50 Greatest One Hit Wonders on Ch4 now?


It's brilliant, all those records you thought you'd forgotten but you can sing every word when you hear them years later (much to the displeasure of the rest of your family!)


Anyways, if you feel like being nostalgic, flick over to CH4- you won't be disapointed!

I'd answer you TCL, but I'm currently dancing round my livingroom to It's Raning Men!
Question Author
Raning? oooer!

and that Sunscreen song..... those lyrics wow.

Im watching! Completely forgot the rubbish slow bit in that Spaceman song and the singer...what a t*sser!! Sorry but its true!

Some real classsics in there that I have now downloaded.There were even some songs that previously i couldnt care less about which sounded brilliant eg The Archies.


Funniest bit for me was Pat Sharp talking about Kung Fu Fighting and how it starts slow and then it explodes into this great pop tune.....just like Kung Fu !

Strawberry Switchblade should have come top. Incidentally, didn't "Kung Fu Fighting" come in at number one on another one of these list programmes a few years back? I think it was Top Ten something, because I dimly remember Phill Jupitus announcing it. Anyway, if anyone missed it, here's the list: http://www.1hw.org/c4list.shtml

I thought the program was great fun but I expected to see Vanilla Ice in there somewhere. He's the first thing that pops into my head whenever someone says "One Hit Wonder".


Men Without Hats - Worst Video Ever.

Possibly the worst song ever made, but why was the Macarena not in there somewhere? Surely a great one-hit wonder...

Was EMF's "Unbelievable" not a one-hit wonder?

Worst song on there defo Space man by Babylon Zoo.


I felt robbed when i walked out of woolworths got home to put my cd on and was wowed for about 10 seconds and then threw the cd on the fire..

lol yeah homer, know what you mean, the bit they featured on the ads (was it jeans??) was the only good bit of that song.


there's loads of one hit wonders that didnt make that list that I loved,so slight disapointment there- mind you I've no taste, I like The Dooleys for heavens sake!

The one i liked the most was McArthur Park by Richard Harris!! The one about the cake that falls into a puddle and he doesnt know how to take it because it took so long to bake it,and he will never find that recipe again!! Classic lyrics!!!
