[I Am Legion]

Anyone else realize a lot of 1 hit wonders are huge in the Gay crowd? Many Gay anthems and Disco stuff which go hand in hand I guess.

Meredith Brooks-Why was she never Alannis or Sheryl Crow or even Melissa Etheridge? Bitch was a big song
Uptown anthem was big in NY....Uptown Baby
Safe and Sound was a cool vibe song, I feel like it was used in a lot of soundtracks
I always felt like Cutting Crew and The Outfield were the same band and often guessed the other when their 1 hit came on

 

[weaselkenievil]

Don't many of these tbh and the ones I did I don't really care for. Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz is fire though!

 

[jerzey devil]

Are you sure that’s not supposed to be Lipps Inc.’s version of Funkytown? I’ve never heard this version.

Got to Be Real - Cheryl Lynn

Deja Vu (Uptown Baby) - Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz

Fairly easy choices for me this round. I kinda feel bad for Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz, because not only are they true one hit wonders, but the publishing deal they made with Steely Dan to sample Black Cow basically means that they don't make any money off of the song, while Steely Dan made out like bandits. Good for Steely Dan, and I'm a big fan, but that's one hell of a zero sum game.

I don't know it either, but Funkytown was a one-hit wonder TWICE for two different bands, LOL.

Sounds like it’s time for another remake.

 

[Two Crows]

One thing this tournament is showing me is this:

The quality of pop has plummeted since the 1950's.

I felt this was the weakest bracket so far. I took:

Black is Black (changed to Died in Your Arms)
C'est la Vie
Your Love
Criminal
Sunny Came Home

 

[Kryptt]

The Fabulous Thunderbirds - Tuff Enuff / Robbie Nevil - C'est La Vie / Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms / Pseudo Echo - Funkytown / The Outfield - Your Love

I was wondering where that first vote for Shawn came from.

 

[Cyrano200]

I picked songs based on if I remembered them and liked them. Then I listened to the others and discovered some of them were better. Standing fast.
Tuff Enuff - weakest song I picked, one dimensional but fun
Died in you arms - this is the song I always think of for one hit wonder because I actively searched for the cassette after hearing this single and wasted my money on the album. (Could have been one of my Columbia house 80 for a penny pick...)
Criminal and Bitch were both very good songs and the Fiona Apple album wasn't nearly as disappointing as The Cutting Crew's
Sunny came home- catchy and inoffensive. I think my ex overplayed this one in my presence.
MMMBop was going to make based on my kids dancing and singing, but my integrity flared up.
I was enough of a fan of the Outfield to see them play at the Ohio State Fair.
These maybe would have made if I'd listened first, but I didn't recognize the titles
Collide, Funkytown, Safe and Sound, and Got to Be Real were all good stuff.

 

[MoparOrNoCar]

I feel like the 90s could have its own poll. Tons of alternative rock one hit wonders back then.

 

[llperez22]

"died in your arms", "got to be real" and "safe and sound" are my 3 fav from this list.

 

[TheNinja]

Cutting Crew
Mmmm Bop
Funky Town
The Fox

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Are you sure that’s not supposed to be Lipps Inc.’s version of Funkytown? I’ve never heard this version.

Yeah I'm not too sure to be honest. It's interesting they have two bands with the same hit song if that's correct. lol

 

[Chad The Limey]

Wow, Cutting Crew are destroying this bracket. I agree with others, this is the weakest group so far, which might explain their dominance

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Fiona Apple? Voted her because I love her but she has a few well known songs I think.
