One Hit Wonders

Recommended Posts

Discuss your favorite one hit songs and one hit bands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of my personal favorites are...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Haddaway - What is Love

 

 

 

2. 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.

well he wrote other good songs such as blue bayou, love hurts, crying, only the lonely, in dreams.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

one of the best vocalists too.

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"...

One Hit Wonder.....Normally is when you know a song really well, but you have no idea who wrote it or performed it. In this case, Roy Orbison.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Either way he has a One Hit Wonder...and none of his other stuff is known very well.

a one hit wonder is when an artist does a kick [wagon] song but cant follow it up which leads to their ultimate demise

Exactly. 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. He only had one really popular song, and the song didn't even get his name out.

I bet you dont even know who Mac Davis or Buddy Holly are. You cannot claim to be a fan of Rock unless you know who Buddy Holly is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love living here, its like the birthplace of Rock and Roll.

Okay, calm down. Why not just discuss Lou Bega instead of arguing at each other?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I liked Mambo No. 5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really wish he came out with something just as catchy though.

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.
