Which One-Hit Wonder Band's Song Gives You a Natural Rush?

[Janitor]

Everybody Plays the Fool by The Main Ingredient

In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry

Master Jack by Four Jacks and a Jill

OK, I am totally ashamed to admit it but in college I liked these one hit wonders. In some cases I had to Google the lyrics to the chorus just to remind myself who did the song!

Groove is in the Heart by Deee-Lite
The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground
Kiss them for Me by Siouxsie and the Banshees
Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe by Whale
A Girl Like You by Edwyn Collins
No Rain by Blind Melon

Sometime during grad school I got out of my alterno-crap phase and went back to the music I loved in high school, namely that which I discovered by listening to my dad's record collection on the sneak when I was little. Happy to say I'm still sticking with the good stuff today.

Zoot Suit Riot -- Cherry Poppin Daddies

 

[Chi Meson]

Jeez! It just hit me. Without a doubt, my favorite "one-hit" song is:

"Da da da" by Trio.

They had other hits in most European countries, and I remember their follow-up "Boom-Boom" being played on MTV about 1984-ish, but I think this counts as a one-hit band. I had the 12-inch release with the extended "dub" version.

LOL I remember that. I also remember thinking that it took about one brain cell to come up with it.

I'm Easy -- Keith (?) Carradine

Say what?

 

[tribdog]

I know, I'd never heard of these bands before either. They are real bands though.

They aren't even close to one hitters though. I know them all well. Oh and forgive me if I get a bit mouthy. I'm several beers on my way to being REALLY relaxed.

Yeah, but arildno listed the Steve Miller Band as a one hit wonder. I figured we weren't being too picky!

 

[Loren Booda]

"A Girl Like You" sends me. So do "Harden My Heart," "867-5309/Jenny" and "Don't You (Forget About Me)."

 

[Chi Meson]

I know, I'd never heard of these bands before either. They are real bands though.

Oh yeah, and there was this band called "The U2's" that did this single called "11 o'clock, tick tock." That was great.

And I remember this pretty good song called "I'm so hot for her (and she's so cold)." I think the band was "The Rolling of the Stones" or something like that.

Does anyone remeber "The REM's" who had one song called "Radio Song"? It wasn't that good, but it got some play.

 

[tribdog]

You must listen to some obscure "college" radio stations

 

[Danger]

Thanks, Loren. I've been trying to remember Quarterflash ever since this thread started, and kept coming up blank.

 

[Chi Meson]

Thanks, Loren. I've been trying to remember Quarterflash ever since this thread started, and kept coming up blank.

DAMMIT! I've been trying for the last twenty years to FORGET Quarterflash! THANKS A LOT!






Oh, two more from about 1979:
"Hey Saint Peter" and "Driver's Seat"

One is by "Flash in the Pan" the other is by "Sniff and the Tears." I could never remember which is which.

[Loren Booda]

Is "Danger" a derivative of "Derange?

 

[Danger]

I've never thought of that, but I suppose it's possible. Certainly appropriate.

The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground

oooh! I love Digital Underground. I thought they were brilliant. I still keep the Sex Packets CD in my car.

I searched forever to get an LP by a one-or-two-hit-wonder band called "Ta mara and the Seen" (from around 1980, I think). I finally found it on e-bay and bought it, but now I have nothing to play it on. I need to figure out how to make a CD out of it.
