Biggest One Hit Wonder?

[Pegasus Rule]

Hahaha I totally forgot about this one...it was HUGE when I was in the 8th grade. I remeraber we always tried to figure out if he was saying anything or if it was just gibberish. We all settled on "I'm blue if I was green I would die", but it's probably just gibberish.

the mark of a band being truly crappy is when their only known song is a cover

One band I've been into a lot lately is Focus, very underrated group, amazing guitarist.

People outside of the NetherlanRAB only know them for this.

Is it bad that I enjoy that Len song? I remeraber when it first came out I was about 11 and my sister bought the single for my birthday...

As for other one hit wonders, I'd have to say The Knack - My Sharona.

Bullet with Butterfly Wings reached like 20? Does that class as a hit?

Not only was this a one hit wonder in the U.K in 1981 it is also one of my favourite tracks of all time. There probably won't be much discussion about this track but any chance I get to hear it- I am happy. I can never hear this track enough.

Choone.

 

[garysonthego]

Yeah, they were more like two hit wonders.

^it's all good. now had Journey fallen off the face of the Earth after releasing 'Don't Stop Believing' then we might have a contender for biggest one hit wonder.

although... would you believe that song peaked at #8 on the US charts?

 

[Mrs. Tracy]

Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club is probably the best pop song ever made.

No Rain by Blind Melon is also a big favorite.

 

[tick bite]

[mad skillz]

You're kidding, right?

Epitome of "READTITLEHITREPLYBUTTON" poster.

 

[mizu mitsuki]

I get tired of people slamming them because all they have actually listened to by them is "No Rain".

Go listen to Soup and then tell me they are one hit wonders. God damn.

 

[TRUTHURTS]

^ i will give you everything i own if you can get me a clip of those guys walking through Compton performing that track.

 

[CHAWWWWW]

Ahhh, this thread brings me back to my middle school days, when I'd put on muchmoremusic all the time and watch those one hit wonder specials repeatedly over and over...

A few off the top of my head:
Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance
Baltimora - Tarzan Boy
Crazytown - Butterfly
Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me with Science

just remerabered another one...
(how could this have escaped me?)

A-ha - Take On Me
