Tequila. No one ever knows who sang it but everyone knows all the words to it.

 

[Hardline]

I never understood why this band didn't skyrocket in popularity.

 

[kskboys]

Nobody.

 

[cityochamps]

Tequila. No one ever knows who sang it but everyone knows all the words to it.

Pee Wee Herman, right?

[Montanalo]

"Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners

 

[kskboys]

Since Clint Eastwood only sang one country song, albeit w/ a legend, is that a one hit wonder?

 

[triplets_93]

The song you Love to Hate!!!

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Pee Wee Herman, right?

That's the best version for sure. I went to a silly karaoke night event not long ago and there were quite a few bikers there. This whole group kept giving this big tattooed up biker dude a hard time about getting up to sing and you could tell he didn't want to. Finally he said yes and walked up on stage. The DJ asked if he needed the lyrics up on the video screen and he said no that he knew ALL the words. He then proceeded to stand dead still and stone faced while Tequila played and only uttered the word tequila for the 3 times it's actually used in the song. I thought it was brilliant.

Haha, me too. Had the record. Always wondered who Billy Chin and Sammy Chong were though.

I did buy the album and it's pretty decent throughout but most only heard this one...



always tops my "one hit wonder" list...

Tequila. No one ever knows who sang it but everyone knows all the words to it.

Pee Wee Herman, right?

The original version.

 

[jazzcat22]

Way too many to list. But this comes to mind, because of one of those drug pushing commercials stole the music to it.

It's magic, by Pilot.
