I was watching VH1's one-hit wonder special again recently, and as I always do when faced with Martika's "Toy Soldiers" (which I can't stand), I thought out loud: I know that she had another hit out before that song. One that I actually liked. What the hell was that?
For some reason, even though I always ask myself this question, I forget all about it about five minutes later and never bother looking it up. Strange, because stuff like that will usually eat away at me until I have the answer. I guess Martika's discography just isn't that important to me.
But since I was drawing a blank for this week's vid, I finally checked into that mystery Martika tune. The song is called "More Than You Know," and I immediately remembered more of it than I thought I knew. Maybe you guys will too. Enjoy.

Blech. It's right up there with Feliz Navidad.
Video may have killed Dan Fogelberg, but it sure as heck is a great place for Martika.
I hated that Eminem used a loop of her Toy Soilders in his awful song..can't remember the title at this second..but you know what I'm talking about right??
Check out the Prince-penned 'Love, thy Will be Done' and the utterly ridiculous 'Martika's Kitchen'. They're absolute classics.
I'd love to know what criteria VH-1 is using for their one-hit wonder specials. If Martika is watching these specials, I can hear her saying, "I know my career wasn't all that VH-1, but I did have 4 hits!"
