Favourite One-Hit-Wonders

New to Tattle Life? Click "Order Thread by Most Liked Posts" button below to get an idea of what the site is about:
Move your Feet by Junior Senior - so cheery
C'est La Vie by Robbie Neville
Don't stop the Music by Yarlborough and People's (hope I spelt the last one right- it's getting late for me!)
I have no idea how much of a hit it was; but Junior Senior also released a song called Rhythm Bandits
 
Pumped Up Kicks - Foster the People. I actually love the band and love all of their other music but somehow whenever I tell people I like Foster the People they only remember the band as the one who made a song about school shooting.

This was a very good one hit wonder especially for a cover version. Heart radio played it at the weekend and I hadn't heard it in ages. Bailey Tzuke should have had a decent career off the back of her vocals on this.

 
LOL my working from home song.. when boss asked who's coming back to the office 😂 you'll never see me againnnnnnnn

They are a criminally underrated band.
 
I don’t know if they had more but I love this song, everything New Order touch is ⚜

Sooooo many good songs on this thread!

As a kid, I loved The Reynolds Girls ‘I’d rather jack’

And a newer one, Daniel Merriweather ‘Red’

This was mentioned earlier in thread, but worth including the video too. Was there ever anything more 80s?

We were probably there at the same time!! I was also busy getting drunk on cider and black in Shell Island.

You need to watch Now 80's. They play those songs all the time. (alas not the Chicken Song though)
