    Summary quotation from Wikipedia:

    Boys Don’t Cry are a British pop/rock band known for the hit single “I Wanna Be a Cowboy”, which peaked at #12 on the Hot 100 in 1986 and charted around the world. They are considered a one-hit wonder, though they released an EP, two albums and several singles.

    Boys Don’t Cry were discovered by Paul Oakenfold, who was a talent scout for Profile Records in London in the mid-80s.

    The single “I Wanna Be a Cowboy” was released in 1986. A novelty song with deadpan humour and kitschy references, the song has been described as the perfect musical realization of a spaghetti western movie. It hit #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #13 on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart in 1986-1987, and was R&R #8. “I Wanna Be a Cowboy” was also a top 10 hit in Australia and South Africa.
