25 Years of Alt “One-Hitters” for National One-Hit Wonder Day

[  : Studio 7042]

September 25th is National One-Hit Wonder Day…so here’s a walk down memory lane with twenty-five years of alternative “one-hitters.”  Presented in video form, listed chronologically over a twenty-five year period…one song selected per year.

As with most lists, I’m sure this one won’t be without controversy (sarcasm)…for instance, a lot of the latter entries are still making music.  So, fight me.   Feel free to jump on Facebook or Twitter to share your thoughts, complaints, and suggestions (and post in music video form, so the entire class can enjoy).  — [eric]
