That's too priceless.

I can just see him......

"It's got a Gyro-whatzit now?"


Those things are REALLY silly looking though. Why you'd want one for 5 or 10 grand when you can buy an electric Zappy that goes faster and looks cooler for 500 bucks is beyond me.

Not sure if I'd go as far as to call him that era's Eminem now...    But Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go! was definitely a classic and one of the finest soundtrack performances of the time!  

Not sure about some of those others though Josh.  I'm equally confused on a few...

Are you kidding? I was in high school around the time of Vanilla Ice, and he was HUGE for awhile there. Him and MC Hammer. Then, that fateful night on Arsenio Hall, he LITERALLY became a big loser. We all were laughing at him on the school bus the next day, and that year Cool as Ice came out and sunk his career.

The only difference I see between him and Eminem is Eminem hasn't fallen yet. Give him another couple of years.

As for the rest of my list.....if you have Kazaa or Morpheus, go download them. I guarantee that even if you don't know them by name, you've probably heard most of the songs I listed at one point or another.  


And now to more questions.

Didn't Ricky martin have another hit with that stupid "Shake your Bon Bon
 song?  I remember that one used to bug me....and he had another single "She Bangs" that did pretty well.

Falco also had Vienna Calling..... and DER KOMMISAR (which was a huge hit).

Don't you remember?

"Don't turn around...wuh oh,
Der Kommisar's in town...wuh oh....."


Come on....that was a hit.  

Macarena reminded me of another one.

Tag Team, Back again...Check it to wreck it, let's begin
Party on Party people let me hear some noise
DC's in the house, jump jump, rejoice
Cause there's a party over here, a party over there
So waive your hands in the air and shake your derrier
These three words when you're gettin busy.....

WHOOOMP, There it is!


(by the way...they are the only one hit wonder I know that spawned an imitation one hit wonder)

WHOOOT, There it is.

Ok, I have a few corrections.

1. Vanilla Ice was NOT a one hit wonder.  Ice Ice Baby may have been the only single you heard, but he did have a few platinum hits before he went the way of the Dodo. One was "Play that Funky Music". Another popular track was Havin a Roni, and WHO could forget the theme song from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2....NINJA RAP!!! He was the Eminem of his day....

V.I.P is in the hizzy.

2. Joan Osbourne had another big radio hit...."Right hand Man" before "One of us". So technically....she's a 2 hit wonder.


I nominate these one hit wonders:

Lou Bega "Mambo Number 5"
Skee Lo "I wish I was taller"

Better than Ezra "Good"

Blind Melon "No Rain"

Green Jelly "Three little Pigs"

Wheatus "Teenage Dirtbag"

Seattle's Own Harvey Danger with "Flagpole Sitta" (Even though they had 2 good albums, that was the only hit)

Sisqo and that damn "Thong Song" (Yes, I realize he had hits with Dru Hill, but they don't count)

Last but not least....

Len with "Steal My Sunshine"

You know...I didn't even look at the dates to see how old this actually was.

Sheesh. And I thought I was doing well....  

I believe our tax is 8.75%, but that's ok...because I steal everything anyway.  

I just walk into the store, get what I'm gonna get front and center....or get five years for breakin' and enter.

Hey, at least he's getting his 15 minutes of fame. Maybe not for something he WANTS to be famous for, but just the same.  

On behalf of my lady, I hope that they re-release "Jem" on DVD....it would make Christmas shopping very easy.
