Wilbur Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 2. Spirit in the Sky - Norman Greenbaum. 236165[/snapback] Fascinating fact - this song has made number one 3 times by 3 different groups / artistes all of whom are one-hit-wonders - Norman G, Dr & the Medics, and Gareth Gates & The Kumars. Ok. maybe not fascinating, but a fact none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 5. Mary's Prayer - Danny Wilson. 236165[/snapback] Danny Wilson had a few hits (The Second Summer of Love, Never Gonna Be the Same) but were a cracking wee band. 3- Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm 236177[/snapback] They also had a hits with Afternoons & Coffee Spoons and a cover version of XTC's The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead. Incidentally, "one hit wonder" means a song that got to number one and the artist never had another hit single. In this respect, guys, you're both wrong. You can thank me later.

Wilbur Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 That site's a bag of shite..............The wonderful R Dean Taylor had more than 1 hit............. 236476[/snapback] Correct, a big bag of shite. Indiana Wants Me, I Gotta See Jane, etc. I think RDT was the only white artiste on the Tamla Motown label, but the least said about that the better in case we wake Lochwinnoch Saint up about some racial or religious prejudice theme. Mountain are at Number 41 - a group with an enormous catalogue (Leslie West & Corky Laing). Nantucket Sleighride was the theme tune to an ITV Sunday lunchtime show for years back in the 1970s. This site has no credibility at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 The Firm - Star Trekkin Didn't The Firm also have a hit with Arthur Daley (he's all right) ? We could start a 'Two-Hit Wonders' thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
