Chevy Van by Sammy Johns Is a very special favorite of mine. Custom Vans were popular during ky college years. I don’t see it listed here. ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > Yeah, it looks like “Beds are Burning” was the only one to hit the Hot 100, but I remember Forgotten Years, Blue Sky Mine, Truganini, and King of the Mountain getting play on the alternative stations here (WXRT and Q101) back in the day. Looks like all of those hit top 5 on the Alternative Charts. I’m actually a bit surprised neither “Blue Sky Mine” nor “Truganini” made the Hot 100, as I’ve heard them loads (and I don’t own a single Midnight Oil album. I did see them live in Tasmania, though, back in the summer of '93.) > > So if “Louie Louie” is withdrawn, I’ll replace that vote with one for Midnight Oil and Beds are Burning. The B&W portions of the video for “King of the Moutain” was filmed in front of the Exxon Building, a few months after the Exxon Valdez disaster.

I haven’t seen “The Cheater” by Bob Kuban and the In-Men on here. Sadly, the tragic death of their singer, Walter Scott Notheis, has received almost as much press as their music has.

I’d like to second Dream Academy’s Life in a Northern Town and Modern English’s I Melt with You. For the latter I’d like to emphasize the original radio version as depicted in the Valley Girl soundtrack like God intended, not the weird version with the missing chorus vocal track that inadvertently made it on a compilation disc that radio stations use to play it today. Boo I say! ---

They had a long career and sold a lot of albums, but had only one top 40 single in the U.S. Still doesn’t make them one hit wonders: a one hit wonder is an act whose _only cultural, musical or historical presence_ is a single chart hit, and who are \*only remembered \*for that hit.

If the standard is US charts for the purposes of this poll, then I goofed by nominating **Ultravox**. They had multiple hits in the UK, but zero in America. **The Wallflowers** , who had multiple top 40 hits, don’t count as one hit wonders. ---
