One-hit wonders of '89? Kill me now
Let's face it: By the year 1989, all the truly great music was long-gone, and we were all staring the 90s straight in the face. That's right, a decade of choreographed stage shows, nonsensical lyrics and musicians who couldn't find an interesting beat if you gave them a $10 bill, some Pabst Blue Ribbon and a funnel.
So it's with great trepidation and all-out fear and loathing that Stuck in the 80s is going to cover the one-hit wonders of 1989 in this week's show. You can expect me to be spitting up bile, cursing the sky and screaming into pillow as I cry myself to sleep for a week after we're done recording.
In the meantime, look over some of the songs that music websites have deemed as one-hit wonders of that year, and let me know what you like and what songs are missing.
