Queen Asuka Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Has anyone watched that special on VH1 about the 100 Greatest One Hit wonders? I think that is hilarious. I can't even think of which one I liked the best or anything. I think they're all hilarious. Like "Play that Funky White Boy", OMG that is hilarious. I always thought that Weezer was going to be a OHW until they came out with "HashPipe", the only good song by them besides "Buddy Holly." What do you guys think?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imsirion Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I saw most of them, It was pretty funny. But some of those songs drive me mad, I hate them. Like the ont by The Waitresses (sp?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 [color=red][b]If I hear the Macarania(sp?) one more damn time.......most of those songs annoyed the hell out of me. But it was still fun to watch.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one is probalby Robby williams. Anyone remmeber that song Millenium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Didn't the macerena get number one "one hit wonder"... I don't remember who did that song... Los Ricos something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 i remember seeing that. i think calling some people ohw may be true but some times it doesnt mean they were all that bad. the more complex music is the less likely you are to have it stuck in your head. ohw are never complex. god i hate that, and now that i think of it, i hate them all.

PiroMunkie Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 [color=indigo]Umm.. Well there's that one song by that one guy "I'm too sexy for my shirt" or whatever.. "I'm turning Japanese" is another one. "That thing you do".... Heh, there is/was a band called the One Hit Wonders and they just remade a bunch of songs like that. :p[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saiyangohan2002 Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 there was pseudo echo, who remade cult 80's hit "funky town" and, basically thats all they ever did :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 I saw that. I didn't think it was funny. It was actually very,very, very annoying. I could not stand it. Especially the Los Ricos thing. ::breaks into uncontrollable hives.:::drool: :rotflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted May 19, 2002 Author Share Posted May 19, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Well, let me say this: Most of those songs WERE on there. But I just thought of another song that was sort of a one hit wonder type thing...remember that band Monster Magnet and their song "Space Lord"? I know someone has to know what I'm talking about because how many people sing songs that say "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAA SPACE LORD MOTHER MOTHER!!!!" So yeah...I don't think they ever released another song...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 :therock: I do not know of that Space Monster song.... lol, and I think I'd remember if someone was going around going WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SPACE MONKEY BAKER or whatever. I didn't get to see who the number one one-hit-wonder was, but I'm guessing it was macarena. I remember A-Ha's song Take On Me. I actually liked that song. And Whip It by Devo, ... there were some others I was going to mention but I can't remember them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 No it was some freak trying to potray a sorry excuse for a sex symbol. It was very un-nerving. I think the Macerana was second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 lol, was baha men on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take On Me- A-Ha 7. Ice Ice Baby-Vanilla Ice 6. Who Let the Dogs Out- Baha Men 5. Mickey-Toni Basil 4. Too Sexy- Right Said Fred 3. Come On Eileen- Dexy's Midnight Runners 2. Tainted Love- Soft Cell 1. The Macerena- Los Del Rio And there you have it. And yes, Baha Men were on here, even in the top ten. But the whole list is on Vh1.com, you just have to click on shows to find it. So yeah...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 lol,it's fun to laugh at the macerena. I remember they brought that back recently on TRL (MTV), just for a memory, and everyone booed at it. It was hillarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted May 20, 2002 Author Share Posted May 20, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]I'd boo at it too...I never really got into the Macerena, and I thought that the people who did were a bunch of losers. Now we have the stupid ChaCha Slide...which is the most stupid "dance" I've ever witnessed in my life....Music has just been going downhill lately...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
