i saw toploader twice live and they were brilliant
and yes, dancing in the moonlight wasn't their song but i bet you it always gets the ladies dancing at any club/pub disco

Mott The Hoople - with Ariel Bender (Luther Grosvenor).
Marvellous band.

Shed Seven. They're still gigging but never really set the world alight.
Chasing Rainbows is one of the best tunes i have ever heard.

What about Paul Young - is he dead???
He had one massive album and then nothing else. Not a band in his own right, but he had a band.

Paul Young is very much alive and well. I bumped into him and his two kids in the Game shope where I live.
Seriously. No jest. I cant approach him though because the only song I know of his was "Wherever I lay My Hat" from his No Parlez album
I was a kid then and that was a long time ago. I'm not sure he would want me saying. "Hey Paul. Loved your No Parlez album. When you doing another one?"

Dredged up a few good one-hit wonders (not quite the same) but in the right area:
Feels Like Heaven by Fiction Factory
Mary's Paryer by Danny wilson
Died in Your Arms by Cutting Crew (contains the great 'twisted lyric' "must have been some kind of cheese..")

Meet Danny Wilson is a brilliant album, Bristolian.
