No problemo! And PLEASE peep that cut! It's TIIIIIGHT!

isadora said:

Yeah, I also loved it. For a while... then it got overplayed... But I heard it again the other day, and it's still kind of good, I think.


Other one hit wonder faves of mine:

Breakfast Club - "Right on Track"
Tasmin Archer - "Sleeping Satellite" (she's made a few albums, but I think that's her only big hit).

Adamski - Killer (with or without Seal, i don't care)
4 Non Blondes - What's Up
Sugar Hill Gang - Rapper's Delight
Shocking Blue - Venus
Los Del Rio - Macarena (ok not that good, but great at drunk parties :p)

I don't know what the duck he's on about though...

I have their first album... it's pretty good... When Weezer lost Matt Sharp they pretty much lost their charm (for me at least)...

Flying Lyzards "Money (That's What I Want)"

And a third one called "Unison" and a fourth one called "Yes (If You Want Me)".

They had another one called "Apache".

Anita Ward's 1979 hit "Ring My Bell" was HUGE.In the summer of '79,this song ruled the airwaves.She's great.I saw her in concert several years ago.She appeared at one of our annual Old School R&B concerts.Because she only had one real hit to sing,she padded out her show with a cover of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive".But when she launched into "Ring My Bell",it was standing-room only.

Ok, I havent heard of those, were those off his debut album?

vainandy said:

cool song !

You're not alone - Olive (that was her name, right?)

MartyMcFly said:

Thanks Marty. I knew I wasn't the only one.

thesexofit said:

Okay, but I've only heard William Hung's version.

Most one hit wonders have second hits, like Rockwell & "Obscene Phone Caller," but twenty years from now, when they compile the late 90's hits, it will be all bout Livin' La Vida Loca for old time's sake.

According to VH1's one hit wonders special.....Jimi Hendrix was a one hit wonder.

Tony Basil

I was going to say this one. Awesome freaking song...rest of his album and career were crap.

How about Taco's "Puttin On the Ritz"...deny that you love this song, I dare you!

Jane Child, Don't Wanna Fall In Love.

Tanita Tikurum, Twist In My Sobriety.

Bananarama - Cruel Summer

Banananarama?

BOOMshockaLockaBOOM said:

I know I saw that. Because "All Along the Watchtower" became his only big hit or something.

GottaLetitgo said:

One of my favorite Simpsons lines:

Willie Nelson:"Thank you Taco, for that loving tribute to Falco. And now to present the award for most violent rap group..."

But I like Young Frankenstein's version the best.

No. "Mama Used To Say" and "Too Late" were from his first album, "JI". "Unison" came out in 1984 and was on the "All The Right Moves" movie soundtrack. "Yes (If You Want Me)" came out in 1988 on his "Sophisticated Street" album.

Do you know if those cuts are on the "Best Of Junior" cd on 'Rhino' I believe? I don't know how many times I've past that up.
