Mental As Anything, anyone remember these? I played the song from Crocodile Dundee last night they did 'Live it up'.
I have never seen a dance floor fill with so many 30-40 year olds so quickly! Don't think they did anything else other than this did they?
And what were the best one hit wonders. And I mean a big hit not an obscure record from the 30's Henry ;-)
I vote this as the best one hit wonder if so.

Spot on Bank Note. Horses is still in my all time top 5 albums and her version of My Generation is one the best covers ever.
Carter, didn't have charts until the 50s so no one hit wonders in the 30s. : - )
Natalie Imbruglia... Torn.
come on who can name of any of her other hits.
She had a few B, none sold as much as that one though.
'Frontier Psychiatrist' was a fiarly big hit wasn't it? Great album, more of a summer listen though!
Jon Secada - Just Another Day. Classic. Magic FM fodder but great none-the-less!
