One-Hit Wonders

One Fine Morning - Lighthouse

Lighthouse (not to be confused with Edison Lighthouse) may have had a few other minor hits, but this is the only that you usually hear.

Good rockin' tune. Also, one of the best rock intros ever...

Moonlight Feels Right - Starbuck

Probably the only marimaba solo in rock history. It won't get more '70s than this...

Smoke from a Distant Fire - Sanford Townsend Band

"Don't let the screen door hit you on your way out"...

Didn't they sing that "Hanging by a Moment" song? If not, whoever did that was a one hit wonder.

.

That song hit #68 on the Billboard chart in 1975,Head East has no top 40 hits with "Since You Been Gone" hitting #46 in 1978 being their highest charted song.

If you were at an ISU party in the mid 1970's you definitely heard it. It was totally a regional Midwestern album cut hit. Add in some REO Speedwagon Ridin the Storm Out and Styx Lady and you were pretty much the ****.

Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside a Phone Booth

Meredith Brooks - I'm a *****

I'm surprised this one hasn't been mentioned yet. Unless it has and I missed it.

 

[Pitt_Clone]

I also find it astonishing that this one hasn't been mention yet. I mean come on people. :twitcy:

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn

Wasn't there a thread about songs that are guilty pleasures? This one falls into that category for me.

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn

Gonna have to call ******** on Natalie. "Wishing I Was There" got a lot of airplay also, and it looks like it peaked at #19 in the US. That qualifies as a hit.

Ok, I stand corrected. And PittClone, you're not the only one with this guilty pleasure.

Ok, I stand corrected. And PittClone, you're not the only one with this guilty pleasure.

I also would be guilty guilty guilty however if Natalie were to ever proposition me. Good thing the wife never reads CF.

"Children of the sun" Billy Thorpe

 

[Stumpy]

Ha, that's Lifehouse. Actually heard them on the radio about a year ago and was surprised they are still relevant. Looks like they've put four songs in the Top 40, so not a one-hit wonder (which is a wonder in itself).

GEORGIA SATELLITES - Keep Your Hands To Yourself - YouTube

Great song, but didn't they also have a hit with the remake of the remake of Hippy Hippy Shake - originally done by Chan Romero then a hit during the 60's by the Swinging Blue Jeans?

 

[MeanDean]

What about that bad from Liverpool back in the 60's. Talk about One Hit Wonders, 2 of them are not even living now

You mean Frankie Goes to Hollywood? Yeah they were a one hit wonder, but that was the 80's not the 60's. Or do you mean Dead or Alive? Yeah, they had this big hit.[video=youtube;PGNiXGX2nLU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXGX2nLU[/video]

Stacy's Mom- Fountains of Wayne
