How About Some One-hit Wonders? :)

[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.

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?

To be fair, this one isn't all that bad, IMO. lol

The lyrics are crap, and it's a bit repetitive. However, the chorus and the vocals are passable enough for a pop song.

It's a lot better than that song by Bruce Willis, in any case.

Love that one in Reservoir Dogs.

That was a really great movie.

But... But, he wants to...

Paaaarrrty all the time...

Paaaarty all the time...

Party all the tiiiiiiiiiiii-iiiiime....

Isn't that what we all want?

Lol! Yeah! Party at Funky Town!!!

Here's another one-hit wonder, and one of the funniest videos I've ever seen!

Oh I agree. Eddie Murphy is definitely a much better singer than Bruce Willis. LOL! It's the SONG itself and lyrics that are really terrible. Eddie could probably sing a decent song though.

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

Interesting note, BTW.

This was actually supposed to be a spoof song. They were deliberately going out of their way to make fun of Bob Dylan.

It got famous almost by accident, because they sounded so much like Dylan that the general public couldn't tell the difference.

^^^ Those are the closest smileys I could find to doing the robot dance. Lol.

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

I see that they have their own criteria for what is a one-hit wonder. Imagine, calling Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin one-hit wonders!!! That is like blasphemy!!

Criteria[edit]
Billboard magazine journalist Wayne Jancik's book The Billboard Book of One-Hit Wonders defines a one-hit wonder rather conservatively, as "an act that has won a position on Billboard's national, pop, Top 40 just once." He therefore includes influential performers such as Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix solely on the basis of their Top 40 performance on the Billboard Hot 100 (the criteria thus ignores competing charts such as those published by Mediabase and the now defunct Cash Box and Radio & Records).

No way. He's amazing. I'm not crazy about that version of the song though.

Another one from the 80s.

 

[turtledude]

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