Now I don't know about most of you, but when I hear the phrase "one hit wonder," I normally think of the 80's. Maybe it's because my age was still in the single digits when the Berlin Wall fell, but I find that a lot of the songs I liked back then were by a group from whom I never heard another song. I think of groups like Information Society and songs like "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)" or the ever so famous "Come on Eileen" (and yes, I know the lyrics):
That said, I'm forgetting that the 90's had plenty of OHW's (I like my acronyms...I like 'em a lot!). Consider "Lucas with the Lid Off" or Us3's "Cantaloop":
Why am I having this random thought? First, this is my blog and I can think whatever random thoughts I want to, of course. The second reason is the title of this post; one of the local stations here in town had a One Hit Wonders Weekend. Always nice to hear some songs I haven't heard in awhile!
What were some of your favorite One Hit Wonder tunes?
