BlueSkies March 19, 2023 Share March 19, 2023 (edited) All right the last couple videos I posted here were from the 80's. So while I love that music it was a little ahead of my time so I wasn't totally sure if these acts/bands had other hits. The ones I posted were just the songs I knew. This song came out when I started in high school. I still recall it on TRL every now and then. Now this band I honestly could say I've heard or know NOTHING about since this song came out. But the song is still quite popular. It's a good song though. And I still recall Marilyn Manson being annoyed!

They did have another one that got a bit of radio airplay back in the day that I really like as well: There was a cover of the above song that might be more familiar to some people done by Mandy Moore and Jonathan Foreman - I think this version got a little more airplay due to its use in A Walk to Remember: 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61985-the-one-hit-wonders-topic/page/2/#findComment-7922702
