Yarr The Pirate! :: View topic - one hit wonders of the 90s

The Toadies - Possum Kingdom

King Missile - Detachable Penis
Butthole Surfers - Pepper
K's Choice - Not An Addict
Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside...
Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I'm feelin' down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

You're the one who makes me happy honey
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing
I want to make you mine

I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees
I'd do anything for you

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I'm feelin' down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

I want you
I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you
I touch myself
Ooh, oooh, oooooh, aaaaaah

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

My favorite 1 hit wonder of the '90s will always be

Divinyls-I touch myself

It has a lameness about it that cannot be ignored. I used that song for the garter toss segment of my wedding lol. :oops:

Matti's soooo sleeping alone tonight. And don't come home and try to kiss and make up to me. You're stupid.

And you better fix my car tonight or I'm going to punch you in the face.

What about I'm too sexy by right said fred?

Sponge - Molly
Butthole Surfers - Pepper
The Toadies - Possum Kingdom
Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside...
Save Ferris - Come on Eileen
Wallflowers - One Headlight

102.7 and 103.1 and sometimes 103.9 would play those on my way to and from college back in 1999-2003

now they just play new crappy music :P

Ike, if you're ever in Fort Worth, TX, I'll let you take me to Panera or something.

I wouldnt really consider The Verve a one hit wonder. Theres a few other good songs by them and Richard Ashcroft (I think thats his name) did form his own self titled band who had some OK stuff too. Nothing super popculturish, but good if you liked the Verve stuff. His stuff with DJ Shadow and James Lavelle was really hot too. Thats a good list though lol some classic stuff up there too.

Jimbean wrote: The Toadies - Possum Kingdom I think that's the only one I recognize from your list but I have to say that they are FAR from a one-hit-wonder.. Even on that radio thing they had quite a few popular songs: Possum Kingdom, Backslider, I Come From the Water, Tyler, and Away were all played to death... But then again I didn't even know that people outside of Texas knew anything about The Toadies until one day I was playing Tyler and Mil was singing along. I didn't know these guys were big - They used to play free shows locally just because they were cool like that. lol

i just copied that list off some dude on amazon, i was flipping through looking to buy some new music. There are a lot of bands on the list I wouldn't consider one hit wonders really, but in the sense that they're only well known for those songs, in that someone who didn't grow up in our generation would remember the song and be like oh that's who sings that! but for us who remember the 90s know that toadies and the verve and blind melon and 4 non blondes or w/e actually had a bunch of singles.

Wasn't Blind Melon - No Rain a one hit wonder of the 90's? The singer OD or something so they didn't have another hit.
