"One Thing Leads to Another" is a song by English new wave band the Fixx, released by MCA Records in the US on 18 August 1983, followed by a UK release on 23 September 1983. It was the second of three singles taken from the group's second studio album, Reach the Beach, and is one of their most successful singles, reaching number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 in November 1983. It also peaked at number two on the Billboard Rock Top Tracks chart and became a number-one hit in Canada. Vocalist Cy Curnin has described the song as an indictment of dishonest politicians.
