VH1 CLASSIC SHINES UP MUSIC'S "ONE HIT WONDERS" BEGINNING
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25. Taco, Breakfast Club, Blind Melon -- All dishes at
your favorite diner? Probably not. They are, however, three acts featured in
VH1 Classic's upcoming "One-Hit Wonders Weekend," beginning Saturday, February
25 at 2:00 PM/ET/11:00 AM/PT during a four-hour video block.
VH1 Classic digs deep into its video vaults to unearth music video gems
from bands that for one shining moment in the 70s, 80s or 90s were all the
rage only to never be heard from again.
From "Seasons in the Sun" to "Walking on Sunshine," VH1 Classic salutes
the bands that achieved what so many aspiring performers hoped to do -- reach
the pinnacle of pop music success at least once. In addition to the above
acts, the "One Hit Wonder Weekend" will air videos from Don Johnson, Toni
Basil, Dee-Lite, Terry Jacks, Double, Baltimora, Bobby McFerrin and Edie
Brickell and New Bohemians.
So what were those hit songs from the aforementioned food-themed bands?

Taco - "Putting on the Ritz"
Breakfast Club - "Right On Track"
Blind Melon - "No Rain" featuring the infamous "Bee" Girl

we don't get VH1 Classic anymore

wonder what happened to the Bee Girl .....my god they used to play that video 24/7.

Is this a new one? because there's another show they used to repeat all the time.

Thanx Mazerati. I'll be looking in on this.

was jennifer rush a one hit wonder in the US? Her video "the power of love", is often played on vh1. I know celine covered it.....

Jennifer Rush was kind-of a one hit wonder in the US. She had another single to chart near the Top 40 by way of a duet with Elton John "The Flames of Paradise".

She was a HUGELY successful pop singer throughout Europe in the 80's and early 90's. Her record company's attempts to launch her career in the US never took off though. I have three of her CDs that were released in the US in the late 80's. They are really good pop albums.

The Power of Love (written by Jennifer Rush) was not a big hit for Jennifer in the US, only peaking at #57 in 1985. It was though a mega-hit throughout Europe, even becoming one of the UK's longest running chart toppers. The song was recorded a few years later by pop singer, Laura Branigan, whose version became a hit in the US in the winter of 1987-88. The song was then, of course, covered by Celine Dion in 1993 and the single spent four weeks at #1 in the US in early 1994.
