ohhhh yes. I used to listen to this and Fantasy by Aldo Nova back to back all the time (I had recorded them from vinyl to a cassette :) )
Desmond Dekker & the Aces "The Isrealites"
YouTube - Desmond Dekker - The Israelites
WOW Aldo Nova ... great One hit Wonder .. I forgot about "Fantasy" I'll have to check Itunes for that one.
Would Asia Heat of the Moment be a "one hit wonder" I can't think of anything else they did
PK .... you totally have me stumped on that one.. and I thought I knew music....I'll Youtube it
Thanks
Does the english version count as a 2nd hit....
YouTube - 99 red ballons - Nena
Nena ..was hot

I was in grade school when Asia was big. Only Time Will Tell and Dont Cry are two others I remember. Oh and The Smile Has Left Your Eyes. Great band.
I also *think* this may be one hit, but I could be wrong....but one of my faves: Jay Ferguson..Shakedown Cruise.
nevermind....he did Thunder Island too
How about Rupert Holmes Escape Song (The Pi�a Colada Song)
Thunder Island ... I always wrongly thought Elton John did that .. thanks
Great thread.
Skee-Lo - "I Wish". = not my normal musical taste but a fun tune.

Asia, was NOT a one hit wonder, they had several hits and they were the combination of guys from several supergroups, including, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson and others. They were a supergroup. I saw them in concert several times, plus I saw the parent groups too, as Yes was one of my all time favorite bands, plus I'm a huge Crimson fan. Do NOT call Asia a one hit wonder in my presence. ;)
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly (define 'hit')
YouTube - Iron Butterfly Part 1 of 2 Wide - In a Gadda da Vida - Complete HD Full Song Music Video
and part 2

Rock Me Amadeus by Falco

My personal fav: Go for Soda by Kim Mitchell (again define 'hit' for the other reason)
YouTube - Kim Mitchell - Go For Soda at the 1985 Junos
Ok while this guy is NOT a one hit wonder, his band sorta is, as most of his success came solo, post Boom Town Rats......

*whispers*
I didnt :)
breathe in, exhale slowwwwly

A great list.
It always killed me that luft means air in german, but the english title was red.:rolleyes:
For anyone still looking:
One Hit Wonder Central - one hit wonders music of the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's
Here's a one hit wonder album: Get the Knack by The Knack.
How about a Great Kick Arse Band
Living Colour "Cult of Personality"
YouTube - Living Colour - Cult Of Personality
Ah but Living Colour had a few other successful songs that I liked. Most notably, "Open Letter to a Landlord". This song made it to 82 on the Hot 100 Billboard chart and to number 11 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
Besides this point, I just don't see LC as a one-hit wonder anything. They just never did see widespread acceptance. Heck, I even saw them when they opened for the Stones on the Steel Wheels Tour at Foxboro Stadium a long time ago.
i totally agree. Hall & oates alone had more #1 hits than them all combined- they should never be considered a one hit wonder.
there's no fixing stupid.
i thought so too til in one of the videos (either the german version or the english one) where she raised her arms up and POOF there was underarm hair...immediate turn-off!
how about Blind Melon "no rain"
Can you tell I really love this thread???? Anyways earlier I reamed out Mavis for saying (or almost saying) Asia was a one hit wonder, BUT Geoff Downes, from Asia, and his Yes (he joined Yes for the Drama Album) bandmate Trever Horn were part of a little band called the Buggles that are a pretty famous one hit wonder. Their "hit" "Video Killed the Radio Star" was THE first video ever on MTV.
YouTube - The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star
And another hit on MTV was Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science"
YouTube - Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science
This is more of a no hit wonder, but this song is great and did get good air play, Nada Surf's Popular....
