Full Episode Summary

They only did it once, but one time was the charm. Now, it's time to honor our favorite singular sensations of the '80s! VH1 is paying tribute to the lone (but unforgettable) smash hits by Reagan era stars in 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the '80s. The five part special is hosted by comedian and 30 Rock star Judah Friedlander. From "Take On Me" to "I Want Candy" to "The Safety Dance" and beyond, it's everything a totally awesome countdown should be -- featuring electronic beats, synthesizers galore, questionable haircuts and more. But this retro romp isn't just a countdown - we'll also reveal the story behind each tune and bring you up to date on what these one-time stars are doing today. The show will feature new, original interviews with the eighties best one-hit wonders - Stacey Q, Animotion, Musical Youth, Frank Stallone, Georgia Satellites, E.U., The Mary Jane Girls, Vixen, Nu Shooz, and Allana Myles are some of the artists featured.
