One hit wonders
Jump to: Newest in thread
White Town is a British musical act and is the work of one man, Jyoti Prakash Mishra. White Town is often regarded as a one-hit wonder for its 1997 song "Your Woman," which reached number-one on the UK Singles Chart in January of that year.
Recorded in a flat in Derby  |

"Europe - the final countdown. "
Europe had a minor hit with the follow-up, a ballad called Carrie which was bloody awful.
Secret Smile - Semisonic
Breakfast at Tiffany's - Deep Blue Something
Two Princes - Spin Doctors
Can You Dig it? - The Mock Turtles
What's up? - 4 Non Blondes (the album was bloody awful squared!)
Spaceman - Babylon Zoo (I still love this!)
Show Me Heaven - Maria McKee
Breakout - Swing Out Sister
I believe Spirit In The Sky was a one hit wonder 3 times. The original mentioned above, Dr and The Medics and the Comic Relief version by the Kumars.
The above is brought to you in conjunction with a couple of Bloody Marys so may well be utter codswallop  |
