And The Bangles has several hits, including Manic Monday and Going Down to Liverpool (A Katrina and the Waves song, which they did much better) Quote
ChrisT Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Yes but did Concrete Blonde ever have more than one hit? I can't even remember what it was. Quote
EWolfe Posted June 24, 2003 Author Posted June 24, 2003 Yah, it was kinda off the top of my head - but what about "dreamweaver" by, oh, I forget his name, and there's also, "In The Summertime" by Mongo Jerry... Quote

For the record, it was The Hooters (of All You Zombies fame) that originally wrote and performed Time After Time. But yes, it was CL that made the tune famous (with The Hooters performing the back-up tunes during her recording). Quote

Gary Wright, but then he had at least one other memorable tune, Love is Alive, which makes him a 2-Hit Wonder at best. Now if you want a real One Hit Wonder , one must look to the venerable Ah Ha, and that number that went along with the cool pencil-sketch video of the dude in the cartoon that comes to life at the end of the clip. Can't even remember the name of the song, but the tune is now stuck in my head. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 cyndi lauper was NOT a one-hit wonder. isn't she still touring? Quote
JoshK Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 I have to nominate "sugar ray" as the ultimate multi-one-hit wonder. They seem to have multiple one-hit wonders and still nobody takes them seriously (myself included...they suck) yet they churn out a new bubble gum hit every so often. Quote

iain Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 how could you have the song stuck in your head and not get the title? Quote
iain Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 I have this song stuck in my head: "to legit, to legit to quit" over and over. can't remember the name of it though Quote
sobo Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 The tuuuuuunnnnee! da da da da da da daa daa blah blah blah... Ya know, that bouncy little ditty that starts the chorus line. Quote

ChrisT Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Ah MC Hammer...good ol Oakland boy..."Can't touch this" Quote
Ursa_Eagle Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 here's a few (correct me if I'm wrong and they have other songs): Fig Dish - Seeds Blues Image - Ride Captain Ride Head East - Never Been Any Reason Ides of March - Vehicle Snow - Informer Rust - Not Today Also, I typically don't listen to this type of music on the radio, (so I don't know if they had any other hits) but what about: Safri Duo - Played-a-live Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone ATC - Around the world Saliva - Click Click Boom Wildchild - Renegade Master Wiseguys - Start the Commotion Quote
