Andee 220524 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 I was thinking about some songs past and present which it's hard to believe actually made it on the radio and became hits. Hard to believe people listen to some of this drivel. But I have to admit I have been known NOT to turn off the radio when they'd come on. Ugh! For example: Yummy Yummy Yummy by the Ohio Express http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubQape8wSkQ&feature=related Billy Don't be a Hero - Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods Little Willy - The Sweet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jake_cdn Report post Posted March 13, 2011 It is amazing that some of these people only really hit is big once and amazing that some of them had a hit at all. The good ones... Drift Away - Dobie Gray (1973) Louie, Louie - Kingsman (1963) Bad Ones... Chick-A-Boom - Daddy Dewdrop (1971) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1d_WUDTO34 Hey Mickey - Toni Basil (1982) Enjoy them !

A.J. Raven 100 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 Some of favourite, older, one hit wonders: Dream Academy - Life in a Northern Town 'Til Tuesday - Voices Carry T'Pau - Heart & Soul Feargal Sharkey - A Good Heart The Waterboys - Whole of the Moon For the person who posted "Joey" by Concrete Blonde and asked if they did anything else... They did, so I wouldn't consider them a one hit wonder; although if you didn't live in the western U.S. or listen to any alternative radio, that could be the only song you know by them. The thing with the song "Joey" is it was a runaway hit, but they did have others that did well for an alternative band, and had other albums before & after Bloodletting, which "Joey" is from. My personal favourite is the album Free, with the songs "God is a Bullet" and "Happy Birthday". Definitely worth a listen if you haven't heard it yet.
