David Hasselhoff was big in Germany at the end of the eighties - shame on us

Lighting Seeds with "Football's coming home" - an all-time classic, but never heard of the band again

jas1552 · 11-10-2003, 03:56 AM

Silverchair - Tomorrow I liked every song their first CD. I bought the 2nd one and every song on it totally sucked.

DJ Reno · 11-10-2003, 03:59 AM

Anybody remember Don Johnson's "Heartbeat"?

He was big in Miami Vice, but his singing career wasn't that big

Maca · 11-10-2003, 06:29 AM

aah c'mon does noone remember

Ramajam's Black Betty or The Knack's My Sharona?

Zayne E. · 11-10-2003, 06:35 AM

Ya'll are sticking with your generation, for the most part. How many one-hit wonders had a movie made about that hit? I know of one...The Wonders (Oneders) "That Thing You Do"

Maca · 11-10-2003, 06:36 AM

..or Howard Jones' 'What is Love' ?

Maca · 11-10-2003, 06:37 AM

...or indeed that seminal classic The Vapors 'Turning Japanese' ?

"More Than Words" was by the band Extreme - and they had many popular tunes. More Than Words was just overplayed. It was on the album "PornoGraffitti" which also spwawned the equally huge hit, "Hole Hearted." Other tunes off that disk that received acclaim, and much airplay at the time, were "Decadence Dance," "Get the Funk Out," the title track & "He Man Woman Hater."

Other songs that were quite popular by Extreme, include "Kid Ego" and "Mutha, Don't wanna go to School Today" off their first album. Also on that album was thier song, "Play With Me" which was a hit off the Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure soundtrack. It's the radical guitar jam that you hear during the scene with all the dead notables running amuck in the San Dimas Mall.

Thier third album was a concoction of the band's various influences that they made the way they wanted and against the advice of their record company. It was eagerly anticipated after the "EXTREME" success of "PornoGraffitti," was self-produced and was a massive flop. Gary Cherone (their singer) went on to do a brief stint as the lead singer of Van Halen. Nuno (guitar/vox/songwriter) released a solo album or two that can best be described as eclectic.

McFerrin has been a perennial jazz master for as long as i can remember. Don't worry be happy was originally his song in the 70's. Guess he needed some money for that brief period in the 80's or something.

Not a lot of people know that, just thought I'd chime in

King Missile. Like just about all of the other bands mentioned here as 'one hit wonders' they had quite a few hits, and wrote a ton more songs for other bands that turned into hits. The lead guy on King Missile is one of the most sought after producers in the world now.

Furious_Female · 11-10-2003, 10:47 AM

It's really old big band/swing from the 30s or something and was probably his most popular song. I have the mp3 but could never find my favorite version of it that he did.
