Friend 2: Ok one hit wonder 🙄

One Hit Wonder

When “One” bomb “Hits” on an enemy country and then you “Wonder” where that city just went.

When the USA hit Tehran (the capital of Iran) for not complying with Nuclear matters… the USA made them a “one hit wonder” instantly.

Gangam style

Gangam style was a one hit wonder for psy. No one knows any of his other songs, only that one.

One hit wonder

When you physically hit your partner one time in an argument and then later on wonder why you didn't hit them more than just once.

Susan woke up a one hit wonder she punched gym last night in an argument and woke up this morning wondering why she didn't hit him more.

One-Hit-Wonder

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.

Some One-Hit-Wonders:

Dean Friedman
Right Said Fred
Gary Numan
Soft Cell
Sammy Johns
The Reflections
The Electric Prunes
The Elegants
Bobby Dray
