One song wonders
AIR FM, the worst thing to have happened to radio has a "Western Music Karyakram" in the morning, they call it matchless music hour cause u cant hear this shit any other place. Its matchless.
Anyway, today the theme was ONE HIT WONDERS. Artists who got one hit song before falling into oblivion. From the 90s.
Some of the songs they played were
1. Whats up - 4 Non Blondes
2. What is love - Haddaway
3. Please dont go - Some one i dont remember (one hit wonder right)
Reached office before the 4th thankfully. Thought i'll add a few of mine:
The top slot should for sure go to Macarena.. started as a catchy song which got repeated a billion times, and for the billionth and one time didnt sound so cool anymore. There was the video, the steps... then got "borrowed" for a few hindi movie songs... at one point there was one CD with 9-10 different remixes of the song. How sick can it get..
Another would be Ice Ice baby... yeah we all rememebr the song.. but who was Vanilla Ice and what's he been smoking lately.. gone.... no one regrets. Baba Sehgal managed a "borrowing" here.
Anyone remember INFORMER the song?? Catchy tune, fast lyrics which no one could follow. So everyone just sang informer over and over. Came and went. Resting in peace. Sung by "The Artist Known as Snow for One Song"
Ever heard of Right Said Fred? NO? They sang I'm too sexy. Again was popular back when it wasnt cool to say the S word. Easy to follow lyrics, hence popular again. Thankfully that bunch of bald bastards witht the shaved chests dont sing anymore, of if they are, nobody aint listenin.
WHO LET THE DOGS OUT!! Doesnt matter anymore, the dogs are back in.. let the sleeping dogs lie... Sung by Baha Men, whoever they were. Hope theyre doin well in their new profession.
Would I lie to you Baby? Sang Charles and Eddie before goin back wherever they sprang from.. Song used to be cool
I'm Blue doo doo da da da whatthefuckever! Eiffel 65 was the name.. probably for the 65 days of fame they got. Resting in peace now, highly irritating song.
Anyone remember Cotton Eye Joe?? Rednex. Thank you.. please stay under the radar.
Mambo Number Faaaaive! Ok so Lou Bega had a bunch of popular songs, let's file it under one Album hits then.
I'm sure there's a million more..

1:05 AM, November 29, 2005I remember watching a similar show on VH1 about one hit wonders.
The band that sang "Where Do You Go" was called No Mercy.
Though you've listed most of them, there are a few others like
Peter Andre - "Mysterious Girl"
Jennifer Paige - "Crush"
