    The husband and I occasionally have YouTube battle nights where we alternate playing music videos based on a specific theme. For example, we played the Alphabet game a few weeks ago, where each song had to start with the next letter of the alphabet. Yes, it's a bit lame. Shut the fuck up. We enjoy it.

    Anyway, I'm proposing One Hit Wonders for the next game and I need some good ammo. Hit me with your best shots.

    Just stumbled across this jem on youtube the other night when my husband and I were doing the same thing! I forgot how good it was.

    These guys should NOT have been a one-hit wonder. I had this CD and it is perhaps the most underrated album I've ever heard. Almost every song has something creative going for it.

    Duh. Murray Head, from that wonderful musical "Chess".

    Are you implying that Prince is a one hit wonder?

    Yes, sort of like Michael Jackson.

    Actually, I thought "YouTube battle night" was code for "how quickly we can skip right to sexy time" and I was trying to help you get there in one move. Isn't that the object of the game?

    Not sure if it counts as a video as it is just the song? But it is a definite one-hit wonder...

    My favorite one-hit wonders are shitty 90s OHWs. What is this shit? I still hear "Hotstepper" at Mavs games.

    Oh God, do I hate this song. But if we're talking about one hit wonders...



    I'm going to go clean my ears out. You're welcome.
