Downloading 1 Hit Wonders

[Captain Rooster]

We all need to smile today; yesterday was brutal.

I was thinking about downloading 1 hit wonders and laughing at their miserable failure. Sounds bad?

Now I just need a list of the worst "guilty pleasures" songs out there.

Here's my list so far:
Safety Dance

Sad but true - I need more ideas.




<CENTER><img src=http://www.ltrooster.homestead.com/files/911Eagle.jpg></center>
<CENTER>Remember Our Fallen Brothers and Sisters</center>

[JustJon]

I liked Safety Dance. Hell, there's three versions of the song, Rooster.

How about "Sombody's Watching Me." Rockwell was a real winner

[A.J.]

"Der Kommisar" -- either the Falco or After the Fire versions.

Hey boobsie, is this 80's volume 3 or 4 you took this listing from? I already said Rockwell on page one.

And none of these songs have any wakacha. You'd need a nice 70's 1 hit wonder like Hooked on a Feeling to get wakacha.

<img src="http://www.chaoticconcepts.com/bans/rfjustjon6.jpg">

[EffMeBoobs]

I don't know what this volume 3
or 4 that you speak of Jonnie Boy
but my list reeks of sha-zaam
which is way cooler than wa-ka-
cha.

Oh and I had to mention
Rockwell, well because the
Rockwell's contacted me and
said they would much rather
have me talk about their one-hit
than someone who lacks sha-
zaam.

You don't know what a 1 Hit Wonder is (Dancing Queen is Abba's "Greatest Hit"), you don't know what a wakacha is. This was over before it began, ShotMeBoobs. I win. So stop listing your Rock of the 80's, Just Can't Get Enough and Living in Oblivion cds.
