It’s a true 80s’ jam and one of the best one-hit wonder anthems ever. The song is memorable from its punchy, power-chord laden guitar to the raspy “I Got It, I Got It,” lyrics. Though the band had two tracks reach the top 40, this song reached No. How would you like to be Jenny and have everyone in the world know your phone number? Long before the days of cell phones, Tinder, Snapchat and Instagram, Tutone had this 1981 hit. Along with 'Surfin' Bird' by The Trashmen, the most iconic of all West Coast garage rock. Jon: I nearly included this on my list, both as a one-hit wonder and one of the greatest singles in history. It’s the Surfaris only hit, and one of the most recognizable surf anthems ever. In fact, other legendary surf rock groups like The Ventures have covered the song.

I’d be willing to bet everyone has heard this song whether it be via a TV show, movie, radio or a local cover band. At the risk of sounding dated, I still have the 'Sharona' picture sleeve 45, purchased soon after it was released. Jon: I dare not speak a word against The Knack and this enduring single, but will concur that 'Good Girls Don't,' with its Lennon-ish harmonica, is equally as classic. However, it’s “My Sharona” that is the band’s signature hit, and often considered a one-hit wonder. In fact, the Knack’s “Good Girls Don’t” reached No. Released in 1979, the song is one of three top-40 hits. Time to go back to the late 70s for this sing-along that featured driving, palm-muted guitar and a stuck-in-your-head all day chorus. Jon: See my take on 'Steal My Sunshine' and add in a dash of 'annoying.' Everyone knows Rita, Jessica and Sandra thanks to Bega. The song is catchy and combines Latin pop, jazz and dance influences. It’s Bega’s only top-50 track, and was one of the most-played songs on top-40 radio that summer. Speaking of 90s’ pop, German pop artist Lou Bega introduced us to a bunch of his gal pals with this 1999 track. I graciously will reject this selection as being overplayed and dated sounding. Jon: It's hard to dislike this song, but after spin number 10,000, the endearment begins to wear thin. It’s catchy, and unique having been inspired by 80s new wave like “Don’t You Want Me Baby” by Human League and 70s disco like “More, More, More” by Andrea True Connection. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the lone hit for the Canadian group. As a 90s’ kid, I’d be remiss not to list Len’s summer-time, bubblegum anthem.

That honor would be split between 'Space Age Love Song,' 'Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You),' 'The More You Live, the More You Love' and 'Modern Love is Automatic' - all superior examples of melodic new-wave synth pop. Jon: This may be the Flock's sexiest and trendiest song, but in my opinion, it's not even their strongest.
