One-ders

XM radio recently had a temporary channel for one-hit wonders.  I enjoyed listening to it; some songs were very familiar, some not so much.  I was surprised that some of these bands only had one hit.  These songs were very big for a short time; a few have stuck in the hearts and minds of many of us.  Maybe just because they're catchy, maybe because they are very evocative of their particular time, we remember them.


Trio- Da Da Da

A weird little song that keeps popping up in movies and commercials.  Catchy, simple, and- German?  Yep.




Shocking Blue- Venus

The band was a one-hit wonder, but the song came back to life with Bananarama.




Digital Underground- Humpty Dance

Yeah, this one pops up once in awhile, and is very much of its time.




Deee-Lite- Groove Is In The Heart

I loved this one when it came out, and bought the CD- probably one of my first CDs.
