One-Hit Wonders 

One-Hit wonders are those n00bs that think they are turnt-up after one hit of weed for the first time.

*takes one hit of weed for the first time* "Oh my god I'm so HIGH!!!"
"You're a One-hit wonder"
"look at all these One-Hit Wonders pretending they are high"

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

one hit wonder 

Term for a band/group that has one breakthrough hit that people remember after usually years of making underground music. They may try to luanch more chart-friendly songs on the back of their one song that will fail to have any impact. Will fade back into obscurity within a month only appearing for the odd television appearance.

The ultimate one hit wonder were Los del rio who inspired a massively popular dance to go with their catchy song; La macarena!

Los del rio were making music for over 20 years before La macarena became a hit.

A la tuhuelpa legria macarena

Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena

A la tuhuelpa legria macarena Eeeh, macarena

A-Hai!
