O is for One Hit Wonder

A one hit wonder is mostly used to describe songs and is a person or group known mainly for a single success. That's not to say they didn't do other things. It's just that their OHW is what most people remember them by.

I’m, by no means, referring to one hit wonders as derogatory. In fact, I have some OHW's that I love to sing over and over again. And I realize some won't agree with me on a song being a OHW. But that's okay. We can agree to disagree. :D

      OHW's that come to mind:

4 Non Blondes – What’s Up

      The Knack – My Sharona

Soft Cell -- Tainted Love

Toni Basil -- Mickey

Los del Rio – Macarena

      EMF -- Unbelievable
      Sinead O’Connor – Nothing Compares to you
      Blind Melon – No Rain
      Vanilla Ice -- Ice Ice Baby
      Nena -- 99 Luftballoons

But my absolute fav would be ...Dexy's Midnight Runners -- Come On Eileen.
