She Drive's Me Crazy - Fine Young Cannibals

No way man, FYC was a TWO-hit wonder. Remember "Good Thing"? Great tune.

SR-71 - Right Now is a pretty good song, didn't see much else by them

 

[Red Dawn]

They also do an excellent cover of Elvis Presley's Suspicious Mind

I can't tell if you're being funny or serious, but either way...I laughed at you. :Q

Blind Melon a one hit wonder? No way. I still listen to 'em all the time, and, while "No Rain" is still a favorite of mine (especially live/acoustic versions), they did some other great tunes too. Too bad about Shannon Hoon.

Let's see. How about Take That - Back For Good? Or Del Amitri - Roll To Me

Let me guess, Jeanny was deemed too shocking for the USA?
Now that I think of it, the original was in German, people probably just didn't understand the song.

Emilia - Big Big World

 

[Miramonti]

Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks
Take on Me - A-Ha

My favorite one hit oneders!

Utilizing a clever sample of the bass line to Queen?s ?Under Pressure,? ?Ice Ice Baby? zipped to No. 1 in 1990. But Ice?s strutting ego and unwarranted boasting about an imaginary gangster past led to a fall that was as quick as his unexpected rise.

hey, wasn't it David Bowie who sang under pressure? pretty sure it was.

Sir Mix was the best. a year or two ago he joined up with The Presidents of the United States of America to for Subset.

"Down Under" was by Men at Work
Never heard of "Pop Goes the World"

To those who said Don McLean- American Pie, you are way off base.

While American Pie was McLean's biggest hit, he had, I believe 5 songs that charted in the top 20, and a few others that were in the top 40. His song Vincent has been covered by hundreds of artists and so have Dreidel and Prime Time. He is definately not a one-hit wonder, even though American Pie outstrips his other stuff in populartity.

43. "How Do You Talk To An Angel" by The Heights (1992)

But they had their own show on Fox...

Rupert Hine - Escape (The pina colada song)

Rupert Holmes

Under Pressure was by Freddie Mercury of Queen, but David Bowie released a cover of Mercury's version.

I think that at one time Queen and David Bowie even worked together for one version of it as a tribute to Mercury, who died of AIDS.
