Best One Hit Wonder Song

[Robertelamin]

Not to upset our ‘conservatives’ too badly but: the best one hit wonder single is Crossroads - Bones Thugs and Harmony.

They had a couple of hits.



Blackstreet No Diggity is the true answer.

Correct.

 

[Robertelamin]

Correct.

I knew I could trust you Mike.

Was a category on Jeopardy tonight. Only four of the answers revealed.

Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy
Lou Bega - Mambo No. 5
Dan Powter - Bad Day
The Waitresses - I Know What Boys Like

Blackstreet No Diggity is the true answer.

"Booti Call" and "Before I Let You Go" were both top 40 hits. Ergo, do not qualify as "one hit wonders".

 

[CTMike]

I would say The Humpty Dance but that would disrespect the rest of Digital Underground’s catalog.

 

[Robertelamin]

Skee Lo I wish

You are the kind of fella with a lotta Eskimo Brothers.

So you understand this sentiment.

To spend a night with 1993 Kay Hanley I’d be willing to be eskimo bros with @August_West

Hey numbers guy figure out the statistical odds of that. You probably already are

Was gonna be my contribution and the first song I thought of once this thread went hip hoppy.

I figured it would have been this.

I’m definitely not the best guitarist but I have the coolest rig in rock and roll

"Baby Got Back" Sir Mix-a-Lot

Nah, "Posse on Broadway" and "My Hooptie" were both popular if you liked Hip Hop back then.

Neither were hits.

Hip-hop and R&B is such a blind spot for this board, like the other day when someone posted something about Eminem being the only good white rapper. Backstreet wasn't a one hit wonder, if you're going Teddy Riley you're probably better off going with Wreckx-N-Effect but even they probably technically had another hit.

Wreckx-N-Effect - Rump shaker (original video)

"Booti Call" and "Before I Let You Go" were both top 40 hits. Ergo, do not qualify as "one hit wonders".

Haha, you totally looked that up. Don't Leave Me was way bigger than those songs.

 

[Stainmaster]

Not sure if she classifies as a one hit wonder but nothing she did ever touched this amazing song.

ADub theme:

 

[Stainmaster]

Did anyone ask for the worst one-hit wonder?

 

[superjohn]

ADub theme: Tracy Chapman - Talkin' bout a Revolution [High Quality]

She definitely had hits beside Fast Car, I just love that song and felt like looking it up.

Those guys were such tools.

Top 40 = hit. One hit means one hit.

It's like saying "In a Big Country" qualifies Big Country, while ignoring "Fields of Fire" and "Wonderland".
