Hey i was just listening to a band called Tantric today and it really reminded me of all the one hit wonders that are out there. They have a song that is called Breakdown and was a huge hit. You can also find it on Big Shiny Tunes 6. This song was probably a hit about three anda holf to four years ago. Since then i havn't heard anything from Tantric or likewise anything about them. So yah i thought i would start a thread to find out about other one hit wonders that you just can't get enough of.
As much as I hate to admit it, Crazy Town (my second favorite band) seems to be a one-hit wonder with their song Butterfly. Their new stuff just hasn't seemed to catch on and now they don't even have a label since them and Sony went seperate ways.
Some bands like Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Blindside, 30 Seconds To Mars... I don't want to think of them as one-hit wonders, but I think they are. They're not as popular as they should be. They're amazing bands. I know I'll be buying their new CDs when they come out, but I doubt they'll get the sales they deserve.
There are always bands I wish (like Will said) weren't a 'one hit wonder'. But then I realize and think... Thank God songs like "Mombo Number Five" were one hit wonders and that guy disappeared .
THere's lots of amazing bands that aren't popular or in the mainstream! My newest finding is The Mars Volta.
Bahamen - Who Let The Dogs Out The Macarena (I can't even remember their name, how bad is that?) Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby The Hamster Dance lol
chumbawamba!!! that was the hit song back in the day....it was played on all the stations n stuff, hell it made me actually buy their cd...after that, no one ever heard of em again
Chevelle is more like a two hit wonder. Theyve sold one million CD's and Send The Pain Below is the only thing played over here practcally.
The Cartoons I dunno if they were only over here in the UK but their song was so funy I've got the Hamster Dance Song single!!!!! One of the teachers in my school knew the band that made it, she hated the song
Here's my list of 80s' one-hit-wonders: Human League - Don't You Want Me Baby A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away) A-ha - Take On Me Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star Devo - Whip It Mr. Mister - Broken Wings I love these songs, though!!!
Oh you have got to love One Hit Wonders! I have a few of them on my winamp at home. Take My Breath Away - Berlin Ghostbusters Theme - Ray Parker Jr. ... Okay so basically any 80's song.
i love 80's one-hit wonders! two other good 80's one-hit wonders (i can't remember one of the bands for the life of me) The Vapors - Turning Japanese There's Always Something There To Remind Me
2) The Vapors - Turning Japanese <---- !!! [/b][/quote] 1) A-Ha and Mr. Mister rock my tiny world. 2) I MUST DOWNLOAD THAT WHEN I GET HOME I <3 THE 80'S!
That, like, a Newfoundland Pop Culture Icon song. I hate it though, stupid old country-livng people keeping it alive.
