I couldn't think of just one song to call my favorite until I saw this. Word up Tom Petty rules.

Agreed. I believe I have eleven or twelve albums of his and some old vinyl as well.

I could probably reel off a 2 CD set of one hit wonders for the 80's, those are most of the songs that I remember most (AHa and Kajagoogoo anyone?)

**Slime Slayer** · 08-21-2009, 12:34 PM

is that the extended version of tainted love? (cant see it while im on my wii)
the longer version is twice as good as the shorter one.

It's not. I may have to find that version of it.

Oh (Pretty Women) by one of my favorite bands Van Halen it was such a cool video and Alex Van Halen was dressed up like a women the one who was the damsel in trouble.

**Dudebro** · 08-22-2009, 02:53 AM

I never understood why people make fun of one hit wonders. Sure it sucks for the band that they didn't go anywhere but at least they made that one good song. I don't think it makes the one song any worse or better, a song is a song.

Me too. If anything, they probably bring back a memory of some sort. I have always liked the one hit wonders. Besides, it's one more hit song than I have wrote.

I agree. Also, depending on the situation it often only takes one hit to secure someone financially for life. That's not always the case, but if the artist wrote the song, they can make royalties that last a good long while.

people have the tendancy to think that if a band is a one hit wonder, that they only had one good song, witch is almost never the case

**LunaAngelRose** · 08-24-2009, 12:12 PM

Don't think Van Halen was making fun of Orbinson's song "(Oh) Pretty Women I think they were trying to make this one hit wonder be listened to more and how they did the video was great they dressed up in different costumes it was funny Roth dressed up like Napoleon.
