    Blur-Song 1

    I dont think Blur qualify as "One Hit Wonders", do they??

    Charles & Eddie - Would I Lie To You?
    DJ Sash! - Encore Une Fois
    Haddaway - What Is Love?
    Spin Doctors - 2 Princes

    Spin Doctors also had a hit with "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong." A much better song, IMO

    Oh! Oh!


    and the song that goes hand in hand for whatever reason:

    Jesus Jones - Right Here, Right Now
    That's hilarious! A split second after I finished hearing the chorus to Unbelievable in my head, I thought 'what was that other song? ....oh ya, Jesus Jones'....and then saw your post. :lol:
    What IS the reason? Prob just cause they were top of the pops at the same time...if I'm not mistaken, Losing MY Religion was also huge at the same time.


    I think they are both similar songs, from British bands with sort of a poppy-Primal Scream kind of vibe. They're similar songs, stylistically, that were big at the same time.

    "Teen Angst" and "Get Off This" beg to differ.

    came across this one last night while watching some old beavis and butthead clips on youtube (and while also looking for more obscure bands form the 90's)

    Stakka Bo- Here We Go
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I5iugfTiIk

    actually the main dude,Bo Johan Renck, directed three episodes of Breaking bad and one episode of The Walking Dead. Also directed a few music videos like Chris Cornell's "Can't Change Me" and most recently David Bowie's "Blackstar" and "Lazarus"

    Jesus Jones - Right Here, Right Now

    They actually had a lesser hit with Real Real Real. I remember it peaking at 3 on MTV's Top 20. EMF had one at the same time with Lies and that went to number 6. After that, we never heard from them, though.

    That's one of my favorites. Mike Edwards wrote some really great lyrics nearly 30 years ago that are still relevant, if not more, today. Very underrated songwriter.

    Blessid Union of Souls also had a huge hit with I Believe. Probably a bigger hit than Hey Leonardo, so they aren't a one hit wonder.
