Answer: "Funkytown"

"Funkytown" (1980) was Lipps Inc's second single, and their only big hit, big enough to reach number one in 28 countries, a record that wouldn't be surpassed until Madonna scored in 41 countries in 2005 with "Hung Up".

Van Halen's most successful song, "Jump" was from the 1983 album "1984" (Got that?). Eddie Van Halen wrote most of the music for the song and David Lee Roth wrote the lyrics. There was disagreement between them about the song and it eventually led to Roth leaving the band.

Echoing 1970s disco beats, "Vogue" was a trendsetting song for dance clubs in the 1990s. It was released as a single from Madonna's 1990 album "I'm Breathless". The music video for the song won three awards at the 1990 MTV Music Video Awards.

9. J. Geils Band

Answer: "Centerfold"

Boston's J. Geils Band had their only number one hit with "Centerfold" in 1981. It was from the album "Freeze Frame", from which a song of the same name became their second-best selling song.
10. Los Del Rio

Answer: "Macarena"

Los Del Rio are a Spanish duo who got an international hit (as well as a dance craze) in 1995 with "Macarena". It became one of only six foreign language songs to top the "Billboard Hot 100". "Billboard" also named it number seven on their "All Time Top 100".

In 2002, music channel VH1 called it the "#1 Greatest One-Hit Wonder of All Time". The song and dance continue to be performed on the dance floors at wedding receptions everywhere.
