Didn't Haircut100 also have a hit with Fantastic day?

[TheTvstuff]

@bladesmark1 oh es, how I love that song still. but maybe it wasn't a big hit in the US?..

[illumin8er09]

need part 3 and 9 and 16 please dude i love it thx 4 posting.

[TheTvstuff]

@illumin8er09 you're welcome and trust me, I want them to be available too but they'll be so only when I find a nerd friend who can cut it down for me. or when YouTube increases the time limit to 20 minutes per video.

:( let's stay positive. a wise man one time said it's nice and even a MUST to have something to look forward to :))

[shrooms85]

@TheTvstuff send it to me over e-mail and if there's a problem, yo, i'll solve it.

[TheTvstuff]

@shrooms85 but I can't possibly attach something that BIG to an e-mail man...no one can. it won't attach..

#95:  That was an amazing song. I love this countdown!

[TheTvstuff]

@pimps1986 Oh, that's another GREAT one.

[discoqueendivas]

is frank Stallone related to sylvester Stallone?

[hoosierteacher]

I think Frank Stalone sang "Its a long road", the theme to First Blood. Not a hit, but a real good song IMO.

[ThomarioPolitics]

terrible stuff

[ThePolypsBand]

Does anyone else think of Smashing Pumpkins/Billy Corgan when they saw Midnight Oil?

#92 - Also don't remember it.

#91 - I remember Gloria Loring as being the lady who sang the Facts Of Life theme song. Um, no, the song wasn't about f-buddies or friends with benefits. I could be seriously wrong, but I don't think anyone back then even thought that.

#90 - Don't really remember it, but it sounds like a good tune!

#89 - I loved Rodney Dangerfield. RIP. Still miss him. Not 'the first white rapper', tho - see Blondie's Rapture.

(btw, I wonder how VH-1 is defining 'one hit wonder'? Even in the US Billboard Top 100, Midnight Oil had at least one other hit in the 80s - The Dead Heart - which hit no.53 in 1986)

#94 - Love this tune! Some of the commentary is stupid, though. It's a remake, people!

#93 - Don't remember it. Interesting that there are two versions of the same band (presumably with the same name?) touring the nostalgia circuit. Wonder who gets to sing the song?

[territorygal]

#96 - Only vaguely remember this tune. It sounds like they've done well for themselves since then, so good on 'em.

#95 - Oh gawd, don't get me started on Peter Garrett. Yes, he is Australia's Minister for the Environment (and has been since 2007), but he did not "put his money where his mouth is"; in fact, he is considered one of the biggest sell-outs ever. He was involved in two very high-profile scandals that caused widespread calls for his resignation. Ugggh.
