bcsride 486 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 HFCers, Great thread. It seems to me you could create a viable tribute band doing one hit wonders. Sort of an oxymoron I know, but I think audiences would love it - if they got it? I’ll offer up Come on Eileen. Not my favorite probably, but a classic one hitter. Link to post Share on other sites
Feynman 2,633 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Holy... I have never paid attention the words of the Mardones tune. So much for my casual impressions of that song. Link to post Share on other sites

jwhitcomb3 685 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The VaporsTurning JapaneseGreat song, one among many on their two albums. "New Clear Days" is top notch all the way through, and "Magnets" has some good stuff too, including the catchiest song about a mass suicide ever.I love one hit wonders, so it is hard to choose just one, but for me it has to be "Girl of My Dreams" by Bram Tchaikovsky (followed quickly by "Shake Some Action" by the Flaming Groovies, "Starry Eyes" by the Records, and "Places that are Gone" by Tommy Keene.)

Tres Aardvarks 935 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Behold the creepiest video of all time: Oh shit! Didn't see that zen posted the Mardones clip already lol. Man, I had to look up how old that creepy dude was when that song came out: 34!!! Damn right, I'd tell you to leave the 16 year old alone!! My first rock concert (with Hunters & Collectors): Midnight Oil - Beds are burning...maybe they had hits in other markets, but this is their only song I remember in the states!

Willie G. Moseley 3,488 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Here a +1 for the first example or maybe "Turning Japanese" or maybe "Kick Out the Jams", too. Lotta folks don't know that the guitar on "Hot Smoke and Sassafras" was a ES-335 thru a Kustom tuck and roll amp. Link to post Share on other sites
