Top 10 best one hit wonders

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Fooking internet telling me otherwise!

 

[El Presidente]

Boys of Summer: Don(g) Henley

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

[Uncle Spielberg]

Bruce Hornsby and the range or something like that.

[Northstander]

Good luck against Wigan!! Just wanna se the unbeaten run finished!!!

 

[chips and gravy]

Buggles had hits with Elstree and Living in the Plastic Age

They were not one hit wonders

 

[Brighton Breezy]

My favourites:

Stiltskin - Inside (wasnt the cover a redy coloured swirly pattern?)

Let Loose - Crazy for you

 

[zefarelly]

the first top ten was good

although I'd omit 99 red baloons in favour of nellie the elephant by the toy dolls

 

[Wilko]

Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice

 

[Pevenseagull]

who came up with this list?

The Primitives had a number of hits

Out of Reach, Way Behind Me spring to mind, but I'm sure there were others.

.......and I thought that a one hit wonder was an Artist(sic) who had a number 1 hit and then followed it up with absolutely sweet FA

eg:

Spirit In the Sky - Norman Greenbaum
Take My Breath Away - Berlin
Spaceman - Babylon Zoo
Grandad - Clive Dunn & The St Winifreds School Choir

interestingly (or not) St Winifreds School Choir can lay claim to being a one hit wonder twice as a later incarnation had a solo (as in just the choir, not backing up the Dunnster) with 'Granma,we love you' - showing that they were nothing if not versitile. - It's noticeable that both these one hit wonders were XMAS hits so they were probably just buttering up the old folk to get better pressies - little shits

on a similar note Spirit in the Sky has been a one hit wonder for three different acts: Norman Greenbaum, Dr & The Medics and some charity conglomerate have all had number 1s with it but no other hits.

Anyway, given the one hit wonder definition outlined above, one hit wonderwise I'd go for:

Charles And Eddie "Would I Lie To You?"

.....oh yeah.....

 

[Strike]

Eifel 65 Blue (Da Ba Dee)

They were not one hit wonders, they had a hit with Move Your Body. as well

 

[Brighton Breezy]

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

everlclears cover of 'Video killed the radio star '

Goldfingers cover of '99 red balloons' are even better than the originals.

(spoken)From the corner of my eye
I see a pretty lady and she's posing on the cover of a magazine
And although the magazine it wasn't there to hurt me
I just couldn't keep it from a man I'm going crazy!
Intuition tells me what I'm missing when i look at you,
so tell me honey am i dreaming or do you feel it too?

'Cos I feel that you know,
You've got me just where you want me

I'm crazy, crazy for you
And there's nothing that i won't do
I'm caught by the look in your eyes
And it's all for the love of you

Ten more pages and your work is over for another day,
Well there just has to be some other way for you to pay your way

'Cos I feel that you know
You've got me just where you want me

I'm crazy, crazy for you
And there's nothing that i won't do
I'm caught by the look in your eyes
And it's all for the love of you

i feel that you know, you've got me just where you want me
I feel that you know, you've got me just,
Just where you want me

I'm crazy, crazy for you
And there's nothing that i won't do
I'm caught by the look in your eyes
And it's all for the love of you

(all for the love of )

Crazy, i'm crazy for you
And there's nothing that i won't do
I'm caught by the look in your eyes (all for the love of) woah
(all for the love of you) - repeat to fade
