I fucking love the Darkness and am glad you liked them too. Friday Night and Girlfriend are favourites.

I think there should be a special "One Album Wonder" episode for some of those situations. There are lots of artists who had 2-3 hits off the same album but never were able to duplicate it. Shouldn't be a regular feature, but would be nice to see. (OK, I admit this is simply based on my desire to see Todd's perspective on FYC)

This was a great episode. I think one just like it, would be ---Cutting Crew – “I Just Died In Your Arms”--- Id easily pay $150 to push that one

If you're going to purchase a request on OHW, please take 30 seconds to wiki the artist or band in question and make sure they really are one-hit wonders? Men At Work had at least 3 hits in North America that I've been able to find. And for the love of god, Rick Astley is NOT a one-hit wonder; he had two hits and the second was almost as popular as the first until the Rick Roll was invented.

In the UK we still hear 'Christmas Time' played a lot at, well, Christmas time.

Timbuk 3 ("The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades") would've been my choice had these been auctioned. Hopefully, some people remember to give you actual one-hit wonders (C&C Music Factory? Men at Work? NO!!!)

AWESOME!!!!! I wasn't expecting to be first.

Please Do a One-Hit Wonderland on "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" by C&C Music Factory!!!!

Vastly entertaining summary of a band I wasn't familiar with (I think I'd seen the video of 'I Believe In a thing Called Love'once before this. This is why I love One Hit Wonderland, sometimes you stir up fond memories and other times you give me new ones. I look forward to the day when an episode of One Hit Wonderland is about the year I was 19 (and I hope it's Pop Muzik by M).

Yep. Definite Spinal Tap feel to these boys.

I had to hard-refresh but that did the trick!

Not me, 3 minutes in and the audio is fixed now. A browser cache refresh may be required for those of us still having issues.

Nope, sorry Todd. Still having weird audio issues.
2016-05-30 04:36:53 +0000 UTC
Audio still borked Todd. Watching The Darkness silently mime is pretty funny though...

I didn't check out the first one so I'm not sure what the original issue was, but this one doesn't seem to have any of the music besides your piano rendition.
