember them quite well but more for "Lean On Me." Although I did like Why You Treat Me So Bad as well.

    Have a great weekend!

    Yep, I remember this one and I remember the video! I always thought the dude in face paint and feathers was scary...he still is!
    Nice pick!

    Hey Marvalus.

    Oh yes I DO remember Club Nouveau. And I remmeber that song too, which was seriously cool. Had a different kinda feel to it than a lot of other songs out around that time, which made it unique. Yeah, I like that one.

    Good choice! And sorry, I musta checked out the OSF assignment for today a little too early, so I kinda fell back on da funk...

    You know I don't need an excuse, dontcha?

    Happy OSF! I actually do remember Club Nouveau. Great choice...

    peace, Villager

    I remember them. I wonder where are they now?
  • sHaE-sHaE · 1 year ago
    Definitely two hit wonders, but good choice nonetheless. :smile:

    I honestly hardly new any of the one hit wonders I looked up. lol There were a few of course but generally it was difficult.

    This is nice though I've never heard it.

    Like Pjazzy and Shae-Shae said, Club Nouveau are members of the two-hit wonder club. "Why You Treat Me So Bad" is a forgotten gem from the 80s though.
  • invisiblewoman · 1 year ago
    Lean On Me, Rumors, Why You Treat Me So Bad. 3 hit wonders in the West, fo sho.

    i haven't done 'OSF' in a minute, but i will resume one day soon. in fact i have not been here in some time either and you will have to forgive me for that :-) as far the video, i am only familiar with club nuveau's 'lean on me' and though i have heard the song that you posted, i didn't know it was done by them.
