    Default On Hit Wonders!!

    I think this might be a fun thread. There are many many hit songs from groups that never did anything else. Some of these are amoung the greatest tunes ever recorded and if not for this single, the band would have been completely unkown. I can rattle off probably fifty but I will start with this one because the sister of my old buddy Buddy was doin' the drummer when this song hit the charts (and didn't she think she was Miss Thing). Steam, Nana Hey Hey:
    YouTube - Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye


    Hey! Why can't I fix the title of the thread? It's supposed to be ONE hit wonders.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Heres one I remember thats fairly recent...

    YouTube - Who Let the Dogs out??- Baha men Original version




    That Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye song was made famous in the Movie "Remember the Titans" at least it was for me anyways... really good song.
    EDIT: It may have been a different version of the song...

    HEY! What means "Embedding disabled by request?" That takes the fun out of this thread.

    Here let me try an older one, all the way back to the eighties:

    I was thinking Tom Tom Club had more but I can't come up with another so they must be a one hit wonder. I love the eighties music! Remember Sweet G, Games People Play?

    Both the members of Tom Tom Club were in Talking Heads, so technically they had many more hits, just not as Tom Tom Club.

    I hadn't heard Games People Play(although it does sound familiar).
    Hmmm, how bout some Nena
