[center]What are some of your favorite 1 hit wonder bands?
If you don't know the name of the song/artist, try to give lyrics.
Though the band may not be a 1 hit wonder, it'll still work if they only have 1 song that they're mainly known for.

Jeez, there's so many out there, a few off the top of my head:
House Of Pain - Jump Around
Daft Punk - One More Time
Fountains Of Wayne - Stacy's Mom
Junior Senior - Move Your Feet
Dirty Vegas - Days Go By
Sir Mix Alot - Baby Got Back
Steriogram - Walkie Talkie Man
Eiffel 65 - Blue

Yeah... there's hundreds out there.
The All American Rejects used to be one but they've got a new CD out with a single/video in the top 10 over at MTV.

Ya, but lots of people know them only for those songs.
Pretty much any artist has made more than one song.

Darude might not be a 1 Hit wonder those techno songs take along time to make a really good one so they might be just working on a new CD.

System of a Down - B.Y.O.B.
You could just replace 'one hit wonder' with 'hit', because that's basically the same thing.

Darude has two CDs that I know of.

But I agree with you.

*Intimidates the Sandstorm anthem with weird noises*

NOTE: Notice the bold tongue.gif That is the type of Trance that Darude is.

No. He isn't. He has two CDs that I know of. And if you have the right equipment, it doesn't take THAT long......

Okay. You caught my bluff.

In all the years of making Electronic Music (As mainstreamists loooooooooove to call it Techno -_-) which is since I was 13, I have only made about.... Four or Five songs that I would say are my best.

Now I just gotta find them and burn them and send them......

Hmmm... I liked Badfinger from the 60s
Classical Gas by Mason Williams (pwnzorz)
Drift Away by Dobie Gray (an all time fav)

There's some others, but those sprang to mind right away. I like older music.

Europe had mild success beyond The Final Countdown. Hell, they even had a greatest hits album that received marked acclaim.
