Memorable one hit wonders

[Muban]

Listening to random stuff on You Tube today and I came across some old one hit wonders. The strange thing is despite them only having that one song I still remembered every word - that's not to say all of them were good! ;)

DiVinyls - I Touch Myself (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zTneO6UgRuM)

Nu Shooz - I Can't Wait (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XR3zteEKAFg)

The Knack - My Shorona (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vg5fav3FMQA)

The Vapours - Turning Japanese (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qb5Ii0iIcXo)

Belouis Some - Imagination (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7VXlSiaVXMg).....a bit NSFW, I remember this was a video banned by the BBC ;D

Timbuk3 - The Futures So Bright (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wvIAyxpjEuc)

I will no doubt get some people telling me they had loads of hits in France or were big in Japan. But I think generally most people wouldn't be able to name many more songs by them :p

Who are your most memorable one hit wonders? Can you tell I am after silly songs to sing along to? :) :D

[Del Lardo]

Mr Blobby (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h37KQu64RY4)

Worth it for the cameo 30 seconds in.

I was going to suggest The Firm - Star Trekkin' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCARADb9asE) for all the wrong reasons, but it appears they had two hits. :shocked:

Utter garbage.... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1foGOIJI6g)

[Psymonkee]

That's it! :)

Babylon Zoo...my sister bought that single and put it on constant repeat for about 3 billion years :(

[A Place of Light]

HN9cCCxErpw

Possibly my favorite 80's tune.

The Passions - I'm in love with a german film star.

[Nutcase]

Joe Dolce What's the matter you, eh?
New Radicals, You get what you give.
Queen - oh hang on, they're one-hit-after-another-wonders :D

[A Place of Light]

Will Powers (Ithink....) Kissing With Confidence..

and whoever sang 'Male Stripper'

Man2Man meets Man Parrish I think.

[A Place of Light]

The Joe Dolce music theatre.....which I believe is the track that kept "Vienna" by Ultravox from hitting the number one spot.

[Nutcase]

New Radicals?

Edit: Cheat :p


lol, it came to me as soon as I hit post :p

[Roberta]

Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe by Whale.

Still love it.

Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe by Whale.

Still love it.
Me too... I had forgotten about that one, I used to play it to death :)

[BBx]

The one and only! :D

I met Chesney Hawkes - smug @ Dee :D

BB x

[Will]

Europe - Final Countdown (they probably did other singles, but that's the only one I know!)

[A Place of Light]

/ you're SO RIGHT!

I'm not bad with the tune/artist thing, mon ami.
I DJ'd for a while and it kinda sticks with you.

The downside is when I hear a tune, it absolutely kills me if I can't remember the artist.

[A Place of Light]

Europe - Final Countdown (they probably did other singles, but that's the only one I know!)

No wai?

And I had you down as a man of taste :p

[Will]

I never said it was a good song, it's memorable though ;)

[Justsomebloke]

The Knack - My Shorona (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vg5fav3FMQA)

:D

Used to drive my Big sister Sharronne Mental with this when a kid :evil: Loads of head banging getting in her face Shouting the tune,
Thanks for the memory :cool:


Da da da da da DA da da da da da DA MY SHARRONNAAAAAAAAA ;D;D;D

[Pumpkinstew]

And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffanies?
She said I think I remember the film

Deep Blue Something (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=BcmH1LdPNKA)

My mate at uni used to wheel this out whenever he was too drunk to play anything else properly. And Eagle Eye Cherry (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=s00Kgm-Kjic) (another one hit wonder). When you heard that coming out of his room you knew he was trying to bed whoever was in there with him ;D

Can't forget this one. Take a slighly odd little tune about a Bollywood star and get Norman Cook to play it at the wrong speed and you get ... Brimful of Asha (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=XniTypXFje4&feature=related)... on the 45!

[Pumpkinstew]

Belouis Some - Imagination (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7VXlSiaVXMg).....a bit NSFW, I remember this was a video banned by the BBC ;D


I know this one! But I know the cover by Harry (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MZrYDwNe5Ek). Which was alos a one hit wonder and has a slightly NSFW sexy video.

[Kell_ee001]

DiVinyls - I Touch Myself (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zTneO6UgRuM)

When I went to Cuba Cuba every week clubbing I always had this played :D

[Muban]

You saucy Minx!! ;)

[Kell_ee001]

Just don't get me started talking about my velvet roped stage ;D
