OJ plays the best One Hit Wonders from the year 1984, when the halfpenny was withdrawn from circulation, Cilla Black debuted Surprise, Surprise, and the highest grossing movie in the UK was Ghostbusters.

This episode features songs from Nena, Snowy White and a very comical version of Hole In My Shoe by Neil from The Young Ones.

How many One Hit Wonders do you remember from over the years? The songs from artists who were huge in the charts... but only managed it once!
