In the music industry, a one-hit-wonder is an artist generally known for only one hit single.

Here's one: "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell

Who or What One-Hit-Wonder comes to your mind?

Definitely Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." Ha ha ha. It is fantastic, and his voice is disconcertingly low for a 5-foot-tall redhead.

Also Jennifer Paige's "Crush." So good, so dramatic. I think I had this on repeat for at least a straight week once.

no way! that is on one of my profiles. i dig that song. it has such attitude and is all about pop-culture!

how about:  "Black Betty" by RamJam ...now those are some lyrics that'll stick in your head over and over and over. after every verse you got to hear "bama lamb!"

 

Tuna ><((((*> the other white meat!

Everlast - What its like
All the Same - Sick Puppies
My Herion - Silverstein
Memory - Sugarcult

Megadeth did a neat cover of that song. And the Austin Powers movie dusted the cobwebs off of it long enough to include it in a scene.

Who, Vanilla Ice?  Wow, glad I missed that one.  Sounds worse than the Scott Bao thing they've been showing recently.
