MissFem -> your fav one (9/21/2004 4:56:36 PM)
hit wonder? mine is Tainted Love ...by Soft Cell

sweetpleaser -> RE: your fav one (9/21/2004 6:00:00 PM)
MissFem; you start some fun threads! This is tough though because there are so many. I am going to say "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles, it marked the beginning of the MTV era and the 80's. ann

Estring -> RE: your fav one (9/21/2004 6:13:07 PM)
Three come to mind. "Black Velvet" by Alanis Myles. "Hot Smoke And Sasafrass" by The Bubble Puppy. Or "The Israelites" by Desmond Dekker.

If you mean a band that had one hit and then disappeared, I like My Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades by Timbuk3.

Thanatosian -> RE: your fav one (10/2/2004 6:29:35 AM)
One Night In Bangkok by (I believe) Murray Head

NoCalOwner -> RE: your fav one (10/2/2004 12:05:28 PM)
Damn! Great question, but very tough choice. The Soft Cell and Desmond Dekker were great picks. Most of my picks would be too obscure for anyone to have heard of, but here are some that aren't. 1960s Terry Stafford, Suspicion The Box Tops, The Letter The Association, Along Comes Mary 1970s The Jam, Down in the Tube Station at Midnight The Flamin' Groovies, Shake Some Action 1980s Joy Division, Love Will Tear Us Apart Again Split Enz, I Got You Dexy's Midnight Runners, Come On Eileen Honorable mention to Tuxedo Moon (No Tears), Maurice Joshua (This is Acid), ReFlex (The Politics of Dancing), and Spinal Tap (Big Bottom). 1990s The Las, There She Goes Eon, The Spice Must Flow C&C Music Factory, Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) Honorable mention to Blind Melon (No Rain), DiVinyls (I Touch Myself), VIM (Maggie's Last Party), Pop Will Eat Itself (Ich Bin Ein Auslander) and DJ Keoki (Speed Racer, Porn Mix).

I Can't Get Started (Ira Gershwin / Vernon Duke) Iv'e been around the world in a plane I've settled revolutions in Spain The North Pole I have charted But man I can't get started with you And at the golf course I'm under par Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star I've got a house and a show place But can't get no place with you You're so supreme The lyrics I write of you Dream, dream, day and night of you Scheme just for the sight of you Baby but what good dose it do I've been consulted by Franklin D. Even Gabel had me to tea But now I'm broken hearted Can't get started with you You're so supreme The lyrics I write of you Dream, dream, day and night of you Scheme just for the sight of you But what good does it do I've been consulted by Franklin D. Even Basic had me to tea But now I'm broken hearted Can't get started with you It was performed by Bunny Barrigan, who, as the story goes, actually died as a result of hitting a high C performing this piece.

. New Order - Blue Monday ... makes me feel like sneaking into the clubs with fake id for a few beverages. 1989 was what.. 6 years ago.. maybe 8 tops?

Estring -> RE: your fav one (10/2/2004 1:41:43 PM)
Good posts here, but The Association had more than one hit. Windy and Never My Love are two of them. The Boxtops had another hit I think was called Milkmaid Ladies? By the way, for anyone who watches That 70's Show, the theme song was written by Alex Chilton who was the lead singer in the Boxtops.

knees2you -> RE: your fav one (10/2/2004 6:58:58 PM)
Mine is Don't try to stop it.. by Roman Holiday. The true one hit wonders~~ Buggles formed from Yes where the first Video on Mtv Yes Sweetpleasure was right.

Just thought of another one Pump Up The Volume by Marrs

quote: ORIGINAL: Estring Good posts here, but The Association had more than one hit. Windy and Never My Love are two of them. Ack! And Cherish and some others, you're entirely correct. I guess I mentally threw them into the circular file sitting between The New Christy Minstrels and The Cowsills, as vocal-heavy songs that my parents liked better than I did. Scratch The Association from the list. quote: The Boxtops had another hit I think was called Milkmaid Ladies? By the way, for anyone who watches That 70's Show, the theme song was written by Alex Chilton who was the lead singer in the Boxtops. This one I had to check into, because for the life of me I could not remember any Boxtops song but The Letter. One site said that they'd had 2 hits, The Letter and Cry Like A Baby. Another said that their "better known singles" were The Letter, Neon Rainbow, Cry Like A Baby, I Met Her In Church and Soul Deep, but later went on to say: "These reissues prove there's much more to The Box Tops than their best-known hit, The Letter. But that song is still their finest one minute and 52 seconds." The song that you were thinking of was Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March, an ode to sex workers from their 4th and last album. I can't say that I remember any of those songs, but aside from The Letter they seem to have had 6 singles which crept into the lower ranks of the official Top 40 for at least a week, so I guess I have to disqualify The Boxtops too. Maybe also Soft Cell for Sex Dwarf, and Memorabilia, and New Order for Bizarre Love Triangle and Regret. It's kind of murky to define with bands that managed to release at least one album.

jaysenmac -> RE: your fav one (10/6/2004 11:18:29 PM)
