 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 One Hit Wonders
Mozart. This song was one of several hits for the Austrian singer, though it is by far the only one he will be remembered for by most of the world. Falco tried for years to get the stardom back, alas, his goals were ended by the bus that made a pancake out of his SUV in 1998.
| When you say the word Martika, I think of some Japanese toy or something. What is the only song this one named one hit wonder ever did that people will remember ten years from now? | One Hit Wonders
|
Toy Soldiers. Martika did make a follow up album to the marginally successful one with Toy Soldiers. It was called 'Martika's Kitchen' and featured several songs written by Prince. May have been produced by him too. Either way, it was pathetic, though I've been told that one single from that album actually managed to place on the charts. Either way, Toy Soldiers is the only song people remember 10 years after the fact.
| Who was responsible for the atrocity called 'The Safety Dance'? | One Hit Wonders
|
Men Without Hats. Men Without Hats did the song, which has a truly horrific video featuring dancing dwarfs and other garbage.
| Now we come on to a One Hit Wonder who really should be called a No Hit Blunder. This young man did something that was half rap, half reggae and all unintelligible. Who is responsible for the song Informer? | One Hit Wonders
|
Snow. I don't really know that much about Snow, other than his career died mercifully quick. With a little luck it's dead, buried and relegated to those horrid 'Best of the 90's' music collection commercials.
| Who was anyone with the number 867-5309 cursing loudly in the summer of 1982? | One Hit Wonders
|
Tommy Tutone. Tommy Tutone was making life a living hell for those with this number, as prank callers abounded trying to get in touch with the fabled Jenny.
| Tom Cochrane had a single US hit with this song a number of years back? | One Hit Wonders
|
Life is a Highway. Nothing really interesting about this question, I think I was lucky enough to remember Cochrane's name, don't you? Though, to be fair and since I was corrected, Cochrane has had more than a few hits in Canada. I'll be the first to admit that this quiz is US biased.
| Til Tuesday scored only one real smash with their three albums. Which song is it? | One Hit Wonders
|
Voices Carry. Til Tuesday actually fell apart after two albums, but Aimee Mann kept the moniker alive for another two years because she could make three times the money touring under that name. In the 90's she has made three critically acclaimed but commercially mediocre albums. 1993's 'Whatever', 1995's 'I'm With Stupid' and 1999's 'Bachelor no. 5'
| This manufactured one hit wonder band of the late 1980's still makes me retch to think about them. Five dolts from Boston who could barely sing and dance together and had the gall to call their incredibly lame sophomore album 'Hangin' Tough'. Who were they? | One Hit Wonders
|
The New Kids on the Block. NKOTB. Those five letters in that order still produce nausea. I spent my entire seventh grade year trying to avoid hearing those morons. Luckily, they have broken up. Unfortunately, N'sync and the Backdoor Boys have replaced them. While they had more than one hit, they had them in such a short span of time that I heartily defend my inclusion of them on this list.
