xp: Prefer 'The Different Story' to Major Tom, especially because the video features a white horse and a man playing pan-flute, but you got there first.

my real Boingo pick would have been "Nothing Bad Ever Happens" but apparently despite there being a video it was never released as a single

65. Mysterious Art - Das Omen

for the longest time I thought Everything But The Girl and Boy Meets Girl were the same band
― Dreaded Burrito Gang (DJP), Monday, 2 May 2011 22:01 (thirteen years ago) link
66. Trio - Da Da Da
I guess they probably had more hits in Germany, and this probably wasn't even a hit until years later in the US thanks to a VW ad. I'm retroactively including it, though.

I thought it was "If you wanna ride/Then ride the white horse"
my parents were... concerned

by the way, did you know there was a Taylor Swift song called "White Horse"
I am never listening to it so that I can claim it's a cover
― Dreaded Burrito Gang (DJP), Monday, 2 May 2011 22:09 (thirteen years ago) link
ah, yeah, Kids In America. I associate that song with Kids Incorporated for some reason.

83. Falco - Rock Me Amadeus
but I think that only counts in certain countries (also I have five of his albums so)
― staph white pulvules like (Schlafsack), Monday, 2 May 2011 22:36 (thirteen years ago) link
I will be turning this into a CDR700 btw.
xp Rock Me Amadeus already accounted for fwiw
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 2 May 2011 22:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Rock Me Amadeus is a weird one too because there are about 40 different mixes/edits to pick from.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 2 May 2011 22:37 (thirteen years ago) link
also there's "Vienna Calling" and "Der Kommisar" to consider
