Oh you bet -- "Safety Dance" was a top 10 smash in the USA. I think the group was Canadian -- I might still have that album on tape somewhere, I think it was actually pretty good. Very minimalist compared to today's pop that's for sure. I remember another song called "Living In China" . . .
The Flock of Seagulls had a huge hit with "I Ran" but nothing else by them was ever very popular. (I bet that recent VH1 reunion show will make them a lot more popular now though.)
They're both classic examples of 80's "one-hit wonders" I'd say.
