First (from the 70s I think) is "Brandy" by a band called Looking Glass. Never heard of those guys again, but that song is still a good one.
From the 80s, I can think of several.
1. Turning Japanese, by The Vapors
2. She Blinded Me With Science, by Thomas Dolby
3. Come On Eileen, by Dexy's Midnight Runners
4. Don't Worry, Be Happy, by Bobby McFerrin
Two other songs from the 80s that were big hits, but had to be written by someone you have never heard of:
- Pac Man Fever
- The theme song from Greatest American Hero...(Believe it or not?)
From the 90s,
- The song "Whoop, there it is" I don't know who wrote it, but I always hated it. I hope they never write another song. EVER.
