Help! Give me your One-Hit-Wonders...

[nosoup4crr]

Well, not necessarily one-hit-wonders. I'm downloading music, and I want to hit all of those mid-90's songs that I might've loved but might not remember. I'm talking the cheesy pop/rock stuff. "Story of a Girl," "I only wanna be with you," "Sex and Candy"...that kind of stuff. Although, if you can come up with other lesser-remembered songs from the late 90's or early 2000's, and the song's worth it, please...feel free. Thanks all.

[PatMaGroin]

Citizen King - I've Seen Better Days

The Knack - Sharona

[Bortaz]

The Knack - My Sharona

Surely, this was early-to-mid 80s, at least, wasn't it?

[PatMaGroin]

Hush, you're old and senile.

[skihard]

billboard top 100 of 1999
That list is crap. A one hit wonder had exactly that, ONE HIT. The top name on that list TLC had many top hits and are even listed multiple times in that list.

Well actually I guess that list gives him what he wants it's his title that is goobered up. sorry

[PatMaGroin]

Is Cher really at the top of that list? Wow.

[Corneo]

Closing Time - Semisonic.

[themachine]

Are you paying for said music?

[PatMaGroin]

Are you paying for said music?
We don't really talk about that kind of thing here, don't ask, don't tell.

[Rius666]

Wasn't there a VH1 countdown of that sometime ago?

Here it is: Top 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders (http://www.vh1.com/search/search.jhtml?searchtype=show&searchterm=one+hit+wonders)
The results are there; just click the 5 of them that lists the top 100 countdown...ignore the rest of the results.

[{KOW}Spazed]

Smash Mouth had one or two hits, but nothing big. I think it was All Star and I forget the other one.

I never really keep up with radio.

[Merick]

That New Radicals, You Get what you Give
The Wallflowes, One Headlight
Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
Your Woman by White Town
Blue by Eiffel 65
Tumthumping by Chumbawumba
Pepper by the Butthole Surfers
Barbie Girl by Aqua
Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm
Banana Phone by Raffi


Edit- Walking on the Sun, KOW

[nosoup4crr]

thanks for all the help. Those lists are excellent. My first idea was to try and get song lists for all of those generally horrible "varied artist" compilations. You know, the "Rock Hits of the 90's" or "NOW! That's what I call music" stuff. But, alas, getting an entire list of all of those was too difficult. Billboard might end up being my savior.

[nosoup4crr]

Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm




Wow...I forgot all about that, haha. What a crazy cover.

[Pier]

Nada Surf - Popular
Stiltskin - Inside
Crash Test Dummies - Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffanies
Extreme - More than words
Lifehouse - Hanging by a moment
Mr. Big - To be with you
The Connels - '74 - '75
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
The Verve Pipe - The Freshman

Grr pIER

[zodiac66]

Holy cow..Safety Dance.

[PatMaGroin]

Take On Me by A-Ha

Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners

Walkin on the Sun

[nosoup4crr]

What was the song by Dishwalla? And by Toad the Wet Sprocket?

[RevenantsKnight]

And by Toad the Wet Sprocket?

I'm guessing you mean "All I Want." Another possibility is "Walk on the Ocean."

[LonghornRob]

Fastball - The Way

[asdf]

butterfly, by crazytown. it's the first thing that came to mind as a cheesy pop-rock one-hit wonder.

[Gertlex]

I'm guessing you mean "All I Want." Another possibility is "Walk on the Ocean."

Fall Down, Something's Always Wrong, Come Down

Those 5 would be the ones I label as the best known/highest ranking singles. None of those are my faves for the band though.

[Dondrei]

I'm not going to be any use because I always confuse the late 80's with the early 90's. And I'm probably wrong about which songs are and aren't one-hit wonders.

But I suggest Can't Touch This by MC Hammer and Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot.

[rplusplus]

The Knack - My Sharona

Surely, this was early-to-mid 80s, at least, wasn't it?

Actually it was late 70's but closed enough.

Yarr++

[Gertlex]

When did the Macarena become popular? *checks wikipedia*

Originally released in 1993.

There's a 1 hit wonder if I ever saw one!

Edit: after posting, I kept reading. It was the VH1 #1 One Hit Wonder, which is one of those few tv shows I have seen. (and was of course mentioned above)
