How about Olivia's "I Honestly Love You"? The cruel thing about that one, is unlike this one putting the hint of the infidelity right up front, Olivia's song saved it for the end. I was just so nice for so long, and then you realize she's talking about wishing she could be unfaithful. Coincidentally, a girl and I were making goo-goo eyes at each other across a restaurant when this song was accidentally playing, when I think I was in junior high. It was true, there she was with hers, and there I was with mine. We both were very timely with it, because we would both eat at the same time, which required us looking another direction, and when we got through with that, we would pause to let it go down, and resume goo-goo eyes. This made me always want to go back to that restaurant, but for some reason dad never took us back there. I don't think their prices were too high, and it was digestible to me, for we had ate there before, and I think dad would have actually gone there again if he realized I sort of picked somebody up there, but the odds of us both being there the same time again, were probably long anyway. I can still see her sitting there. Imagine you're me, and this is going on as I Honestly Love You was being played. The timing couldn't had been better.

"In Cars" by: Gary Neumann is another good one hit wonder..... You would also like "Amadeus" by: Falco....and, "Der Komissar" by: After the Fire. But, I'd love to see you react to the only one hit wonder in America, that is sung in German...."99 Luftballons" by: Nena. You'll love all of these!!!

I attended Catholic schools and this song was played a lot at school dances. We used to smirk because it was obvious that the Nuns didn't actually listen to the lyrics (if they had done so there would have been no music at all!).

@@decristo1021 A fellow Catholic school survivor! Our Nuns staged a raid (complete with video camera - huge, heavy camera (1 of the first type of camera) on McDonald's which was across the street from our campus (and was up the street from the all boys school) because of the flirting. Our Nuns wore the full tropical white habit (Hawaii) and they caused such a scene that the students both schools were banned from McDonald's for 2 months. Honestly, it was like a scene from a full scale police raid. They did this, but missed the lyrics from so many songs that were played at dances. They did go around making certain that we were not plastered together during slow dances and that our skirts were not too short (miniskirts were in).
