"Ice Ice Baby" by the one and only Vanilla Ice. What a cheese ball song that was, I still can't believe how popular it was.
Oh yea, awesome, remember that one, and how could we ever, ever forget....the 80's, the "all inclusive" decade...:p

"Sunny" by Bobby Hebb! Top 25 in 1966, then never had another hit.
Im talking obscure here. The only pure one hit wonder to make it to #1 in the U.S and U.K Zager & Evans "In The Year 2525".
