One Hit Wonders From The 70's 80's and 90's - SomeJackleg - 02-15-2023
thought i post some of the best one hit wonders. stopped at the 90's cause as mr. segar said years ago, today's music ain't got the same sole.
so feel free to post your favorite one hit wonders, god knows there are a bunch of them out there and some of them from bands we all know.
here's one that the back story is true and cool. the band was a hard rock cover bar band during the disco days doing one night stands. they were finding it hard to get gigs, so the the leader of the band told the members that they were going to have to start playing dance music if they wanted to work and get paid, they didn't want to and kept on playing the clubs as a cover band. one night in at a club in Pittsburgh, where the audience was mostly black , during a break a somebody came up and asked, "Are you going to play some funky music, white boys?". Parissi grabbed a pen and order pad and wrote the sonf in 5 minutes. the song hit # 1 on the bill board and soul charts in 76 and was voted 93rd on the top 100 billboards greats hits in 2018, and has sold 2.5 million in the U.S. alone.
decided to post this in kinda keepin in the cross over idea and this is a one hit wonder. i also like the way this guy bugs out when he hears a tune he likes, and doesn't like.plus some of the stuff he comes up with is funny. his older ones are better then the newer ones and his Reaction on some other things aren't that great. but all ands all he seems fairly cool.

A fav of mine back then (not now) and just cause it was released Feb 14, 1987 and it sure feels like the world is in dystopian final countdown. Over 1 billion views.
One-hit wonder from the 90s...

I think it's this one...Public Image Ltd - Rise - "I could be wrong, I could be right"
Singer kinda reminds me of Talking Heads.
Weird, I just did a post on "AMERIKA" here.

there's not many tunes that America released that i don't like. matter of fact they rate right up there in the sitting around the house chilling with a left hander music.
a couple of my favorites, one i liked so much when i was a kid my ma would call me in the house when it came on the radio.
here's one you can hum that might help,
then the one my ma would call me in for, their top selling and charting tune.
never heard of the second one, and your right he does give off a david byrne vibe.

A one hit wonder 'number' from the 80s that was permanently branded into my brain. Jenny would never answer my calls.
The number is cursed to this day.Greatest "Obsession" song of the 80s in US/UK.
