Oh Yeah! One Hit Wonder Wednesday on The Night Shift -1985

It's another One Hit Wonder Wednesday on the Night Shift with Craig Allen starting at 7 p.m. on 98.7 WFGR.

The last few weeks we've been taking a journey of the one hit wonders of the 1980s and this week we focus on 1985.

'TIL TUES - VOICES CARRY: Aimee Mann is the lead singer of this Boston rock band. "Voices Carry" would go top 10 reaching #8 in April of 1985. Aimee would go solo with a single in 1995 and was no longer solo in 1997 marrying Michael Penn of "No Myth" fame in 1997.

DREAM ACADEMY - LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN: Grand Rapids is a northern town and the intro of this song just sounds like fall. This pop rock band is from England. "Life In A Town" reached #7 around Thanksgiving of 1985.

SCRITTI POLITTI - PERFECT WAY: As you may have predicted, the name of the band translates to Political Writings in Italian (even though the band is from England). "Perfect Way" hit #11 this week in 1985.

BALTIMORA - TARZAN BOY: Oddly enough, the lead singer, Jimmy McShane, isn't from Baltimore, Maryland, but rather Northern Ireland. The song was on the chart twice - #13 in November of 1985, and reissued again in 1993 after being featured in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.

YELLO - OH YEAH: This song could be right out of an episode of Michael Myers' Sprockets on SNL. The computer-synch duo from Switzerland is lead by Dieter and Boris. Of course you know the song from being featured in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
