Re: One Hit Wonders!
How about "You Are The Woman" by Firefall?That has to be one of the worst records ever made! I believe they were "one hit wonders," but are STILL playing live! Here's a video from 2008 that's even worse than the record!
GA_googleFillSlot("336x280_2_ROS");
Sure looks like they're having fun, huh? Gag!Ern

Re: One Hit Wonders!
I think both of these were One Hitters, I'm thinking there are probably bazillions of these... Question is, I'm not sure why. I'd bet there is an interesting biz or band story behind each.Spirit In The SkyRide Captain RideKeith
I hear the voice of God in a bending guitar string!

Re: One Hit Wonders!
This was a cracker:Love grows (where my Rosemary goes) by Edison Lighthouse.Some interesting facts at the bottom of the clip.
I put the kettle on, it didn't suit me.

Re: One Hit Wonders!
Oh and yeah, here's one by The Pipkins:"Gimme Dat Ding".Features Tony Burrows, who sang the previous "Love Grows (where my Rosemary goes), and is credited with singing lead on hit singles for more groups than any other recording artist, both on the UK singles charts and the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.He holds the record of fronting three different acts in one edition of Top of the Pops.The song also features Roger Greenaway.
