On my
"Turning Japanese Offensive" Thread the conversation as turned to one hit wonders. So I decided to start a new thread, in hopes of getting more in put.
What are you favorite one-hit wonders?
My husband is the lead singer in a popular local party band. We got a kick out of reading this list because his band does almost every song listed here. They play mostly danceable music and some of it is quite goofy, lol. It's fun to watch the crowds' reaction when they pull out a one-hit-wonder from the past. *This is not the music he loves or listens to, he's a progressive rock guy, YES, Rush, etc., but this music gets the crowd going and up on their feet.
