One Hit No Wonder

Zoomers, go ahead and take a seat on this one. We're reaching out directly to the boomers this week; the mamas and papas. But not THAT Mamas and Papas. We're digging all the way to the sweaty 60s with The Spiral Starecase and The Ides of March. And yeah, I spelled Starecase correctly.

It's back to the wild west of music this week (aka the 90's) as we dive deep into some of the most notable, influential, timeless hip hop of the age. We're talking, of course, about Kriss Kross (Jump) and Digital Underground (The Humpty Dance). In honor of the recent passing of Shock G, we thought it would be fair to make his music compete in our stupid contest. Hey! You! Go give us some love on the Apple Podcasts review thingy. Sure would mean a lot to us.

We go all TENET on you this week with the END of the episode at the BEGINNING of the episode!! Or maybe not I don't know, I didn't see the movie. Anyway, we go into semi-researched detail on 4 Non Blondes (What's Up) and Deep Blue Something (Breakfast at Tiffany's) to determine whether 4 Non Blondes is a better video game than Halo 3.

Hello? Who's there? Papa...is that you? It's been so long. The light burns my delicate eyes. Hooo man we're dusting off the vocal chords this week after a TWO MONTH hiatus. I'd like to issue an official apology for ghosting all our loyal fan. We still love you buddy. Thanks for hanging in there. This week we're talking about Estelle (American Boy) and Amerie (1 Thing). We also shed light on one of the greatest American songs about snack foods and how the Chug Jug kids is def the next Beeber Boi.

Go sports team! Congrats on being the best one of those. Hey guys, we're doing something a bit different this week, if you couldn't tell by the length. But we really had fun making it, and we hope you do too! Let us know what you think. We'd like to do more stuff like this in the future.

No, no I'm not. But that's okay. I can dance those bad feelings away with this week's tunes! We're talking Los Del Rio and Right Said Fred. Hey go leave a review on the Apples Podcasts!

Shout out to Marvel and the low-budget indie flick Guardians of the Galaxy. You probably haven't heard of it, but you should check it out. Some good music in there! This week we're talking about two of those music with The Five Stairsteps and Looking Glass. Oh, and our favorite resident juggalos return with a hot new track.

I'm torn on what to call this episode...because there are so many good SM quotes. Are there more legitimate reasons to like Macy Gray other than her brief appearance in the 2001 film Spider-Man? Probably, but that's why we love her, and it's good enough for us. This week we're heading back to the late 90s to take on Macy Gray and Natalie Imbruglia!

It's a whole new year, and so far, it's uh, moderately better than last year...I guess? But maybe this will turn it all around. We're back and bigger than ever in our first episode of 2021, and baby it's a doozy. So buckle up and strap in and follow all the road safety rules! We're getting creepy with Yellowcard and Metro Station! Oh and we also talk about Juice WRLD.

Post-holiday blues? Don't worry, we're here to lift up those spirits with a new episode! Nolan's out this week, but we have a super special guest host. Grab your Grey's Anatomy season 4 DVDs because this week we're talking Augustana and Snow Patrol!

Oh by gosh by golly. We're back for more merry and cheer in a special mid-week episode. And if you're a excited as I am about it, you're not excited. This is the first episode of what I'm calling Who Did It Better? Sort of like, who wore it better, except not as judgmental or dumb. We've also got a fun Christmas song game planned for later in the episode! Stick around.

This week we uncover what it truly means to be a cool kid in high school. So all you teens out there, take note. The secrets are revealed! We're putting up Gnarls Barkley and Flobots. Do you have an idea for the show? Let us know at onehitnowonderpod@gmail.com. Also give us a few stars on that there Apple podcasts thingamajig.

This one's getting down n' dirty guys. Make sure you put the kids away. Let's just say there's a lot of rockin' down to certain avenues, whipping it, and Juggalo music. We're checking out Eddy Grant and DEVO this week! Listen to our friends The Lyrics Boys wherever you get your podcasts! @thelyricboys We also did stuff on Adam and Andy (see, dirty). Listen to their show! @adamalsoandy

Well the jingle bells are jinglin', the campfires a roastin', and somewhere our dear friend Scott Stapp is adrenalizing for the holiday season. We're switching things up a bit this week with a bracket-style elimination tournament of our favorite Christmas songs to determine which one reigns supreme among the rest. Do you agree with our picks? Disagree? Do you have a BETTER holiday favorite you think we should know about? Let us know @onehitnowonder or onehitnowonderpod@gmail.com!

We got those big boy bellies thanks to Turkey Day, but that won't stop us from bringing Grade A entertainment to the masses! This week, we're heading on down to the late 90s to talk about Harvey Danger and Tal Bachman. Check out our friends at Lady History on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts! They actually do research (unlike us professionals) on really cool women throughout history and bring you their stories. @ladyhistorypod

This is the one with the Banana song. Also Nolan's brother David joins us for a talk on Deee-Lite and C & C Music Factory. Hey maybe you can help us out; what are those clicky clams really called?

We're back, and better than ever! This one is groovy. We got the juices flowin', we got the beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes. Come hang out with us as we go back to a classic segment: Craig's Picks. We also talk about The Surfaris and The Capitols. Do you think it's possible to do the cool jerk while surfing? Only one way to find out! To the beach! Shirley Caesar: You Name It!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CvzLHkxbUw&ab_channel=TalentRecap

Well, we sure have egg on our face this week. We talked about the greatest song of all time...and we had no idea it wasn't even a hit...or by The Sugarhill Gang. There's a very clear winner this week in Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight", but because the network wants their ratings, we also had to talk about Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music" and some other bad song. Just go ahead and drop us a review on that there fruit device you got and we'll give ya a fancy shout out on the show! Hooooo'wee wouldn't that be sumthin?! Oh and check out our friends over at Adam and Andy! But for heaven's sake, DO NOT listen to the show about Adam Driver and Andy Samberg. Or do...it's probably pretty good too. https://open.spotify.com/show/0wWImCkh76lpYmGdmXzrQZ?si=MOK25eBxRZCq-Tt0W6ccng

Sadly I can't take credit for this week's episode title. My wife came up with that one. But I think it's the best one yet. This week we're gettin down n' dirty with T. Rex and Free. Can't get enough of that crunchy guitar? Well good news, literally every song from 1970 has that same sound, so you're in luck! Help us out will ya? Leave a review on Apple Podcasts and follow us on the Spot. That's the Spotify. I call it the Spot cause that's what the kids say now...right?

Woah woah woah, this podcast comes out on Monday! Not FRIDAY! What's going on here? Well we're feeling spooky and special and wanted to surprise you guys with jelly eyes and ghouls and flies. Please enjoy our first (and probably only) Halloween special and extreme in-depth analysis of Monster Mash; a song that defined a generation...maybe...probably not. We'll have a regular episode up for you on Monday as well. . . . . . . . . . . . BOO! Did we get ya?

Well hey! This is the one with Matt's wife Courtney on it! For our first in-person guest, I brought on the other person who occupies my house! She's pretty cool, and has an absurd amount of knowledge on 90's pop music, which is great because this week we're takin' it to the streets Aqua and Sixpence None the Richer! Plus we go into how a real gamer plays Crash Bandicoot and why it's not super important to contribute something to be in a band. Leave those reviews! I see you...Jim. Let's go man.

I think we finally have this podcasting thing down! In fact, if this isn't the single greatest episode of a podcast you've EVER heard, I'll give you my house. And my land. And the oldest of my seven daughters. And one goat. But don't you even dare ask for two. This week we're talking two THICC BOIS as we put up Patrick Swayze (yeah that one) and Bruce Willis (also yeah that one).

Well I'll be darned! It's our old friend the podcast listener! How the heck are ya? We shure are glad you could join us on this very special first ever GUEST episode! This week, we talk to accordionist Miles Hoyle about his impact on the Virginia Beach music scene and discuss two 90's staples, Crazy Town and LEN. Did those words make any sense?

It's Semisonic vs Chumbawamba! Tubular new segment - 14:00 Feature - 37:50

Plug in your routers folks, cause we're going all digital this week. Now, you could argue that neither of these artists is a certified "one hit wonder," but, aren't there other things you could do, like, clean the bathroom or something? Also, PLEASE share the show!
