Memorable one hit wonders

Muban · 27-09-2008, 21:29

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

Nu Shooz - I Can't Wait

The Knack - My Shorona

The Vapours - Turning Japanese

Belouis Some - Imagination.....a bit NSFW, I remember this was a video banned by the BBC

Timbuk3 - The Futures So Bright

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

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

Mr Blobby

Worth it for the cameo 30 seconds in.

I was going to suggest The Firm - Star Trekkin' for all the wrong reasons, but it appears they had two hits.

You can tell that I'm going through my naff single collection here.

This is dreadful
Not as good as the original
Just naff
just complete crap
Utter garbage....
two old perverts....

I kinda liked this one...

That's it!

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

Possibly my favorite 80's tune.

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