Stateside One Hit wonder would be Kylie Minogue... anyone remember her?

She had 2 hits in the USA.

Anyway, that's hilarious hearing her being called a OHW over there when she's the 2nd most successful female singles artist ever after Madonna over here.

That is quite funny. I often say I wish I lived in Europe, that way I could stop xplaining 2 people who Robbie Williams is.

Ah, to be in a land where Robbie Williams isn't a "megastar" *sigh*

Michael Damian - Rock On

He released like tons of other albums, and they were all awesome if you ask me. But this was the song he is probably most known for.

senik said:

Ooh.. that reminds me. How about "The Wizard" by Paul Hardcastle... this used to be the theme for Top of the Pops.

Not sure if he was a one hit wonder... but I think he was.

debbiedean2 said:

Its an actual song & title of the album.....

Tried a use record shop.....

coolcat said:

Nearly He had a bigger hit than the "Wizard", remember "19"? (a Vietnam documentary that he snipped together into a cracking tune ). That was really good!

He lived opposite my cousin brother in Leyton. When "Wizard" came out after "19" he made a few coins and moved out He was meant to be a nice guy though.

coolcat said:

Rainforest and 19 so.. no he wasnt

a couple corrections..robbie nevelle had a couple hits..dominos,. ce la vie and back on holiday....

jermaine stewart had We Dont Have To Take Our Clothes Off & The Word Is Out

Big Pig: "(I Can't) Breakaway"

The 7-member percussionist band was from Australia. Sherine, their lead singer, was from Shri Lanka. Does anyone else remember them??? I still have their video collection with their "one hit" and a few others. They did this video in long aprons (like what butchers wear) and beat their drums like there was no tomorrow. For the band... I guess there really wasn't.


All My life I wanted to fly
Like the birds that you see way up in the sky
Making circles in the morning sun
Flyin' high in the sky till the day is done

Like a child in his fantasy
Punching holes in the walls of reality
All my life I wanted to fly
But I don't have the wings and I wonder why

Well, mama told me when I was young
Stand tall girl, you're Number One
She said you can be what you want to be
But you can't change the course of your destiny

...

Their "Bonk" CD came out in 1988 and a follow-up "Oh You Lucky People" a year or so later. I miss them and would KILL to have a new disc by them now!

U know, I thought about that as I was submitting my reply, but I decided that in terms of songs a lay person would know by him, I think he could fairly b called a "one-hit wonder", despite his success on the dance charts.

funkpill said:

Damn,I don't know this one!!
Gonna check it out,thanx

Í'm not crazy
Don't wanna mess with the Mistress

senik said:

Not to original version though right? Because that's from '69. Probably to Bauhaus' version.

Unless you are older than I thought, or Top of the Pops has been around longer than I thought. How old is TOTP anyway?

minneapolisgenius said:

He's definately one of mine as well. I actually bought a collection of songs from him. Not bad but very dated.
