    Good God, woman--do you realize just how many there are?! We could fill up all of SW's bandwidth or whatever you call it, just listing them all, lol...

    I'm not mad, OTB, I think it's funny.

    OK, here's one of my very favorite Old School Classic Rock One Hit Wonders--"Fantasy", by Aldo Nova. though perhaps one of the several DJs with more years experience than me might know of another hit they put out.

    Which would be fine with me...

    When I say "I think it's funny.", it's not meant in a sarcastic or 'put-down' way. If I do laugh at someone that way, I don't post about it...

    If I say something to someone, like I wrote it in that post above, I say it with a friendly smile and a gentle poke in the stomach--I'm teasing you, OTB, not being superior or snide at all--that's not my style, unless someone pulls it on me first, lol...

    No, I tease everyone if I like them, especially at work. It usually goes over very well--it's hard to convey this with written words.

    If someone is laughing with you, you know it, and you like it (at least it's always worked for me)--if they are laughing at you, it's rude, and you don't...

    Oh hell yes, great song! But sad to say I think some of their other songs might possibly have made the charts in a small way. I know I have the CD somewhere and it's got some other good stuff on it, but then again maybe you're right.

    Actually, I don't know for sure--I've never been a big Hits Chart follower, especially not for stuff that old...

    It was in the 80's right?

    Here's a trivia question for the masters of arcane musical knowledge, eh? This could be a fun thread as far as knowing if these are really One Hit Wonders or not, lol.

    Aha! Thanks for the link--now there's no guarantee that one consumer/reviewer knows what they are talking about, but the quote "when they were riding the wave of success in the early 80's" could mean they had more hits--though I'd bet none like this one.

    Mind you, francescadubois (great name, BTW)--I could care less who's right or wrong--I'm just glad you mentioned the song since now I'll use it at work. It is fun to play musical trivia, though, so long as it's in good spirit.

    The truth of the matter is, while I'm always impressed by the vast musical knowledge some people have, I'm not fond of anyone copping a superior attitude about it--in that case, so fucking what?

    Somebody give him a binkydrink, and tell him to shut up...

    Fortunately we rarely, if ever, see it happen in here.

    Hey, Philly DJ, remember when you put that snob in his place? That was funny.

    ^^The song has that sexiness about it, y'know? I think you're right though, they did have other small hits. What about "I wanna sex you up", Color Me Badd? I think they had 2 hits, though. But are we saying one hit wonders as in one album or one song?

    DJoser, thanks for the compliment!!! mwah!

    Also, Digable planets: The Rebirth of Slick (that's still hot!), Force MDs Tender Love (not a club song, though).

    Also, I know they're def. not one hit wonders, but I just have to say that 311's "Love song" is one of my favorite songs ever!

    I thought 311's abortive frat-boy reggae-lite version of "lovesong" was one of the most heinous travesties ever recorded. See? To each his own.

    The whole "1 hit wonder" thing is hard to define. I read somewhere that it's an artist who only had one top 20/40 hit. By that reasoning....Jimi Hendrix is a 1 hit wonder, since "all along the watchtower" was the only one to crack the top 20, if i remember correctly. I personally take it to mean an artist who only had one DEFINITIVE song, the one everyone instantly thinks of, and no one really cares about anything else they ever did except for bored music geeks like myself.

    Color Me Badd's other sorta big song was....umm... "I Adore Mi Amore".

    This pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter...

    Didn't know that about Hendrix, though--not that it really surprises me. Judging any kind of talent by it's reception from the masses isn't always the best way to go.

    ^^Soft Cell: Tainted Love!! Yeah, it's a wierd ass sounding song, but I like it. Was Morissey big over here? The only song I know (and love) is "How Soon is Now?"

    "Tainted Love" was remake, too. Yeah, Soft Cell qualifies as a 1 hit wonder. They have other fun songs, but who here can sing along to "Sex Dwarf"? I'm betting not many of you.

    Morrissey was never as big over here as his old band The Smiths, who did "How Soon Is Now?", but he's big enough. People know who he is, anyway. As far as that song goes though I do honestly prefer the Love Spit Love remake from The Craft with Richard Butler from Psychedelic Furs singing. For club play, anyway, it's nowhere near as ::staples hand to forehead, drinks absinthe, mopes in corner oh god nobody loves me:: sounding, ya know?
