Thread: One Hit Wonders

  1. #1

    Default One Hit Wonders

    Well, with One Hit Wonders on VH1 Classic slowly becoming my personal guilty pleasure, I thought it was only appropriate that we have this thread.

    So, what are some of your favorite one hit wonders? Take On Me by A-ha is playing right now. That's one of my secret favorite songs. Also You Get What You Give by the New Radicals.

    Yeah, most of the one hit wonders I like are cheesy '80s and '90s, but, whatever.

    They had two other minor hits, but "One Toke Over the Line" takes the cake with me. My musical partner toured with Brewer and Shipley during the 70's.

    It makes me sad that The New Radicals broke up because no one cared about any of their other songs. My sister had their CD and there was some pretty good, creative stuff on there. It's a shame.

    I love Nena! My all time fav. though is Groove is In The Heart by Dee Lite <333

    "Beauty is a perception tainted by ego;
    Love is an extension of great emotion;
    Fear is the result of uncertainty;
    Sadness is a collection of misery."

    That's because "I Touch Myself" was by The DiVinyls Albeit they can sound like Blondie.

    I would have to separate them by decades...
    50's - "Rockin Robin" - Bobby Day
    60's - "Happy Together" - The Turtles
    70's - "Spirit In The Sky" - Norman Greenbaum
    80's - "Relax" - Frankie Goes To Hollywood
    90's - "Epic" - Faith No More
    00's - "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" - Eiffel 65
