Best known for their 1982 hit 'Safety Dance'

Why they might be annoying:

Although they are a two hit wonder, they're really only remembered for 'Safety Dance.'
When nothing else they released came close to the success of that one hit, they called it quits (1991).
They pioneered the use of dwarves in music videos ('Safety Dance' video).
'Safety Dance' had ridiculous lyrics and an even more ridiculous video.
They are confused with Men at Work.
Their 2003 comeback album, 'No Hats Beyond This Point,' flopped.

Why they might not be annoying:

'Safety Dance' was a huge hit.
Their release 'Pop Goes the World' also charted (1987).
They had a very catchy and rememberable name.
