It pisses me off about Fastball. The rest of the stuff of their album was much much better than The Way.

Anyone see The Breakfast Club?

It's a shame to call them a one-hit-wonder. Great band. The live album rocks. The early stuff rocks too.

It's pop, but it's GOOD pop. Perhaps the best innuendo track ever known to mankind.

The Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch (and it's numerous remixes)

The only surviving MP3 from my Napster days.

Fastball had another top 10 hit. Out of my head.

Golden Earring also had "When the Bullet Hits the Bone." Either way, Radar Love is an awesome song.

Pixies - "Where is my mind?" comes to mind, though I don't know if that was really a hit. It was on the Fight Club soundtrack, so it was at least somewhat popular.

That's the real name of "When the Bullet Hits the Bone"? I didn't know. They should have just called it When the Bullet Hits the Bone. Oh well.

Holy cow, I just did some searching and the band, Golden Earring has been around for ages.
They started in 1965 and are still together making albums.
