#15

Poor old Johnny Ray! I've always liked today's one-hit wonder video/song. It's just quirky and you have all these overall wearing dudes and chicks doing funny little dances and playing violins and a banjo and an accordian, and shouting out to a girl named Eileen. His thoughts verge on dirty, and for a brief time in 1982 this group with this song was at the top of the world. This song actually prevented Michael Jackson from having back to back #1 hits on the Billboard charts when it spent one week at #1 between "Billie Jean" and "Beat It."

#15 "Come On Eileen"
