Vanilla Ice -- Ice Ice Baby
Who ever did mombo number 5
Staggaly FT MVP - Rock ya body
And Lmfao, Tipsy!
Daniel Beddingfield had two pretty successful songs. Got to get through this and If you're not the one... I guess he counts... Yeah
mombo number five was loui armstrong wasn't it?
mambo number five was lou vega, and the sample, and i can't believe i know this, was from a peress prado album track.
hmm, I know there's just more. way more, but can't think of them.
Eliott Yamin, that song I think it was called waiting for you.
And whoever did that song that goes, "come caress my body, you got me going crazy, turn me on." oh wait about fifty percent of top 40 pop hip hop rap crap says something like that somewhere lol. I know the song was called turn me on.
the one that says
handy andy
kiss me kiss me
handy andy
kiss and caress me
i swear it does say handy andy, whoever he is
kevin someone i think
Hahahaha yes yes! Kevin little!
why would you sing a song about wanting handy andy to kiss and caress you? they'll release anything these days
Well, I'm assuming you haven't heard any esha? Case in point!

Sorry, I must have double clicked on that last one.
Yeah, Kevin Little, wow. special. lol
I think in that Kevin Little song he says Hug me hug me n handy Andy. Cassie actually had two hits, although 'Long Way to Go' wasn't quite as successful than 'Me and You'.
Sorry, I mistyped in the last post. I meant to say:

Lip Gloss--Lil Mama
Ma lip gloss is poppin'!
that drives me insane.
the penguins had another couple of hits, i loooove doo wop.
when i remember what they were i'll tell you
i hate that hollywood argiles song though, and the other side to it was crap too, ah the pains of being a doo wop fan :p
Who Let the Dogs Out--the Ba Ha Men
I can't believe the greatest one hit wonder of all time wasn't mentioned yet, I can't spell it, but the macoraina. I mean, come on, anyone who lived in the nineties heard that song, I bet no one knows who even recorded it, and they were never heard from again. They're probably still collecting royalty checks.
you know what? he's rite, i don't even know who sings that bloody song
chumber wumber were one of my favourite folk bands before they went all poppy with that tub thumping song that went i get knocked down, but i get up again etc, used to see them as a kid just perform in leads at free events etc then they had that hit, went poppy, went on top of the pops and shit and went back to folky weird stuff as if nothing had ever happened, real strange lot of people, too.
What about right said Fred? I'm to sexy?
Also Willa ford - I wanna be bad
Tweat - Oups
Eyaz - Replay
Oh yeah who can forget oops... great song with a good beat
How about Gnarls Barkley and crazy?
I thought that was a great song; its too bad they didn't have anymore songs after that.
Oddly enough I loved Crazy, and I don't usually like that sort of music.
they had an album which was great, gnarls barkly, i have that at home someware.
Rite said fred had another couple of hits here including don't talk just kiss, which was beyond dreadful.
incidentally rite said fred's name came from a song of the same name by burnard cribins, which my granddad used to have on a 45 and i loved.
Aah, more?
back that ass up by juvenial
Or, however the hell you spell that.
lil john- from the window to the wall
what hurts the most- rascal flatts
never gonna give you up- Rick Gastley.
blaque-bring it all to me
stained-it's been a while
45, wow and the 33 and a third
that's way back when
Back
back in the jungle
that song
The Lion sleeps tonight
That other song
back in the
forgets
Staind, Lil John and Rascal Flatts had way more than one song each.
Cee Lo Green - Fuck You?
the lion sleeps tonight was by a doo wop group called the toacans, i don't like that song but they did some really nice slower more ballad type stuff.
i love doowop lol
Lmao, Iyana that's true.
But then again, they had some songs that stuck out more than others. and vice versa
Fuck you?
Sounds like he shouldn't have fucked her in the first place if it was that shitty a relationship.
You should look it up, it's stupid but amusing in that it is so idiotic.
Lol yeah, I've heard it. :p
It's a great song. Cee-Lo has had more than just that one hit, though. Juvenile has also had at least one more hit, Slow Motion for Me or something like that.
ugh that slow motion for me song always bored me senseless.
cool.. songs...
8675309!
And yeah definitely slow motion.
Does anyone remember that song "he Loves You Not", by Dream? I actually liked them, but they're fifteen minutes is up, I guess. haha.
Omg! I loved the Macarina when I was a little kid.
Yep, I also loved that song "I Get Knocked down", or whatever it was called, although probably because it's just really nostalgic for me.
who actually did "the Hamster Dance"? I'd love to know, for real. Is that a one hit wonder?
FYI: Cee Lo Green is one half of Gnarls Barkley. just thought I'd clear that up.
Oh yes, that song by Dream was pretty good.
Wow, I can't believe I forgot to mention Gnarls Barkley in my post about Cee Lo Green.
This Is Why I'm Hot by Mims
Omg mims..
Dream had another single out, it was called This is Me.
I have their CD somewhere
Oh yeah, that song was good too.
