One Hit Wonders

[spartacus53]

There are literally 1,000's of one hit wonders, but some bands should have gotten a bit more success.

I was going to post Vanity Fair "Hitching A Ride", but it was too painful to post It was 1970 and I was staff for a Boy Scout Camp, TMR for my second year. We used to get to towns by hitching and one night in the pouring rain, no ride. We walked about 4 miles until we hit a bar outside of Monticello and the patrons played that song in honor of our dripping wet butts We did luck out and get a ride later that night to camp. I guess they felt sorry for us wet rats.

1- Mountain

I always liked this song from the "One hit wonder" band Alive and Kicking. Note, this is how they look now. The music is the original track played over the video.

I wouldn't really call Mountain a 1 hit wonder, they had a strong influence on the development of heavy metal music in the 1970s.....

 

[TheRandyMan]

[TheRandyMan]

Did these guys EVER do anything else besides this one?
I remember, what we called, the aerobic version, out on the dance floors, back in the '80's,(was it)?
I ain't all that good with dates, or years, I do try to keep track of at least what month it is. LOL!

pat-tekker-cat I think 99% of the 80's bands were 1 hit wonders.. I never was able to listen to glam bands for too long... OK, I digress, I did like Culture Club until I found out the singer was Boy George... Even looking back at the videos are we sure that is a guy
