For all you born AFTER the 80s. You know these, cause these are CLASSICS. Now, in the 90s or 2000s there's so many less songs that last even a year. You won't know them at all, but you know these. Think about it.

Is there an 80's 1 hit wonder. Soft Cell would qualify - must be referring to their brain.

Replace Soft Cell - Tainted Blood with Go-Go's. HUGE in the 80's, as well as Billy Idol, Def Leppard and a slew of others!

Fun fact: Don't Worry be Happy is the only a cappella song ever to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Now, I know some of you immediately will argue that it's not a cappella but go listen to it. It's all McFerrin. The man is incredibly talented.
