one-hit wonders

Post by tattuchu » Mon Sep 12, 2011 11:51 am

What ever happened to ________ ?

I'll start:

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Disagree with this one, Golden Earring has had a massive amount of hits, just not as international as "Radar Love".

I remember these guys, I think they had only one hit.
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.

That was the first song I heard on the radio as I was leaving boot camp in 1969. :dejavu: :dejavu:

One-hit wonders? Where to start ...
