    @MiketheSnow Never heard that before and after 22 seconds I’m pleased that I hadn’t. Was that really a hit?

    Maybe the criteria should be more global than regional. Some interesting crap as well as some gold in here though.

    I know “tainted love” by Soft cell was mentioned earlier but that was a remake, so does that count? They made a hit but didn’t write it.

    A couple that haven't been mentioned.

    There is a connection to Tool in this band. I enjoyed it when it was released for the comic value.

    Their one hit was a cover

    Was I hate everything about you a hit?

    No. 1 in the UK like a lot of these one-off songs. Normally around Christmas time or a major event.

    TBF the UK chart is hardly regional. The number of records sold backs that up.

    Soft Cell covered 'Tainted Love' for a hit, but had other hits too so doesn't meet the one hit measure

    “Cats n the cradle” was also a remake of a 1974 top 100 hit by some one hit wonder.

    This made it to #4 in UK and #2 in Australia so counts as a one hit wonder I guess. Featuring much better known comedian these days Tony Hawks

    A different song to "I Hate Everything About You", therefore my confusion.

    For some the overseas members who don't know what NZ music was like in the early 80's - this made it to number 1
