Title: Your favorite one hit wonder songs!
Post by: Gep on February 13, 2007, 12:29:22 PM
Tumugtog kanina sa radyo yung "In the Meantime", yung kanta ng Spacehog. Wow! Ang saya naalala ko yung kanta.
Naisip ko yung iba
"Flat Tire" - Athenaeum (more of two hit wonder sila) "Wide Open Space" - Mansun "Popular" - Nada Surf (pero ngayon bumabawi na sila) "Teenage Dirtbag" - Wheatus
Ano pa ba?

Refrain: And now that you're with someone, I can't believe it's true It's really hurting me, when I see you...
Chorus: Girl, eventhough you love somebody, I'm still here to love you Girl, I can't hide this feelin', that I feel for you, that I feel for you...
I can't accept the fact that your not here right now Theres nothing I could do
Repeat Refrain and Chorus

THE teenage fanclub? a "one-hit wonder"? they've been writing hits for years now! how about "hang on", "the concept", "what you do to me"? not only are they good at what they do, they're also one of the most consistent popsong writers ever.
if you liked "be strong now" by james iha, try "sound of love" it's quite nice too with its folky roots and all.
the rentals also have released more than one record and their albums are chocful of fuzz-laced popsong goodness. they just never made it as big as matt sharp's previous band, weezer.
you gotta give these guys a listen or two. i swear you won't be disappointed.

Post by: burnsbhm on January 29, 2012, 04:14:27 PM
Sorry but David Gates is not a One Hit Wonder. He had other hits like Never Let Her Go, Goodbye Girl.
I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love? You might be talking about You Love by The Outfield, if that's it then the Outfield has three hits, this one, All the Love In The World and Since You've Been Gone.
The Knack (without S) though it was their only number 1 hit, they have another hit titled Frustrated. They released another album after the debut Get The Knack (which includes My Sharona and Frustrated). They broke up after that album because it was a flop (despite THAT being a gold record) but reunited 6 years later. Only to break up again in 1992, reforming again in 1996 and finally breaking up for good in 2010 at the death of vocalist Doug Figerre.
The Spin Doctors has Two Princes, Little Miss Can't Be Wrong, Cleopatra's Cat
It's actually Two Minds Crack. Before hitting big with Upside Down, they also have another sizeable hit with The Hunger And The Greed that sounds kinda like Howard Jones.
That ditty that has that chant "Aring King King King" is actually titled "Magic Carpet Ride" (with a sample of the standard Chili Cha Cha) by a band called The Mighty Dub Kats - in reality TMDK is Norman Cook and his close buddy Gareth Hansome (a.k.a. GMoney). Norman Cook started as a bass player for The Housemartins before becoming a famous DJ all over England eventually finding fame for himself as Fatboy Slim!
Here are what I think are REAL one hit wonders:
1. Little Star - The Elegants 2. There She Goes - The La's 3. Rico Suave - Gerardo 4. Because I Got High - Afroman 5. Born To Be Alive - Patrick Hernandez 6. Turning Japanese - The Vapors 7. Pass The Dutchie - Musical Youth 8. The Purple People Eater - Sheb Wooley 9. Little Darlin' - The Diamonds 10. Bad Day - Daniel Powter 11. Alley Oop - The Hollywood Argyles 12. Mother In Law - Ernie K-Doe 13. Telstar - The Tornados 14. Pipeline - The Chantays 15. Sukiyaki - Kyu Sakamoto 16. Dominique - Janine Deckers (a.k.a. The Singing Nun) 17. Judy In Disguise (With Glasses) - John Fred and his Playboy Band 18. Harper Valley P.T.A. - Jeannie C. Riley 19. In A Gadda Da Vida (In The Garden Of Eden) - Iron Butterfly 20. In The Year 2525 - Zager & Evans

nice information as always, sir bryan! :-D
some trivia/questions about the bands you mentioned...
- "little star" by the elegants was coincidentally the #1 hit in america the week michael jackson was born. unfortunately i don't know anything about the elegants aside from their being a one-hit wonder...
- the tornadoes featured george bellamy on guitar...name may not be familiar to most, but his son, matt bellamy of muse, is definitely a familiar name. and the tornadoes were, for some time, eccentric UK producer joe meek's house band. alam ko din katropa nila sina ritchie blackmore, when they were all session musicians for meek in the early '60s.
- weren't the hollywood argyles the first band of runaways manager/"svengali" kim fowley? and is that him on lead vocals?

"First Time" - Finger Eleven "Yeah Whatever" - Splender (hit din ba "I Think God Can Explain"?) "Say What You Want" - Texas "Touch, Peel, Stand" - Days of the New
yup, "i think god can explain" was a bigger hit than "yeah whatever"...
and "shelf in the room" was also a big rock hit for DOTN...
yan yung mga kantang pagnarinig mo sasabihin mo.."yan pal yun" :lol:
"city of angels" was the album, "love machine" was the hit. may cassette tape si erpats nun dati...till i recorded over it as a kid (with his reluctant blessing). :lol: and they're technically not one-hit wonders since sila yung backing band ni smokey robinson before splitting from him in the '70s...

some trivia/questions about the bands you mentioned...
- "little star" by the elegants was coincidentally the #1 hit in america the week michael jackson was born. unfortunately i don't know anything about the elegants aside from their being a one-hit wonder...
- the tornadoes featured george bellamy on guitar...name may not be familiar to most, but his son, matt bellamy of muse, is definitely a familiar name. and the tornadoes were, for some time, eccentric UK producer joe meek's house band. alam ko din katropa nila sina ritchie blackmore, when they were all session musicians for meek in the early '60s.
- weren't the hollywood argyles the first band of runaways manager/"svengali" kim fowley? and is that him on lead vocals?
The Elegants were an Italo American doo wop group. But that's all I know. And little star was #1 in the US when Michael Jackson was born.
Ritchie Blackmore worked for Joe Meek as guitarist for the UK group Outlaws (not to be confused with the American Outlaws).
The Hollywood Argyles was one of the earliest projects of Kim Fowley whose partner in the project was Gary S. Paxton. Paxton was the lead vocalist for Alley Oop. We know Gary S. Paxton in the Philippines-only hit - (I'm Livin' In) The Shadow Of Your Memory.
"city of angels" was the album, "love machine" was the hit. may cassette tape si erpats nun dati...till i recorded over it as a kid (with his reluctant blessing). :lol: and they're technically not one-hit wonders since sila yung backing band ni smokey robinson before splitting from him in the '70s...
The Miracles were a vocal group formed in the Late 50s with William Smokey Robinson as it's focal point. They had many many hits both pop and R&B but Love Machine was their only #1 hit after Smokey left the group. The title track of City Of Angels was a big radio hit in the Philippines to but never officially released as a single in the US.
yan yung mga kantang pagnarinig mo sasabihin mo.."yan pal yun" :lol:
Kid Creole and the Coconuts has other hits as well as My Male Curiosity. But it is interesting to note that they never had a pop hot 100 single! Their sole placement Hey Mambo was even a duet with Barry Manilow in 1987. Their other club hits (dance chart of sorts) were Endicott and I'm A Wonderful Thing, Baby.
Gilbert O' Sullivan (real name : Raymond Edward O'Sullivan) also had Clair, What's In A Kiss, Nothing Rhymed as hits.
Aside from People Alone, Randy Crawford had a massive hit with One Hello.
Lastly, Texas also had other hits aside from Say What You Want. In the 80s they first charted with I Don't Want A Lover. Also they charted high in the UK charts with Black Eyed Boy, In Our Lifetime, Summer Son and more.

This was not the only hit of Shawn Colvin. She also has "Steady On" and a cover of The Police's "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic."
Yes this IS a one-hit wonder.
La Bamba was their only #1 hit but they also charted Come On Let's Go - also a Ritchie Valens cover.

Although WAX as an entity is a one-hit-wonder in most countries (in UK, they had another hit with Bridge To Your Heart). Individually the members (Andrew Gold and Graham Goldman) were anything but. Andrew Gold had hits with Lonely Boy, Thank You For Being A Friend, Never Let Her Slip Away. Graham Goldman wrote a lot of hits for other artists in the UK in the 60s and 70s. Bus Stop by the Hollies is one. He is also a member of 10cc in the 70s. I'm Not In Love is their big hit.

Agree with space hogs, may tape ako dati hoping na may maganda silang ibang kanta liban dun sa In The Meantime. Whenever I hear that song, I can't help but reminisce during the 90's, up to now reminiscing pa rin.

Tumugtog kanina sa radyo yung "In the Meantime", yung kanta ng Spacehog. Wow! Ang saya naalala ko yung kanta.
Naisip ko yung iba
"Flat Tire" - Athenaeum (more of two hit wonder sila) "Wide Open Space" - Mansun "Popular" - Nada Surf (pero ngayon bumabawi na sila) "Teenage Dirtbag" - Wheatus
Ano pa ba?
