Was 867-5309 a one hit wonder? I can't remember if they had any other hits. Anyways, that's a fun song.

Vanilla Ice "Ice Ice Baby!"
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.......

Actually, .......it's really it would have to be Fisher "I will love you" or Extreme's more than words" (if they were a one hit wonder.....)
I bet nobody remembers those!

I don't think Metallica is a one hit wonder band.

Tommy Tu-Tone's only hit was, in fact, Jenny(867-5309)

"And I would walk five hundred miles, and I would walk five hundred more...but I can't really be bothered"

I heart that song, and it's various mick-take versions.

Their accents are so thick, it's scary.

I hate that song. HATE. That wasn't a HIT, that was pain.


If people call Metallica a one hit wonder, I call Britney one.


But seriously... I can't think of any that haven't been mentioned, only Norwegian ones. I've got bad memory.

Metallica - St Anger

...
Metallica's new album is not even worthy of the title : " Trash ".
It's something between toxic waste, and something else much worth.


One Hit Wonders : ?
Jackson's Black And white
It sucks too much, but at that time ... it was a piece of art.

I though the sarcasm was obvious.

"When ah get drunk, well ah know ah'm gonna be, ah'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next tah you."

Another good one is the Lemon Heads' cover of "Mrs. Robinson."

The Proclaimers??!?! They're more of a 2-hit wonder...they also did "I'm on my Way"...any Canadian should know that song cause it's in one of the Molson Canadian comercials.

A few more:
The Kings - This Beat Goes on / Switch Into Glide
Free - Alright Now
Donovon - Mellow Yellow
Billy Squire - The Stroke
Strawberry Alarm Clock - Inscents and Peppermints
The Cowsills - Hair

Those guys. Led Zeppelin or whatever. They had some song called "Stairways to Heaven" or something.

We used to call The Proclaimers 'Patrick and Patrick', because they looked scarily like my best friend at the time.

Definitly Billy Squire's 'The Stroke', Tommy Tu-tone's 'Jenny', and Strawberry Alarmclock 'Insence and Peppermints'.

The Oneders' "That thing you do", taken from the movie of the same name.
