asta Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Actually, Frankie Goes to Hollywood wasn't a one hit wonder... you just had to be, um, in the right circles to know that... Onward. The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Robert John) Give up the Funk (Parliament) Electric Avenue (Eddy Grant) Barbara Ann (first by the Regents on American Graffiti, not the Beach Boys - same song) Love Potion No. 9 (seemingly everyone has done it, once) Video Killed the Radio Star (the Buggles) a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Parliament? They had lots of hits! Here are mine: "Suavecito" by Malo. "Tell Her She's Lovely" by El Chicano "Everybody Plays the Fool" by the Main Ingredient "I Could Love You So Divine" by ??? (can't remember the name but she was 14) "To You, My Love" by June Pointer (of the Pointer Sisters. Solo album.) "Birdland" by that jazz band whose name I forget "Oh Girl" by the Chi Lites (they may have had earlier hits, not sure) "Strawberry Letter 22" "Roseanna" by Toto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Rico Sauve - Gerardo? (Child in the 80's, teen in the 90's. I remember more from the 90's.) Actually he had two hits -- "Rico Suave" and "We Want the Funk." If you miss him, please watch the movie "A Million to Juan." He really adds something to it. About Devo, I saw a tour announcement for them. Presumably there are still some fans of theirs out there, somewhere....? Here's where they're headed this year....

pdalley Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 'Sweetheart' Franke and the Knockouts (198? - the band famous because of this hit and the fact that Tico Torres of Bon Jovi was in this band for like five minutes :tongue_smilie:) 'She's a Bad Mamajama' by Carl Carlton 'Kung Fu Fighting' by ? 'New Orleans Ladies' by LeRoux 'No Easy Way Out' by Robin Tepper - went along with that painful montage in Rocky 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ListmakerMel Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Wild Cherry - Play that Funky Music White Boy Redbone - Come and Get Your Love Golden Earring - Radar Love and Twilight Zone (Two Hit Wonder?) And I'm sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree with Night Ranger being a one-hit wonder band...they've had at least ten top-100 hits over the years. They'll be preforming at Walt Disney World at the Food and Wine Festival for three nights in October! :thumbup1: Okay, so they may not be a huge-hit band, but they can still rock!

But maybe growing up in the UK, we had different one hit wonders.
