Re: One Hit Wonders

I would say it's particularly hard to find a genuine one-hit wonder as the vast majority of bands or artists who do well in the charts with one of their singles will automatically do well with another one.What about Red Box? They're a two-hit wonder as this is the next hit they had after the brilliant 'Lean on Me' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcOA213iIDs

Re: One Hit Wonders

'Friends' by Amii Stewart is hilarious; whenever she sings 'caution' in the song it seems to sound just like 'cushion'.

What has 'throw your cushion to the wind' got to do with anything?

I don't know whether anyone's mentioned Benny Hill yet on this thread, which is of course where he belongs:

I think we did mention that Benny had some minor hits in the 1960s.

Ernie was Xmas No.1 in 1971.
