Ahahah they got "4 non blondes - whats up" on that list, rofl... I love that song :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I disagree with twisted sisters only hit being "were not gonna take it"... "I wanna rock" was a pretty big hit too.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aqua- Barbie Girl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now I remember it! I had a mix tape with it a few years back!

 

 

 

It was a pretty good dance song back then. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The music vid for Barbie girl was also funny hehe. :roll:

For some reason all the one hit wonders seem to be pop/hip hop. :o

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hip Hop? :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

George Baker Selection - Little Green Bag

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think many of his other songs are so well known...

pfft @ the person who mentioned Aqua. I have two albums. They did 'Turn Back Time' for the movie 'Sliding Doors'

 

 

 

And what about Doctor Jones and Cartoon Heros both got into the UK charts. Aqua had 3 number 1's

I hope Crazy Frog is another One Hit Wonder ... or I'm going to be very angry.
He's been banned from TV until after 9pm by the TV advertising watchdog :D

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

one of the best vocalists too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

plus he's in the god dam Rock N Roll HAll of Fame...... :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

read all about him on Wikipedia

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those of us who happen to live in Lubbock, Texas would have to kill you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And don't even act like you know more about music than me. moron.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

where you talking to me on that one?

Roy Orbison is not a one hit wonder, end of discussion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rockhall.com[/url]":hbpajjav]Orbison cracked the Top Ten nine times

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rockhall.com[/url]":hbpajjav]A major star in Britain, he toured with the Beatles in 1963 and remained hugely popular there well into the next decade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And you can read much more there. Calling Roy Orbison would be the same as calling Frank Zappa a one hit wonder just because he had one single on MTV.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A one hit wonder is an 'artist' who scores one hit, then never hear anything of him again.

Almost like Hanson but compressed :P So much of a 'fad' then dead overnight :lol:

 

 

 

Best moment in history :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know many 1-hit wonders. Very maybe Eiffel 65 (Anyone remember the 'pop-hit' Blue?) but I'm not 100% sure on their popularity outside of Australia. They've had albums since but nothing enough to make it big to get back into the charts again.

Roy Orbison is not a 1 hit wonder, he is arguably one of the best romantic singers of all time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nena - 99 Luft Ballons

 

 

 

Blondie - When i think about you i touch myself

 

 

 

Unknown artist - The power of love

MC Hammer- You Can't Touch This (Maybe?

 

 

 

I think you are mistaken there, Hammer has sold millions of albums worldwide and was the first hip-hop artist to reach diamond album status. He also recorder some tracks with 2pac, which are yet to be released.

 

 

 

While MC Hammer is often used as a joke example of a "one hit wonder" he certainly wasnt one of them.

The Final Countdown is brilliant.

 

 

 

Rockin' All Over The World isn't even Quo's biggest hit.

How about Fast Food Rockers - The Fast Food Song

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the final countdown was catchy but queer.
