Favorite One Hit Wonders!!!

[KillerMuffin]

I adore that song by the Proclaimers, I would walk 500 Miles. I don't know about scotland where those sexy guys came from, but here, they only had one hit. At least in the place I was when it came out.

By the way, whats haver? Is that what they're singing, haver?

 

[*Eve*]

I would say the greatest one hit wonder band was AHa for that song take on me.

 

[Cheri]

lol My fav is the Outfield! Since you've been gone...
Actually I saw then this summer at a local free concert and you know they rocked. For a band who hasn't had a hit since the early 80's they were energetic and fun all the while trying to get the drunken audience involved! Woo-hoo!

 

[Prussian Overlord]

I've got three words for ya...

Billy Ray Cyrus

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

The greatest one hit wonder is Madonna.

(What? You thought all those songs were different?)

 

[Wizard]

REO speedwagon............Now all there songs are the same.......................

 

[Mortto56]

Golden Earring-Radar Love

Uriah Heep-Easy Livin'

I could name hundreds of them, but I will just post one for now... Come on Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners

Along with the AHa flavor, how about Simple Minds with the Don't you forget about me song.

The best, hands-down:

96 Tears - ? and the Mysterians

Tiggs, that was Soft Cell who sang Tainted Love and Cory Hart who, looking very fine, sang I Wear My Sunglasses at Night.

Can't pick just one:

Shocking Blue "Venus"
Norman Greenbaum "Spirit in the Sky"
The Archies "Sugar Sugar"
Focus "Hocus Pocus"
Whoever it was that did "Troglodyte"
The Knack "My Sharona"

I'll think of more.

Recently?----"The Way" by Fastball

I think they just released a new CD, but don't know--

 

[teresafannin]

"The Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats is my all time favorite on the one-hit wonder list. Does anyone except for me remember that song & the weird video?

 

[Purple Haze]

There was a midget in that one, yeah, I loved the early MTV stuff, like a breath of fresh air in those days. Where I live, Exposure to lots of different kinds of music doesn't exist. MTV opened doors, I don't watch it much anymore.

 

[teresafannin]

I loved MTV in the early days, back when they used to play videos, am I old or what? Another video that I liked, but very few people remember is "Cruisin'. If I remember right, it was by Michael Nesmith & featured Hulk Hogan. I wish I had a bunch of those on tape, I actually liked the 80's & most of the music.

 

[R Nitelight]

'What Do All The People Know', by the Monroes.

 

[Mackdaddy_74]

My favorite would have to be "I'm too sexy......." bt Right
