Oddee’s take on the top ten one-hit wonders:
-Los Del Rio: Macarena (1996)
-Vanilla Ice: Ice Ice Baby (1990)
-Baha Men: Who Let the Dogs Out? (2000)
-Right Said Fred: I’m Too Sexy (1991)
-Dexys Midnight Runners: Come On Eileen (1982)
-Joan Osbourne: One of Us (1995)
-Nena: 99 Luftballons (1984)
-The Knack: My Sharona (1979)
-Meredith Brooks: Bitch (1997)
-Survivor: Eye of the Tiger (1982)
Not a bad list, but obviously made up of relatively recent songs. In any case, I liked Baha Men.
