A-ha - Take On Me 3. Roy Orbison- Pretty Woman I don't like many one hit bands...but go ahead and post your opinions on them, and your favorites.

Pete_the_Viscous Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Now, I'm not entirely sure this can be classed as a one-hit-wonder -- some sites I just looked at gave a big list of other things done by the artist; I did see it on a one-hit-wonder programme once, however. The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown -- Fire. That's a great song. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak722 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Offtopic a bit but this one I really hate. The "Mickey" song... Ive heard about it and the singer in MUCH MUSIC (I think), but thank god she only did one... I cant stand that song. Its used too much. Kinda like "Who let the dogs out"...

Whether or not he wrote some other good stuff, no one honestly knows who he is and none of his other songs ever became popular.

timmay929 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I watched a t.v. show about 1 hit wonders. #1 was The Macarena. But Eiffel 65 with that blue song is also a biggie. I'm not sure if this is one but one could be House of Pain with they're song Jump Around. I dont know if they had any other hit. 122 Combat : 99 Hits : 99 Attack : 99 Strength97/99 Defence : 99 Fletching : 99 Woodcutting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
