Mine would be 80s band The Vapors with Turning Japanese, so darned catch but annoying Grin

Kopspijkers Team - One day Fly

They tried to prove that if you hype a song in the media you'll get a #1 position in the hitlist, no matter how crappy it is... and they succeded.

It's quite funny if you can understand it (Dutch)

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

another 1 hit wonder that goes in the Nu-Metalers catogorey is Drowning Pool. . .they did the song "Bodies" which is really catching. . .although they are a current band i think they will stay a 1 hit wonders because they haven't made any new songs that i am aware of since there lead man (and song writer), Dave Williams died. Saw them live in Paris during the music festival. . .was amazing!!

Man, I thought I was the only person to have heard of these guys. Awesome tune. The rest of the album sucked, but Tony Carey got it right there...

I loved that whole tape, wore it out, eventually found it on CD.

As for the one hit wonders, I saw another good one today, remember "Come on Eileen" by Dexy's midnight runners?

i loved that song. Untill they played it to death on the radio, i litterally mean 7 times a day, which may not sound much but when you add listening to the CD and other radio stations, it ended up getting very boring quickly
