One Hit Wonders

[KristianJ]

The breakfast radio show that I listened to this morning dedicated the show to playing one hit wonders of the past decades - songs by great groups such as Wham!, Los del Rio and Timbuk-3 (sp?). It made me want to ask you all to consider the best one hit wonder song you've ever listened to, and to balance the scale, the worst that you've ever listened to.

Chumbawamba- Tubthumping

^This is my second favorite. The best is........

Soft Cell- "Tainted Love"

 

[Arwen Undomiel]

Or the one that just came up on my playlist - Tin Tin, Kiss Me.

"Kiss me with your mou-ou-outh, your love is better than wine. But wine is all I ha-a-ave, will your love ever be mine?"

Yeesh, I could have gone longer without hearing that song again.

"Kiss me with your mou-ou-outh, your love is better than wine. But wine is all I ha-a-ave, will your love ever be mine?"

That is the definition of "classic."

I have a soft spot in my heart for "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora, but I think my favorite one hit wonder is "Spirit in the Sky" by [size=-1]Norman Greenbaum[/size].

For worst, I'll go with "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus.

Aw, come on, that song makes me laugh! It can't be toooooo bad, eh?

For favourite one-hit-wonder: that's a tough call. One I really like is "Back to Life" by Soul2Soul.

I like the first one.

Did Ween get any more than "Push the Little Daisies" on the charts in the US, because I dislike that song as much as any I've ever heard. As for best, "No Rain" by Blind Melon would be right up there. That's the only song of theirs I've ever heard, but it's a good one.

hahah what about Barbie Girl? By Aqua... that was pretty horrible.
Oh and what about the Macarana? Relax? hahaha Frankie Goes to hollywood... wow there are some terrible ones out there

Really? I think the song is hilarious. Ween's been around a long time, not sure if that's their only hit or not.

Oh, come on! Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood is one of the best songs from the 80's.

I enjoyed Barbie Girl quite a bit. I also thought it was hilarious that Mattel actually sued Aqua. Talk about not being able to take a joke.

The only thing that song was good for, was as hypnotic music in Zoolander

I hated the original, but the powerman 5000 cover of that song was awesome!

Sadly people over here liked Aqua more than that shameful piece of music. And the two different, yet very much the same, versions of the Macarena
