    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

    My dad had the single of this when I was growing up so I heard it lots. Became famous again in the 90's as the theme music behind NZ Lotto ads

    @MiketheSnow hilarious, and an awesome key change - something missing from most modern songs

    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

    Scratch the second one. Ugly Kid Joe had another big hit with Everything About You.

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

    Harry Chapin but hardly a one hit wonder. Reasonably big in the states and had two or maybe three hits in the UK. Plenty of airtime certainly.
