“Boom Boom (Let's Go Back To My Room)” by Paul Lekakis

The American singer and model Paul Lekakis made his debut in 1987 with "Boom Boom (Let's Go Back to My Room)", a Hi-NRG come-on issued by ZYX and written by a team of five: Riccardo Ballerini, Michele Chieregato, Tom Hooker, Stefano Montin and Roberto Turatti. It's dance-floor candy that spells out its intentions right there in the title.

At home it got to 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 and six on the 12-inch Singles Sales chart, but it fared far better abroad: five weeks at number one on the Australian Music Report, three on top of South Africa's Springbok Radio chart, number four in Canada and seven in New Zealand. It became a favorite in the LGBT community, landed on his first album, Tattoo It, on Sire in 1990, and in 2009 VH1 ranked it 83rd among the greatest one-hit wonders of the '80s.
