list all your favorite forgotten 1 hit wonder bands/songs...

Note:they dont have to be exactly 1 hit wonders..they could have had maybe 2 or 3...but if so..plz list them..

ill start..
Smashmouth - Walking on the Sun/I Get Knocked Down

Chumbawumba were the ones who sang that song "I get knocked down" not Smash Mouth. And Id have to say...

Steriogram - Walkey Talkey Man

 

[KyoKusanagi]

Not that I like them at all (just thought that as far as one hit wonders go, these guys fit the bill well)...

Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag

 

[Kenny83]

Powerman 5000 - Bombshell and When Worlds Collide

 

[DiebytheSword]

That would make them a two hit wonder . . .

Divynls - I touch myself
Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch

 

[ZeroNightmare]

Eiffel 65 - Im Blue

i forgot about that...

people loved that song... and the video

 

[Pieter Paul Rubens]

Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch

Ehm, I wouldn't really call them one-hit wonders ..

Fire Water Burn
The Bad Touch
Mope
The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope
Uhn This Uhn This
...

They've been around since mid 90's and still make (good) songs these days and hold sold-out concerts/tours

 

[Wolf Devil]

Eiffel 65 - Im Blue

They're still big in Europe, and people still listen to their albums in NorthAm.

In europe? I haven't seen hide nor hair of them on this side of the pond for years.

 

[Pieter Paul Rubens]

well, might be just europe, but I do know that they're quite "hot" in europe..

And surely you know fire water burn (the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire..)

 

[DiebytheSword]

I wasn't aware that they did that song. The only version of that that I ever heard was from Coal Chamber, Sway

 

[Ness]

Eiffel 65 - Blue
Joe Budden - Pump It Up
Kriss Kross - Jump
Mr Oizo - Flat Beat

 

[KyoKusanagi]

Bloodhound Gangs' most recent hit - Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo.

Anyway, another one hit wonder...
Don McLean - American Pie

Even though Vincent was popular, he's most well known internationally for doing American Pie.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Bloodhound Gangs' most recent hit - Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo.

The fact that the Bloodhound Gang is still around, and releasing hits, leads me to believe they're not a one-hit wonder. No?

The Caesars - Jerk it Out (was on an iPod commercial)

 

[DiebytheSword]

I guess I'm just ignorant to their latest hits. *shrugs*

 

[Wolf Devil]

Bloodhound Gangs' most recent hit - Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo.

Don McLean - American Pie

Even though Vincent was popular, he's most well known internationally for doing American Pie.

If that counts, I don't see how Hendrix doesn't.

 

[KyoKusanagi]

Arguably, American Pie was the only song by him to reach the charts thus making it a hit. Vincent wasn't a chart topping song or a chart song so therefore not a hit.

Hendrix however is a legend among guitarists and deservedly so. Not to mention his string of hits.

 

[Killface]

Franz Ferdinand - Take me out

 

[Wolf Devil]

No, for some reason people like Franz Ferdinand, and he's all BUT dissappeared, unfortunately... and I don't think Take Me Out was a hit.
