If you don't have Mojo Nixon... Speaking of that, would the Dead Milkmen be OHWs? Two Hit Wonders probably - we just saw them last year in DC at the 9:30 club and they were awesome!

I love what the lead from a One Hit Wonder band had to say: "How many hits do YOU have?"

Probably in the last generation to do it, I remember waiting with a blank cassette set to record when the local top-40 station would play a novelty song. Back in 1986 you had to work for it, kids. You couldn't just queue something up on the webs.

...and this just popped up elsewhere:

Tobra - both of the above are probably their most popular but they had other hits.

Man---some of you dudes clearly don't get out much if you think some of these folks are "one hit wonders"....

Then let's go weird.

How about some Red Elvises? Weird, and yes I've seen them live a few times....

Or how about some 5678 s from Kill Bill?

I can't find this one but it's a parody of Tennessee Ernie Ford's 16 Tons...........

She weighs 17 tons and what do I get
Another food bill puts me deeper in debt
Don't ask me out bowling cause I can't go
I owe my dough to the grocery store

And another fragment...

My mother-in-law came to live with us now I'm turning blue
My mother-in-law weighs the same thing too.

They weigh 34 tons and what do I get.........
