            According to the covers project:


            Yep...not that I ever knew that.

                Pointless bit of Dexy's trivia...they had 3 hits I can think of in the UK, Geno and Come on Eileen both being number 1, and their cover of Jackie Wilson Said getting to number 5. When they performed the latter on Top Of The Pops on the Beeb the production staff for reasons that are since lost in the mists of time put up a large picture of toothless British darts player Jocky Wilson...

                ...and yet the band played on...

                    Search is over.

                    Although the last three songs were with a different lead singer.

                    ACK!
                    Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

                    • For some odd reason, I've heard the Dexy's Midnight Runners cover of Jackie Wilson Said three different times on three different local radio stations in the last year, which I find very peculiar indeed.

                            "Tom's Diner" and "Luca"

                            She is also disqualified.

                              So, which artists do you still listen to that made a single hit before disappearing?

                              I'll just rattle off a couple here that I can think of off the top of my head:

                              A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away)
                              The Verve Pipe - The Freshman
                              Lo-Fidelity Allstars - Battleflag
                              Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta
                              The Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive

                              I'm sure you all have some more than this.
                              Dammit, people! One hit wonders have to have had only one hit.

                              Flock of Seagulls had two:
                              "I Ran" and "Space Age Love Song"

                              And the Bee Gees had so damn many they are permanently disqualified.

                              • The Hooters - "Day by Day"; Their only national hit , but before they went national they were huge locally (in Philly) with a locally released album that had several great songs that radio stations played nonstop.

                                -and-

                                Donny Iris - "Ah Leah"

                                Still listening to them....
