zeekyhbomb Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 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. thats why I put 'Maybe?' I wasn't sure if he would be considered one or not :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AThousandLies Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 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 It's a shame the maker of such an atrocity hasn't been banned from breathing ...

Bubsa Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Semisonic - Closing Time Great song Ah no way man! What about 'Secret smile'? :D Mine: Urban Cookie Collective - The Key (The Secret) Train - Drops of Jupiter Derringer - Real American Girl Thing - Last one standing (Saw these live! :D) Richard Blackwood - Who da man? (Albeit, he did have a follow up #1) Martine McCutheon - Perfect moment And a big SHABBA to Tony Christie - Amarillo! This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Ryan Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 ooh, Train - Drops of Jupiter, that's a great one, Bubsa. Doesn't count. Train - Calling All Angels, as I believ eit was called, was a huge hit for a while on the radio. They may have gone away for a while, but aren't one hit wonders.

Bubsa Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Ah, perhaps I should have mentioned these were One Hit Wonders in the UK. I gathered Train would be popular over the Atlantic. I also hear Martine McCutcheon is huge in Romania. @Ryan: "Doesn't Count"? Fine then, your Semisonic one doesn't count. Secret Smile was and still is a celebrated song here.

If you mean hits as in chart positions fair enough, but in terms of songs everyone knows, how about Voodoo Chile, All Along The Watchtower, Purple Haze and Star Spangled Banner? All classics that most people know. How about Witch Doctor by the Cartoons? There's quite a lot here. http://www.scbd.connectfree.co.uk/flops/index.html Just goes to show how many there have been, just in one decade.

I wasn't sure if he would be considered one or not :oops: Well he had more than 1 popular song. If i remember right "2 Legit 2 Quit" was another and there might of been a third that i cant remember the name of right now :oops:. And on Roy Orbison with "Pretty Woman", thats a bit like calling Deep Purple a 1 hit wonder with "Smoke on the Water" even though i dont think it charted :?. From what i found "Black Night" went UK top 3 but thats it for Purple. Anyway, "Smoke..." was far from their best song (not even top 3 on the album it came out on) but everyone and their brother knows that riff even if they may not realize who it is lol. And then they have other wellknown songs for those who are familiar with Purple and those songs would be "Highway Star", "Woman from Tokoyo", "Child in Time" etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
