How About Some One-hit Wonders? :)

[turtledude]

Ultravox's Midge Ure had a hit with this one. HE was later knighted by HRM

Here's an old one! Someone else did a cover of this, but I can't for the life of me remember who it was!! Grrrr. The Bangles maybe?

 

[Sgt_Gath]

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.

Banarama IIRC

Here is the BuzzCocks lead singer's big hit

banned by the BBC because of alleged homo-erotic lyrics


great dance tune.

I can't believe this was a one-hit wonder. What happened?

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

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

Mountain had many great tunes-calling them a one hit wonder is like calling the grateful dead a one hit wonder even though more people saw the GD live than any other musicians in history

Here is my favorite-lead vocals by the great bassist Felix Pappalardi and one of his other tunes that was written by his friend-the legendary Jack Bruce of CREAM

He should stick to acting.

Well it's on the list for 70s one-hit wonders! I'm just the messenger.

Edit: Maybe it's just for that particular year, that was their only hit? It's possible I suppose.

that term is deceiving because real one hit wonders are groups where only the most rabid fans can name a song other than the one known hit. Mountain was widely regarded as the USA version of CREAM and highly regarded by critics and sold out most anywhere they played. As I noted, like calling the Grateful Dead a "one hit wonder" because most of their fame came from live concerts and "bootlegged" tapes

Oh well, there's two I've been wrong about now. I hope this one is right!

I'd have to listen again to the actual music too. The whole thing sounded pretty crappy.

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?

 

[ChrisL]

Good call. I had forgotten all about that silly song!

 

[ChrisL]

This song is also on the Billboard one-hit wonders, but it was a duet with Elton John. I guess it was HER one hit, but I don't know if it's appropriate to include it since it certainly wasn't Elton John's only hit. My auntie loves this song. She also likes Barry Manilow though.

Love that one in Reservoir Dogs.

Isn't that what we all want?
