Remembering the One Hit Wonders: A Tribute
There's nothing quite like a one-hit wonder. It's a shining gem amongst the arsenal of bland rocks which an artist has created in their time as an artist. A song pops up in the night to take the country by storm before quietly inching its way off the billboard hits soon after.
Here we seek to remember such artists who have given us a single hit throughout the years.
Here we seek to pay homage to those hits which we loved ten years ago.
Here we come to find the small cults of diehard fans insisting these bands were misunderstood.
Here we find:
- Come on Eileen (Dexys Midnight Runners)
- What is Love? (Haddaway)
- Stacy's Mom (Fountains of Wayne)
- Tubthumping (Chumbawamba)
- Black Betty (Ram Jam)
- Mambo No. 5 (Lou Bega)
- Video Killed the Radio Star (The Buggles)
- Spirit In The Sky (Norman Greenbaum)
- 867-5309/Jenny (Tommy Tutone)
- Teenage Dirtbag (Wheatus)
- Sandstorm (Darude)
- Kiss Me (Sixpence None the Richer)
- Sex and Candy (Marcy Playground)
- No Rain (Blind Melon)
- Just a Friend (Biz Markie)

- Safety Dance (Men Without Hats)
- Tainted Love (Soft Cell)
- American Pie (Don Mclean)

May they all rest peacefully in the 69 cent section of iTunes.
