One Hit Wonders

[Hostile]

What is your favorite one hit wonder?

I have always loved this one, even though it is kind of stupid and about chess.

Whenever I think of one hit wonders, my mind naturally turns to Gilbert O'Sullivan, and the immortal "Alone Again, Naturally"...

I thought the song sucked, but it got a lot of airplay... then I had the "opportunity" to hear the album it came from, and I can tell you that I certainly understand why he was a one hit wonder...

But I think my favorite song that qualifies as a one hit wonder is Danny O'Keefe's "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blue"... great song...

I absolutely hate this song. It scared me when I was a kid and my brother used to play it all the time.

I was hoping BP would post Safety Dance and then tell his story about that song.

Touch Myself by Divinyls

Divinyls were not one hit wonders.

[SkinsandTerps]

I consider these guys on hit wonders...

[youtube]OlwRNCnsbUg[/youtube]

Love the song though.

 

[Hostile]

In my opinion one of the greatest rock songs ever. Too bad they were not bigger.

I loved the girl in the silhouette.

This song is weird as hell, but I love it.

Here's one that still makes me smile.

Living Colour, awesome band. Corey Glover had speaking lines in Platoon 'we gonna get a high high'.

Rico Suave, pure awesomeness.
