Get the when mug.N00b slang for the alt attribute of the HTML img tag. Usage indicates a probability that the person speaking doesn't know the difference between a tag and an attribute.
When people get persnickety with me, saying that my NiDEs don't have Alt tags, I get persnickety back at them, and tell them there's no such thing as an Alt tag, and that I'm not an SEO spammer, so I don't put alt attributes in NiDEs.

Get the Alt tag mug.A band or singer that everyone forgets about after their hit song runs its natural course into obscurity, because they can never get back onto the charts again. Most one-hit-wonders are that way because either they can't write their own songs, or their own songs are crap.
Crossover songs and artists are sometimes mistaken for One-Hit-Wonders, because listeners outside their genre don't know who they are. Anyone unfortunate enough to make this mistake is likely to be taken to task by numerous members of the artist's following, because it takes quite a good artist to pull off a crossover hit.

Your own songs just aren't going to cut it. Go find a hit song that no one else has covered in at least 20 years, so the teen audience will think it's new, and maybe you can be a One-hit-wonder.
