One Hit Wonderland requests are about to be re-opened. Be warned -- they're going to be insanely expensive.

I'm thinking like $350. That's way too much. But the last time I put them up they were less than half that and they sold out insanely quickly. So I'm going to press my luck and ridiculous overprice them and then maybe drop them down based on the responses I get. Or jack them up! Who knows. I like doing the requests but I don't want to be doing them for like eight years like I did last time I did this. 

I get the feeling this is going to be a bit of an April tradition on the ol' Patreon

Oh no... he'll get paid a bunch by rich people. The horror.

Dog

Seriously, you should have put them up for auction. I know that comes with the problem of "a few rich people racking up the prices for everyone else" but I think with some tweeking the auction system would benefit you moreso

Chuu

I like anything from Salt n' Peppa to Idiot Flesh and The Residents so I could probably provide you with a bit of a varied list of choices.

I specifically created my patreon profile for the purpose of being able to make requests for OHW which was a while ago as you've been on a request hiatus. I don't question your price range because I get it but it's a bit out of my range due to adult type bullshit like buying heating oil for the house. Would you consider something more along the lines of $150 if I give you a list of songs for you to pick from? It would be like a request but you would also have some control over the choice.

well I mean, it doesn't really matter. you don't pay the money until the end of the month, that's how patreon works

one time payment

Todd in the Shadows

I think I may just shell out for it this time. I'm torn between Love, Loreena McKennitt, and the Veronicas.

Teddy Haines

Johann Pachelbel Canon in D?

Rookie XP

While I value your opinion and find you entertaining, I think I'm good. Hope you have takers.

Matthew Abbott

You can just limit the number of Patreons on that tier. First come, first served.

Joss Strand

I know you said you'd never do it, but if the Patreon requester were willing to provide you with some research materials and some context as a British person who was around for that time when the UK public got Rage Against The Machine to the coveted UK Christmas #1 on the charts... would you be interested?

Clair H.

So, that OHW crossover with Rantasmo on Army of Lovers "Crucified" is on hold, if I understand?

Emanuel Alfredsson / Lemanic

My need for a OHW on Cars is legendary around these parts. Guess I'm eating nothing but noodles for a few months.

Vex Fidel

If I had that kinda spare cash, I'd make you choose between Anna Nalick and TATU.

Matthew

Waiting til Friday would be rad for those with paychecks. I may not even be able to swing it but if i want any chance its gonna be then. Appreciate the heads up though!

Adam Nelson

Ah, man, if I had the money, I'd pick "I Want Candy"!

I want to see "Steal my Kisses" by Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals. Will I pay $350? Maybe...

Two songs that I'm requesting I think would be great for One Hit Wonderland: Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back) by Eamon and Freestyler by Bomfunk MC's

Daniel Woodward

With how fast they sold out I doubt you would've had a chance.

Josh Spicer

My only request would be wait until next Friday but if you can't it's fine. One day you will review "Bitch". EDIT: Oh! It'll be forever! So yes!

Josh Spicer

honestly, since these videos take you a LONG time to produce, that amount of money is not unreasonable.

Can we request a song that's been a hit on the charts multiple times? I was thinking "Popcorn" by Hot Butter.

Maybe if you do a little dance to it.

ParagonRocky

If I could afford it, I would request Dream Theater's "Pull Me Under" or "Stutter Rap" by Morris Minor and the Majors.

Damn. Knew I should've gotten one back when they were affordable.

Alan Kase

Also, if I were to pay you enough, can there be a Top 20 Worst Hit Songs of 2000?

Thomas Carmody

He's started tweeting about taxes, so I have no idea.

Michael Russell

Do we need to keep refreshing the patreon page to see when we can jump on this, or is there going to be an announcement for when the hammer drops?

Noah Ramon

I have a few requests. You can make your choice based on my suggestions. I think you may enjoy these based on the research they involve "Major Tom (Coming Here)" - Peter Schilling "96 Tears" - ? and the Mysterians (If you want One Hit Wonderland to take another trip to the '60s) "Torn" - Natalie Imbruglia "She's A Beauty" - The Tubes

Thomas Carmody

I think he did that before but they sold out so fast that it overflowed the limiter or something.

Jeffrey Rysewyk

Todd, I actually think that's a reasonable amount. That number will keep the requests low, and you'll be well compensated for your time. I'm seriously considering dropping money on this, because, to the best of my knowledge, "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies is a OHW, and I want to hear you talk about a cartoon band.

Cant wait! One Hit Wonderland and Train Wreckords are my faves!

If you're worried about having a backlog, you can set a limit to how many people can join in at that level.

Stephen Staver

We'll see if the price is right. If so, I'm requesting "Crush" by Jennifer Paige.

Jess Morgan

Yes lets have a Buy Todd a new car tier requests mwahaha

Sarah Wampler

Cool. I may not pledge but if someone can take my request, “Flagpole Sitta” by Harvey Danger?

Let's do this
