🏆 WORLD CUP: One Hit Wonders 🏆 THE FINAL: POST 265

[BodyInTheThames]

I guess that depends if you’re strictly separating solo artists’ single hits from bands they’ve had hits with

But like, there are lots of pedants in here so never mind

[UncleRetrospective]

You’ll be wanting this then.

Depeche Mode - Behind The Wheel (Official Video)

You Do (Full Length)

I just looked up the err… 11 minute version of McAlmont and Butler’s other song, and was a bit disappointed it’s actually only 7 1/2 minutes long. Never listened to the album, but I’m guessing it’s one of those ‘hidden track at the end of the album’ affairs and the hidden track sounds like someone making coffee and cleaning their teeth.

Only Men at Work and Macy Gray for me, but their main ones were so much bigger than everything else that they still count imo. Great list

[get_it_horse]

Definitely some sort of improvement.

[Funkhouser]

It’s SECOND ROUND time and at least two of the pre-tournament favourites will be heading home:

• Turning Japanese - The Vapours
• Video Killed The Radio Star - Buggles

• Yes - McAlmont & Butler
• Your Woman - White Town

• A Girl Like You - Edwyn Collins
• Steal My Sunshine - Len

• Ca Plane Pour Moi - Plastic Bertrand
• 99 Red Balloons - Nena

• Drinking In LA - Bran Van 3000
• Bitch - Meredith Brooks

• Breakfast At Tiffany’s - Deep Blue Something
• It’s Raining Men - The Weather Girls

• Rapper’s Delight - Sugarhill Gang
• You Get What You Give - The New Radicals

• Down Under - Men At Work
• What Is Love? - Haddaway

[Funkhouser]

Your Woman v Yes and Edwyn v Len are a fucking nightmare.

[anon75298087]

I mean, you could’ve done something about that?

[Funkhouser]

Would Cups must follow the correct format (winner A v Runner up B, runner up A v winner B etc), no matter the consequences or there will be anarchy.

[Octobadger]

I can’t believe the New Radicals got out of that group. Such a distant 4th for me.

[Funkhouser]

Yeah that song’s popularity baffles me to this day tbh. And there’s no way it’s better than What’s Up? and Save Tonight. Astonishing.

[crisps]

Gonna get an absolute pummelling now though I reckon.

[SenorDingDong]

Can’t believe the Fuck Its are out

[TKC]

@Funkhouser

And there’s no way it’s better than What’s Up?

Stop getting One Hit Wonders wrong!!!

[SunnyB]

Some tough choices there. Haddaway vs Down Under. Oof.

[Funkhouser]

You disagreeing with me is just confirmation that I’m right.

[TKC]

New Radicals vs 4 Non Blondes would be a good tie in the World Cup Of Artists Where The Singer Wears A Shit Hat tbf

[TKC]

vs

[TKC]

Didn’t realise Corgan was the singer in the New Radicals

[zanimos]

Buggles bloke has proper weird kids tv presenter vibe.
