Two Hit Wonders:

Smokler on October 15, 2002

A pretty hilarious list from McSweeney’s about the second hit from your favorite One Hit Wonder bands. I’d love to hear your addition to this list, if you’re feeling clever (thanks DT!).

    That’s a great list. I’d also include:
    Can’t You Believe That Somebody’s Watching Me?
    Oh Mickey… You’re Approaching Middle Age
    On Second Thought, Taking Our Clothes Off Would Sure Help Us Have a Good Time
    Son of Macarena

    These are likely only funny to me because I am sleep-deprived, but how about:
    Believe it or not, I’ve Fallen and I Can’t Get Up [theme to the spin-off for Greatest American Hero]
    I Want a Dentist [followup by Bow Wow Wow]
    Tainted Meat [Listeria Remix] [SoftCell]
