Blind Melon - No Rain. It still gets a bit of radio play on the station that I listen to.

Anyone remember Andrew WK? He had that hit song 'Party Hard'. Don't think he had any others. Thankfully!

Chumbawamba (what a mouthful), I suppose they'd be considered as a two hit wonder. Glad I'm not hearing anything from them anymore.

Ooooh, I like that Blind Melon song. Forgot what happened to them though.

Chumbawumba's still at it, they just recently released a new single called "On Ebay". You can find it (the music video) on Launch. Aww, I liked them, "Tubthumpin'" was good.

I was just about to mention Chumbawamba. I loved "Tubthumpin"! Ah, the memories.

Britney should have been a one hit wonder.
Default, New Radicals and Splender(The ones with the song I Think God Can Explain) shouldn't have been a one hit wonder.
And I hope Eamon becomes a one hit wonder.

Ammer, you took this off of Muchmusic, didn't you?

(And t.A.T.u. has two singles out- the other one being "Not Gonna Get Us".)

Hmm...can't think of any one hit wonders at the moment, but I'd wish Britney Spears was one. She can dance...but she can't sing very well. Oh, and Hilary Duff- can't sing at all, her recorded songs have to be played over her voice on live performances.

Erm, that happens with a lot of musicians. They usually are just miming during live performances. Prince was once caught out on Top Of The Pops as he forgot to start miming when his voice started singing on the recording :lol:

He's pretty cool. I've only heard a couple of his songs, they're catchy but begin to sound pretty samey.

Yeah, I get bored of him very quickly. But still cool.

Maybe not one hit, but two or three hit wonders:

- The Venga Boys
- Aqua
- Gorillaz

Nononono, I remember Aqua went for quite a while. I remember liking a song called "If I Could Turn Back Time" or something. Eeeep, how embarrassing. :oops:

*runs and hides*

Andrew WK had 3 singles and they are almost the exact same song just with different lyrics.
The other 2 are called She is beautiful and We want fun.

One/two hits wonders I like :

Merideth Brooks - B****
Crazy town - Butterfly/revolving door
Eagle eye cherry - Save tonight/falling in love
Green jelly - 3 little pigs hehehe
Marcy playgound - S** and candy
Presidents of the USA - Lump/Peaches
Dog eat dog - No fronts
Deep blue something - Breakfast at Tiffany's
Len - Steal my sunshine
OMC - How bizzare
Nena - 99 red balloons
Andreas Johnson - Glorious

Aqua had loads of songs! My friend (no, really, my friend, not 'my friend' meaning me) had their album.
There was 'Barbie Girl', 'Doctor Jones' 'If Only I could turn back time'...good ol' school discos...

Oh yes. Haha.

I remember loving the singer's hair. Oh she had great hair.

I actually liked Aqua *bows down with shame*

The Fast Food Rockers should have been banished to obilivion! Actually, if they were, my friend would be poor, as she's the voice of one of them. They don't even mime to their own voices, just other people who can actually sing! Grr...

I hope Eamon is a one hit wonder, he's terrible!

It's 'Turn Back Time', I recently donwloaded it on my computer. They had, 'Dr. Jones', 'Barbie Girl' (Which you mentioned), 'Candyman' and the song where she's a princess and he's a prince and he has to save her. Can't remember the name. But, Aqua isn't a One Hit Wonder. They had a succesful album, making them not a One Hit Wonder.

On another note, I hope Eamon goes out too. Worst voice in the world.

I decidedly liked Tatu. I nearly bought their album, actually.

Black-Eyed Peas are cool...Hear'Say shouldn't've even existed. Ever. And 'Pure and Simple' shouldn't be so damn catchy.

*hums against will*
