Bittersweet Symphony's strings part was lifted from another song, but it's still great.

andrew loog oldham orchestra - the last time is the song you're on about, one of my all time favs

alva, i'll probably download those songs when i get an internet connection back, cheers

just something to say about storm, as storm they had other hits, time to burn (which certainly charted higher than storm) and storm animal. storm themselves are actually dance legends jam and spoon, who certainly aren't one hit wonders

original: Zager & Evans

and:

the connels - 74/75

[Ecthy]

the visages version sucks just as does the project pitchfork one

[alva]

shriekback - priests and cannibals

They even have a pretty good football song for West-Ham supporters (1.at least I think it's West Ham - Hammerheads,2. that's what some english guy said it was, so if he's lying, I am ).
Another good one is Coelocanth and malaria.
If you're running out of DL ideas, be sure to try them

[Ecthy]

you guys irritate me

[Buck Birdseed]

No, Zager and Evans were a genuine one-hit-wonder. Charted once, at #1 no less, and were never heard of again.

[Ecthy]

As I have said... 'twas in 1969, BTW.

They did have a record though, you just won't find it anywhere or get any of their other songs on the net.

Is the "Zager" the same one who did that disco anthem "Let's All Chant"? Or is that just coincidence...

[Tolls]

Oh...just looked them up...it's not the same chap...

Wonder if they are related?

EMF - Unbeleivable
Frankie goes to hollywood - Relax

NOTE - after looking at their web site, they don't list Jimi on that countdown, but I can remember watching it and they did have a segment on him.

To even utter words that Hendrix was a one hit wonder is IDIOTIC!!!!

KonKon- I beg your pardon
Midnight Dixie Runners- Come on Eileen

LeAnn Rimes has two popular songs, the other one being Life Goes On. She also has a loyal fanbase.



Eye of the Tiger is awesome!

Yeah I really wouldn't call her a one hit wonder because I hear her music on the radio alot...Saying she's a one hit wonder is say Brittany Spears is a one hit wonder..Although I can't stand their music they do have a loyal fan base

[Tolls]

"Midnight Dixie Runners"...I can't quite see Kevin Rowland dressed up as Rhett Butler somehow...
