All right, who bought this? I know my sis woulda done if we lived in UK then. This song is so fucking catchy


"iam the one and only".

That video Pretty funny. I saw chesney on "the games" on channel 4. He hasn't changed much. Was he a one hot wonder?

i Know the frog and senik bought this. Dont front.

no way, man.

i was of an age when i hated him because all the girls liked him.

so no, i didn't buy it. but it's a good pop tune - no surprise it did well.

It seems alot of people my age know the song. Even though it ain't played much, just hearing it once will mean occasionly it will come back to u.

I think nik kershaw had something to do with it? He was good. "the riddle" is a great song.

I bought it, and the follow up single 'I'm A Man And Not A Boy'.

I remember a boyband doing a song called that back in the late 90's (north and south, who were like s club 7 but predate them slightly)

"iam a man noy a boy, man not a boy, man not a boy (whoaaaaa)". Very stupid song.

I like "drop the boy" by Bros . The remix kicks some ass no joke.

Best one hit wonder EVER!

I actually have his album and that hideous movie with Roger Daltrey on video.

LOL @ North & South. It was a different song, same name. CHesney Hawkes' one was better. And the movie had Nick Moran in it from Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrells

I used to try and grow my hair like Chesney's.

No, but I did perfect the Hawkes pout. I'm still sure my lips changed shape because I thought about it so long, like that Talking Heads song.

I see the title of a thread and I just know it's you

you've always got the best flashbacks for nostalgic songs
from my youth. i've never looked at your profile before,
but I guess we must be about the same age since you seem
to remember all these songs and artists that were big at
the time I was in highschool.

I wish I still had napster or kazaa so I could download
all these songs you keep reminding me off

ok, checked out your profile. you're 8 years
younger than me
you must have been listening to the radio at
age 5 and jamming along to those tunes

thesexofit is COOL. I love people who unashamedly love and listen to rubbish and can easily chop and change between that and genuinely great stuff as well.

Although I personally think 'The One & Only' is a genuinely great pop song anyway. Nik Kershaw has sort of built up more credibility over the years and this song is one of the ones people look back at more fondly these days.

Your taste in music is so execrable I swear you're a gimmick.
