N2Deep video reppin with the Aggie hat. Forgot about that

4 nom blondes song is the worst song of all time.

Without Rico Suave we wouldn't have Weird Al's Taco Grande.



I am taking Benny to see Weird Al this summer

Thought he would lose it when seeing Amish Paradise and I'm Fat

If a song doesn't land on the Billboard top 100, it is not a hit. Radio play does not make a song a hit. Charting on a rock, rap, R&B, etc chart does not make a song a hit. For a song to be a hit, it has to be popular among the masses. Material Issue and Orbit are zero hit wonders.
By this definition "Stairway to Heaven" isn't a hit song.
As with everything, there is always going to be exceptions to any rule. Stairway was never actually released as a single and if we had this discussion in 1972, Stairway to Heaven wouldn't be considered a "hit".

Bloodhound Gang's "Fire Water Burn" qualifies as a hit, in my opinion.

so does this disqualify The La's as a 90s one hit wonder since their one hit of the 90s was covered in the 90s ???

YouTube recommend this for me today. Apparently I'm a fan of one-off hits from the 90's with liberal use of the word mother****er.

Great song. If you like songs about drugs and aliens/outer space and such dig into their catalog. Dave Wyndorf is a mad genius.

Also thought of this one earlier (sxm played their other sorta known song "Cruel to be kind") and I immediately thought of the crush I had on Kay Hanley back then. Still do, kinda.

Letters to Cleo, "Here and Now"

Cracker is definitely not considered a 1-hit wonder. Get Off This & Teen Angst were chart toppers on the own right.

I just listened to those two songs and vaguely remember hearing Get Off This, but I've never heard Teen Angst. However, 99.5 KISS played Low all the time in the 90's. So to me they're a 1 hit wonder.

This would be like me claiming Good Thing by Fine Young Cannibals as a one hit wonder.
