Ok music fans, it’s time to put up or shut up. She Plays Music is giving away an MP3 player to a lucky member of the She Plays Music community. The winner will get to choose between a FlipSide MP3 Player for BlackBerries or a LobsterTunes MP3 player for Windows Mobile Handhelds.
So what’s the catch, Deb?
As always, you have to sing for your supper around here. To win, post your favorite one hit wonder in the comments. Link to a YouTube or audio stream of the song so we can all hear what it sounds like. Try to be creative with your comments because the winner is going to be the most entertaining commentator this month. It can be either the person who made me laugh the loudest or the one who appears to be having the most fun. Bonus points if you can get the other commenters here to start up a conversation and swap stories. Yes, this is a community building exercise. Are you up for it?
This contest ends April 30th. Have fun!
My name is Michael, I got a nickel…
I remember that from when I was a kid. What a goofy song. I was going to post it but you got to it first. It probably helped that you knew what to call it.

I still love John Denver music. My husband and I saw him in concert a few times and have listened to him growing up and while we dated and he’s still one of our favorites. Placido, eat your heart out.

Haddaway – What is Love
I love it! My hubby loves it too! We also love the movie A Night At The Roxbury. Whenever we play this in the car, we’ll start cocking our heads like Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan in the movie! They’re hilarious!!! The movie is FAB!!
Here’s one with the Roxbury clips

the troglodite was funny. I even called my kids in to watch

Love Monster Mash
The Knack My Sharonna is my favorite.Everytime I hear it reminds me of the acward 8th grade dance I first heard it at and the next day I went out and bought it on vinyl
I loved Soupy Sales singing ‘Do The Mouse’. Mouse-like biting movements required.
I win, I win. Starland Vocal Band – Afternoon Delight. A bunch of ‘up with people’ kids cooing about a sloppy nooner.
Come on – that’s gotta win!
Has to be the best, funniest one hit wonder….Love it!!!!

Vanilla Ice is definitely my favorite. How about Deee-Lite’s “Groove Is In the Heart”?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkIjFA1P2bg
I can remember getting all dressed up in my french rolled jeans and poison tee with my bangs teased up about six inches from my forehead and doing some pretty horrible junior high dancing to those two songs!
nice
can’t believe it hasn’t been said…
I’m too Sexy, by Right Said Fred…lol
Guess he just wasn’t sexy enough…lol

cotton eyed joe is one of my childrens favorite songs
My favorite one hit wonder might have to be Thomas Dolby’s ‘She Blinded Me With Science’… it’s silly but it always makes me laugh!
Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini–My kids find this song hilarious, especially trying to say it faster and faster.
I remember when I used to work on the corner and my pimp would blare this song out for me!

I’d have to say “Can’t Touch This” by Mc Hammer. How many of you tried to do his moves going “ho ho ho ho…”…its Hammer time! and those pants…..those were the best!
test
Rico Suaaaaaave, lol
How about LaTour / People Are Still Having Sex 1991? Definitely a weirder one that I can remember.
Here’s the link: http://www.onehitwondercentral.com/90s.cfm?start=21&sortby=song_year&orderby=ASC
Beaver Brown’s On the Dark Side.
‘Jump’. I mean come on could they have named a song a lamer name than that.. like- jump who, jump what, jump when. They’d have done better naming a song ‘Sit’ … sit on the toidy
“oh Mickey you’re so fine..you’re so fine you blow my mind…Hey Mickey!…Hey Mickey!!!”
Corey Hart’s “Sunglasses at Night” was my favorite song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXw4qqQqTrY
I loved it so much that I really *did* wear my sunglasses at night– until I walked into a telephone pole at full speed and spent the night of my junior homecoming dance in the emergency room.
P.S. If you need proof, I can send pics of my bandaged nose and two black eyes!
P.P.S. I hate that song now!
Chocolate Rain!!!
Love to add to my collection
Hey! I LOVE Corey Hart…and he was not a one hit wonder…Never Surrender and some slightly lesser known ones as well. He was bigger outside the US though, mainly his native Canada. He has 9 cds and a few compilations as well.
