Wasn't this a hit too though?

Wasn't this a hit too though?

I'll take your word if it was!

 

[ChrisL]

one of my favorites (a one hit wonder in the USA-really big Down Under though)

Good song.

 

[ChrisL]

There were lots of 80s hip hop one-hit wonders!

 

[ChrisL]

I always liked this song!

I always liked this song!

it got played too much in my area. got sick of it real fast

 

[turtledude]

I think this guy got nailed for kiddie porn or statutory rape but this was huge when I was in say 8th grade

 

[turtledude]

from the same era: his only US top 40 hit

 

[ChrisL]

This was a pretty good song too.

 

[ChrisL]

This is the only hit that I'm aware of by this band. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course.

 

[ChrisL]

She has a really pretty voice.

I thought this would be a really fun music thread! We all know and have our favorite one-hit wonders, so post them up!!

Here's a kind of silly one that I heard recently. It's an oldie too.

The Sweet weren't a one hit wonder, hun.

Oopsie! I thought they were. What other songs do they have?

Well, for one, the awesome classic:




The lyrics are faboo!

I've heard that song, but I didn't know it was from that band!

I recall it WASN'T a hit originally, but was maybe 5-6 years ago, when someone used it in a TV commercial.

Did anyone know that Bruce Willis made a song?

Yes, unfortunately.

Was it really a "hit," though?

It's pretty bad if you ask me.

I agree. There's just not enough power behind his vocals.

It sounds like he's whispering into the mic. lol

Did you know that Eddie Murphy also made a song? Yikes! What was he thinking? A little full of himself with his success in the 80s perhaps?

He also sang (La Vida Loca, duet with Antonio Banderas) in Shreck 2.

I just quickly scanned this thread, and I don't think anyone has posted this one yet. It's pretty famous.

Interesting trivia: that song was offered to Cher, who turned it down. (Also...I would say that Reba McIntyre's version is MUCH better known. Also, hers has a SUPERB video.)

A rare 70's instrumental hit...Frank Mills' superb Music Box Dancer.

Another, later covered by Coven for Billy Jack...
