Or even this one;



^ At least I remember that being around quite a lot back in the day as well. They're not really what I'd call a one hit wonder then.

Meph1986 04-22-2010 08:07 PM

Not the biggest by any means but still...


RVCA 05-12-2010 03:26 PM

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


mr dave 05-12-2010 04:33 PM

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

TheBig3 05-21-2010 08:40 PM

I'll do it through Little Compton.

nylonsmile 05-21-2010 10:42 PM

I'm sure Vanilla Ice has been mentioned by now, right?

The music video is so cheesy too, LOL. Even though the lyrics are as well, overall, the song is just so bad it's good in a guilty pleasure way....

LOL @ the dance moves, so hilarious ^____^

Flower Child 05-21-2010 10:55 PM

My pick:

Play that Funky Music White Boy - Wild Cherry

Everybody knows the song. Nobody knows who sings it.

Tommy Tutone – Free listening, videos, concerts, stats, & pictures at Last.fm

And the song that dominated High School talent shows of the 90s


The song came out in 2003

Seltzer 05-22-2010 08:31 PM

Hmm I like that Steal My Sunshine song actually... it's dreamy, happy and insouciant. Reminds me of better times.


This was a massive one-hit wonder.

Actually their first top 10 single Go Wild In The Country charted higher than this one.

The Only Ones- "Another Girl, Another Planet"

Everyone only knows the blink or 'shambles version... no one pays attention to the lot that originally did it!


Zer0 05-23-2010 03:33 PM

^^^Great song right there. Actually you should hear The Replacements' version, it's top quality.

prof_putnic 05-24-2010 12:46 PM

Scarlett O'Hara 05-25-2010 04:15 AM

Ok it's so this one:


FETCHER. 05-25-2010 10:11 AM

Heard this today, HA!


RVCA 05-25-2010 10:41 AM

Avril also had "Complicated", so I guess she was a 2-hit wonder.

glimpse of magic 05-25-2010 08:49 PM

avril lavigne has had plenty of hits ans she's stil laround . She's from being a one or even two hit wonder.

glastonelle 05-31-2010 12:14 AM

Sir Mix-a-Lot - Baby Got Back

Such an awesome song, but seriously, what happened to that guy? He was the man.

prof_putnic 05-31-2010 04:44 AM

Only recently heard of sir mix alot on jamster

FETCHER. 06-01-2010 07:43 AM

Well I can't remember any of her other songs except sk8r boi, so... there.

alltherowboats 08-07-2010 11:32 PM

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

A-ha - Take On Me

DoctorSoft 08-08-2010 12:02 AM

^ Take On Me is seriously a great song.

:shycouch:

It should have escaped you because A-Ha is not a one-hit wonder group. They were popular enough to get to make the song "The Living Daylights" for the James Bond movie with the same name after all. ;)

This raises the question: where the hell else would sandcastles be except in the sand.

+81 08-20-2010 02:16 AM

Just like "There's gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in this town". I wonder where.

Haha, that is a dumb line, but I like that song.

This is one of my favorite one hit wonders

Falco-Rock me Amadeus

I scrolled through the last 12 pages, and can't believe nobody has mentioned this guy.
