In regards to The Outfield - Your Love... does anyone else think that song benefitted big time from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City?

I'm not sure I'd ever even heard it before that, and it seemed like it was everywhere afterwards.
No.

You are just young.

I'm not saying that's what made it a hit. I know it was a big hit when it came out... But I think it became massively popular with my generation because of Vice City. That song is a staple now at college bars and karaoke's.

Similar to ****ing Don't Stop Believin when Laguna Beach used it.

I just have the one account. I still think they are a one hit wonder but there are like 4 of you who like their songs on this board so I guess they dont qualify(not a shot, just saying if 4 on here know it then they must have been decently successful songs)

I thought this thread was originally naming GOOD one hit wonders, not name every one hit wonder ever which is a boring topic

What part of Billboard top 40 do you not understand? Two top 40 songs means not a one hit wonder. It's not complicated.

Didn't watch that, but this was always my favorite song by them.

It was an anthem for us before Vice City came out, but selectively due to one girl who made sure it played at every party as hs freshmen.

Funny how those songs come in and out of the mainstream

Funny you mention that. Thanks to an older brother already at A&M and having gone to some parties in HS seeing LC Rocks, we were jamming that before it blew back up due to LB, but I remember that episode distinctly. It was the moment girls stopped telling me to turn off that dumb song, and started requesting to play it themselves.

dont drop believing had a resurgence with sopranos as well.

The biggest resurgence of a song due to pop culture is bohemian rhapsody with Wayne's world. It actually hit #1 again, decades later. I think only song to ever do so.

the LB resurgence of Don't Stop Believing and it's run through the last decade has made it to where I skip right past it every time I'm listening to Journey. Oh well. Fun song, but i'm worn out.

FWIW, I was watching one of those one hit wonder countdowns on MTV back in the day and they said it takes two top 10 hits to not count as a one hit wonder.

I'm not sure if I should:

A) Feel sorry for you... B) Be crazy jealous of your ears... C) Just offer you no love.

Well the answer is D (D), all of the above.

I feel like Eve 6 has to have been a better band than just the one song Inside Out. I couldn't name another by the though.

Open road song. Intro to "Can't Hardly Wait." I think that was the movie.

this thread kicks ass.

so, I spent the better part of the 90s in the radio business and every now and then something would come across my desk and I'd listen to it and push for it to get airplay and I must say I picked more hits than misses, but this is one that I thought would have fared a lot better than it did.
