what's your favorite one-hit wonder song?

[mr_j]

for me semisonic's 'closing time' is brilliant.

ps. james, you really should read this book, if you haven't. it's wonderful.

[mere1975]

Oooooh, I like "Closing Time."

Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping" makes me smile every time, as embarrassing as it is.

May I also include Kiki Dee's contribution to "Don't Go Breakin My Heart?" I know Sir Elton doesn't come close to counting as a one-hit wonder, but Kiki Dee does.

- Mere "Whoooo hoo nobody knows it, nobody knowwwwwws" 1975

[lookout_kid]

i dunno if you can call semisonic one hit wonders, not over here anyway, secret smile was their first hit (top 10 i think) then closing time was later (about 15 it got to i think)

for me its inside by siltskin

[ree-ree]

Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping" makes me smile every time, as embarrassing as it is.

I'll go with that one, and I don't even think it's embarrassing.
(I play it whenever we go to Rockbottom to shoot pool. I love it.)

I will. Thanks. I always wondered if any thing else was worth taking a listen to (problem is always forget to check it out )

[Tyler]

Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners. kicks ass.

[ChrisLovesYou]

Cool Jerk.

(one thing I hate is professing how I've had aforementioned song stuck in my head for a month now, and the person I'm telling has never heard it.)

YUM, our Rockbottom Brewery in Dallas is gone. Try the asiago cheese dip if you haven't already!

- Mere "craving it now" 1975

[mdmusick]

"The Promise" by When In Rome comes to mind before anything else. Heh.

Modern English - I Melt With You

it's on my "to read" list, with 100,000 other books at the moment. I will get around to it though. I'm sure I'll relate to a lot of it.

As for Semisonic, I liked the previous band a bit better: Trip Shakespeare. What a great band.

Oh yes I have! mmmmmmmmm!

Even better, the giant garlic pretzels with cheese dip. (Except you better be with others who are eating it too 'cause you really stink like garlic afterwards ).

As far as another one hit wonder(though I think he had more hits in the UK) Rock On by David Essex. That song is the best blasting from the car radio.

[ifihadahifi]

My favorite is always going to be one of those songs that comes on the radio that I haven't heard for a long time. And it'll be that way until the next long lost one-hit wonder is played.

Currently, It's that Mmmmm-mmmmm song by The Crash Test Dummies.
