She had two smaller hits after 'Mickey' called 'Shoppin From A to Z' and 'Over My Head'. They are just so cheesy, I love 'em all [:D]

'Nobody' charted in the top 60 here but not what you would call a hit.

"I Eat Cannibals Part 1" - Toto Coelo - What about Draculas Tango?!
"I Want Candy" - Bow Wow Wow - Think they maye have done better in the UK (Wild in the Country may have even charted here in Aus?)
"Safety Dance" - Men Without Hats - From my knowlege MWOH were quite big elsewhere in the world . but agreed OHW in Aus!
"Shiny, Shiny" - Haysi Fantayzee - what about John Wayne is Big Leggy and Sister friction (Sister friction definately got airplay in Aus and am pretty sure JWIBL charted in the UK)
"Come On Eileen" - Dexys Midnight Runners - What about Geno and their cover of Jackie Wilson Says?
Most of the above songs can all I guess be classed as OHW in some part of the world... but I am still after those truely 100% One Hitters.
Linking to the Aus Thread Machman, what about "What about me" by Moving Pictures?.. i can't recall if they scored with anything else, can you?

I agree on your thread above TM but they weren't hits for them just single releases with not a lot of airplay. Hence why I mentioned them. OHW will be relative as to where they were released etc. [;)] But nice pointing out TM! You know ur stuff!!![8D]
