ONE HIT WONDERS
I was sitting here listening to the radio. Now tonight they are playing a series of songs that I have not heard in years.
Mostly one hit wonders....you know when a band gets 1 big hit then blows all there money on houses and drugs. Then come to today and they are probably some computer programmer living in the Florida Keys.
I have decided to list 10 of my favorite and 10 of my least favorite one hit wonders of the woderful decade on the 90's.
10 ONE HIT WONDERS THAT I SECRETLY SING IN THE CAR OR SHOWER
1. "Groove is in the Heart".....Deee-Lite ca.1990 (I will not even secretly sing this one)
2. "Naked Eye"......Liscious Jackson ca. 1997 (I even owned the CD)
3. "Bitch".......Meredith Brooks ca. 1997 (never said I was proud of this)
4. "Bitter Sweet Symphony".........The Verve ca. 1998
5. "Hippychick".....SOHO ca. 1990
6. "I Touch Myself".....the Divinyls ca. 1990 (bullshit you know you do to)
7. "Jump Around"........House of Pain ca. 1992
8. "Supermodel (you better work)........RuPaul ca. 1993 (got to love tranny music)
9. "No Rain".......Blind Melon ca. 1993 (band would of been awesone if the lead singer did not die)
10. "Three Little Pigs".....Green Jelly ca. 1993 (They were called Green Jello but Bill Cosby got mad)
10 ONE HIT WONDERS THAT MAKE ME WONDER HOW THEY WERE A HIT
1. "Breakfast at Tiffianys"....Deep Blue Something ca. 1995
2. "I'm Gonna (500 Miles)....The Proclaimers ca. 1993 (real ugly twins)
3. "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm"....Crash Test Dummies ca. 1994
4. "How Bizarre"....OMC ca. 1997
5. "Closing Time"....Semisonic ca. 1998
6. "Mambo No. 5".....Lou Bega ca. 1999
7. "Nothing Compares 2u"....Sinead O'Connor ca. 1990
8. "Just a Friend"........Biz Markie ca. 1990
9. "Wiggle It"......2 in a Room ca. 1990
10. "Pop Goes the Weasel"......Third Base ca. 1991
Just shows that all these songs are kind of sucky. If you look per decade can we really tell when music got shitty. Thank got for Pearl Jam and Alice and Chains they got me though my senior year in High School.
You know there are a few missing here. Not sure where it would go but "Stay" by Lisa Loed should be up there some where.
peace

"Breakfast at Tiffianys
Hey, I love this song!!!!
"I'm Gonna (500 Miles
I'm gonna write an entire blog entry about this song, just for you. WATCH FOR IT!!!!
"Nothing Compares 2u"
Remember those tapes you could buy and they had the music and then you sang the words and recored them on to the tape, I had one of those with this song on it.
"It's been several hours and fifteen days... since you took your love away.... ahh ahh ahh ahh"
LOL OMG at first when I saw this post I thought that you were going to add in older '80's power ballads... Like "The search is over" by survivor.
But since your in this era, what about the "I get knocked down... but I get up again" song... who sings that again?
Your Top Ten Faves = greatness.
The only song I don't "get" being awesome on your list is Nothing Compares 2 U. I've never heard of 8,9 and 10.
Chumbawumba sings that song. Love that one too. Maybe I'm a lame-o? Nah! Impossible.
Those one hit wonders made a ton of money for relatively little work. Except for the "Bittersweet Symphony" band because they ripped the riff off from the Rolling Stones. Sucks to be them. The one hit wonder band, not the Stones. Although being the stones might suck too.
