One-hit wonders are really important for music. They make the mainstream way more diverse then would be without them.

I never considered that. Thank you for fertilizing my brain.

One of my favorite artists is Gotye, whose career ended because of being boxed as a one-hit wonder, which he is. However, his music is fucking amazing, he's a genius, and he literally won the best alternative album Grammy at same year as Somebody That I Used To Know, well deserved, AGAINST Björk and Fiona Apple. But I guess it just boils down to the good old stereotype of mainstream vs alternative.

If you are interested in one hit wonders I would highly recommend Todd in the Shadows because he doesn't just review the obvious one hit wonders but ones that are fairly interesting for American people because I knew a few of the One Hit Wonders because they are popular outside of the US, for eg Midnight Oil only had one hit in the US called Beds are Burning, but in Australia they are very popular. With almost every album in the 80's having a hit song chart in the Australian music charts. And then another really interesting one is The Crazy World of Arthur Brown(basically a pioneer of prog rock and shock rock and he is a big influence on rock overall, but his music is certainly definitely more on the experimental side and he has even released an album this year and since the late 60's he has been making his own music). Also a few other notable one hit wonders for the US are Yello(a Swiss electro industrial ambient trio), and Bobby McFerrin(an actual Jazz musician beyond his one hit) and those are just the ones his One Hit Wonderland series introduced me to as a whole but that's mainly because I like the weird artists that only had One Hit because the reason they didn't care about their hit that much and just created their music as normal even after the hit.

I remember watching a video years ago of one hit wonders, and the Neighborhood was on there with Sweater Weather.

I've also had other people in my life love their music too, and Sweater Weather was never even brought up.

So Duck Sauce as a duo are a one hit wonder, but the two members had some solo hits too, being A-Trak and Armand Van Helden. A-Trak did the super popular remix of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Heads Will Roll, and Armand Van Helden did the classic song U Don't Even Know Me. One hit wonder as a duo, but a few more hits between them.

i really liked the alesha dixon "dont he wash up dont he clean up no he never cleans up" so relatable tbh. to me it's a one hit wonder

fun fact: my dad got his leg broken during that “i get knocked down, but i get up again” song. they were opening for a band he was seeing and he was on the edge of a mosh

You should do a "ranking my followers/subscribers favorite songs"

YES THE CLIMB BY HOM IS SO HILARIOUS

Kalimba is the goat song... It was the only song that was allowed on our school computers cause it was pre-loaded and it was THE CHOICE when making videos. make a preloaded song tierlist with the U2 songs and kalimba

6:02 bruh wtf I literally freaked out. I was wearing my earphones and was on full volume 😭

kalimba was such a bop!! years later i sampled the drums n made a bop! check out “music takes me up” by mr scruff its amazing

I think our music tastes are the exact opposites of each other lol. Good video tho!

I do remember the song on my Windows computer mr scruff- kalimba. I think deleted it cuz I didn't know if it was an actual song 🤣 18:07

Very happy to see respect for Mr. Scruff

ok i definitely had the same thiccity blue dell laptop… and of course it was preloaded with ninja tuna

The nostalgia I felt when you played Kolimba

I hate when people call people with a bigger song than others one hit wonders. Like a great example is Aminé, he has his major hit Caroline but yet he still has platinum and gold plaques for Reel It In, Spice Girl, Red Mercedes, etc. but Caroline is just his most popular song because that’s what blew him up. And people STILL call him a one hit wonder. BRO IS LIKE 15 TIMES PLATINUM

Kim makes a song about loosing her diamond earring in the ocean

the windows 7 classic ninja tuna
