One Hit Wonder

[Autumn_Dawn93]

What is your favorite One hit wonder and why

Or you can tell one song that a particular band has that is so awesome, that they won't be able to make another one that good.

How could I forget those? The 80's were full of great one hit wonders! XD.

"Let the Music Play" - Shannon

Oh, and another notable song, though not from the 80's is "Dancing in the Moonlight" - King Harvest

So totally not joking. o_o

[joebobohobo]

none of the bands i listen to have any hits. hardly anyone knows about most of them. ><

altohugh i suppose

Becoming the Bull-- Atreyu. (bubble gum band. >.>)

[Autumn_Dawn93]

Panic at the disco is F'n awesome band...but my fav song by them is i write sins not tragedies

[black_wreath]

Mine are out of spite.
Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm, I enjoyed seeing crappy Nu-Metal bands fail. However this failure was the sweetest of them all: a Nu-Metal band remembered only for one song which wasn't even theres! XD

Also that Sandi Whatsherface with that Wish I Was A Punk Rocker song (It's beautiful, you see? I've already forgotten it!) because the pissed me off so much. It is such a contradiction it's hilarious, even more so because Sandi Whatsherface doesn't seem like the type to understand irony, let alone inject it into a song of hers, leading me to believe she is simply an idiot. Also, it sucked!

Zager and Evans - In the Year 2525
Tommy James and the Shondells - Crimson and Clover
Devo - Whip It

Why are you speaking of Panic At The Disco in a 'One Hit Wonders' thread. They aren't a one hit wonder band. They might be. And don't get me wrong I am at the top of the fanocity meter for Panic. I know all 28 songs by heart.

btw, is IWSNT the only song you know?
If so, it wouldn't suprise.

[Autumn_Dawn93]

No person it's not the only song I know

and if you take a look at the first post in this thread it says

Or you can tell one song that a particular band has that is so awesome, that they won't be able to make another one that good.

I know what kinda thread this is I MADE IT

and i was stating MY opinion, notice I said my favorite song by them, not the best song by them


sorry if i sounded like a betch

For one thing I have a name, thank you too person.
And I know your stating your opinion, and I think it's sort of wrong in a way. Because in my opinion they have made songs that are better that IWSNT. The band themselves even think they've made betters songs than that.
It's a good song true, and I loved it. I don't like it now, because I've heard it to many times.
The time of Pretty. Odd. has come. Start listening.

And I'm sorry if I sound like one.

I don't know if it's only in Ga that we learn this, but an opinion can't be wrong, though I respect yours.

As you said the band themselves think they've made better songs than that, another opinion

Let me restate once again...I DID NOT SAY IT WAS THE BEST, I SAID IT WAS MY FAVORITE

Actually, an opinion can be stated as wrong, but only by a person that thinks the opinion is wrong. Which in itself is an opinion.

I don't really get why you've italisized think. Because I meant it as the band uses that thought as a thought. Not an opinion. Well now that's probably it. Now I'm confused.

I don't need you to restate that. I get it.

Okay whatever...I'll say this, I'm sorry if my opinion offended you, actually I don't even know how this thing even got started but IWSNT is still my favorite song by the band, but that's just my D.A opinion, I'm obviously confused since I can't see how saying IWSNT is my fav song by them can start a big whatever this was, but Okay O.o

Thanks for your thoughts though

Yes, therefore no opinion can be wrong because it is what the person thinks. What the person thinks can be factually wrong, but if they state it as an opinion, it cannot be wrong. Facts are right. Opinions are wrong.

And on another note...from now on, I suggest we all say either IMO, or just flat out say that there may be better opinions to avoid b!tchrants like this one.

Now...for my "One hit wonder":
Bowling for Soup: 1985

And in my opinion, Hinder's best song is "Lips of an Angel". It doesn't get any better than that. As for NEWS..."Ai Nante". And Arashi? "Cry For You". Kanjani8 should've stopped at "Zukkoke Otokomichi", but they went on...and on...and on...

Ah! I love Georgia Satellites and Sir Mix-a-Lot. ^_^

Another good one, "Rappers Delight" - Sugarhill Gang. They had other pretty good songs, but nothing compared to "Rappers Delight", in my opinion.
