One Hit Wonders

50 Greatest One Hit Wonders.

Is it sad that I know all of these songs?
Answer: Yes. Yes it is.

50 Greatest One-Hit Wonders

From Oddee.com. Be glad most of these only had one hit. But the list is wrong: some aren't one-hit wonders at all, as noted below.

1. Los Del Rio - Macarena (1996) - I suffered through this song at 57 wedding receptions in the late 90s.

2. Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby (1990)

3. Baha Men - Who Let the Dogs Out? (2000) - who let you in... to the studio?

4. Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy (1991)

5. Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen (1982) - The entire band looked like they needed a bath.

6. Joan Osbourne - One Of Us (1995)

7. Nena - 99 Luftballons (1984) - the video cost $18, including tax.

8. The Knack - My Sharona (1979) - Not a one-hit wonder. Their follow-up single, "Good Girls Don't," made it to #11 on the Billboard charts.

9. Meredith Brooks - Bitch (1997)

10. Survivor - Eye of the Tiger (1982) - Survivor had several Billboard hits after this: "Burning Heart" (#2), "The Search Is Over" (#1), "I Can't Hold Back" (#1).
