OJ plays the best One Hit Wonders from the year 1988, the year of the first ever BBC Red Nose Day which raised £15 million for charity.
In this episode we hear songs from Bobby McFerrin, the supergroup of Fine Young Cannibals Andy Cox and David Steele, 2 Men A Drum Machine and a Trumpet. Plus a song originally meant for Vanessa Williams' debut album, but Pebbles got it instead.
