OJ plays the best One Hit Wonders from the year 1988, the year of the first ever Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Red Nose Day which raised Β£15 million for charity.

In this episode we hear songs from Bobby McFerrin, the supergroup of Fine Young Cannibals Andy Cox and David Steele, 2 Men A Drum Machine and a Trumpet. Plus a song originally meant for Vanessa Williams' debut album, but Pebbles got it instead.

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!
