The Georgia Satellites were an American rock band from Atlanta who delivered one rowdy, good-time hit in the mid-1980s. "Keep Your Hands to Yourself", released in 1986, is a swaggering, bar-band blast of boogie rock with a wry lyric about holding out for marriage, and it reached the upper reaches of the US Billboard Hot 100, a refreshing jolt of raw guitars amid the era's polished pop.
The band kept playing their no-frills roots rock, but no other song approached the reach of that breakout single.
On streaming, "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" sits near 113 million plays, while their next most-streamed track trails at around 11 million. That sends the ratio above 10, far past our 5.0 line.
By our measure The Georgia Satellites are a certified one-hit wonder. Theirs is a classic 80s rock story: a hard-working bar band who broke through with one gloriously unpretentious anthem that cut against the slick grain of its moment, then settled back into the touring life as the wider audience moved on, leaving that single rollicking hit standing far ahead of everything else they recorded.
