Man, I would pay some loot to see Tony Terry, Shirley Murdock or even Rick Ashton (Ashley) - A Strong Man (to ever let you go). There’s a couple of others that I can’t think of right now.

Can I tell you how young this post makes me feel? Most of these acts I’ve never heard of, and the ones I do know I remember from watching fuzzy videos on The Box in my friend Niecey’s bedroom. Man, “Put ‘em on the Glass” was the closest thing to soft porn allowed on network television back in the day. Youth doesn’t mean I don’t have my own list of one-hitta-quittas. Failure knows no generational bounds:Davina: This chick mighta made it if she’d just held on long enough to catch the NeoSoul wave.Lucy Pearl: So much star power. Who knew they’d only make it one album into the game? (And this doesn’t count the reformation of the group with Joi…if you can name a single they put out since said reformation anyway.) Sisqo: Name one song off that album besides the Thong Song without looking it up, I dare you.New Birth: The only old schoolers on the list. They did have enough heat to put out a “Best of” album, but I would honestly pay to see this group perform the entire extended version of “Wildflower” live.

hold up.. Flock of Seagulls got records??? Say bruh…I just said I remember that one song…it’s not like I’m gonna be rapin’ Morpheus or whatever the kids use for MP3s of the flock…

what’s next..i’m going to be listening to Kraftwerk’s “Trans-Europe Express?” Oh yeah..I do every time I hear Planet Rock.

only reason I mentioned the Flock was because of the commercial for GTA: Vice City and the VH1 I love the 80s reference to that song and the Walter Payton ‘Roos commercial…

Bruh..you right..SWASS was a pretty good album. I knew I was listenin to that every time I got home from school back in the gap.

I’d rather play with gasoline near a trash fire than to give my hard earned money to the White Tee boys…I wouldn’t pay to see them if my life depended on it…it’s that real, son.

(DISCLAIMER: Act’s on the one-hit wonder list have not really done anything to get into the Concert in Hell. Therefore, they will not be around, well maybe Rockwell for that God awful fake British accent).

BTW: Bo, you really think Lenny’s on the clear since he and Victor Conte go wayy back? that would be a trip

Fred, there’s no shame in being a Fan of the Flock. Wait, yes there is.

Some possibilities came to mind once I thought about it a little bit.

Kris Kross
The Baha Men
Right Said Fred
The fruitcakes that came up with The Macarena
Rockwell (I’m amazed that I even know that.)

Awite.. JJ Fad had “Way Out”
Sir Mix-A-Lot had “Posse on Broadway,” “My Hooptie,” and “Put’em on the Glass”
JT Money was a member of the Poison Clan..so he got underground hits
Billy Ocean had “Suddenly” along with “Caribbean Queen”

Here’s some more one-hit wonders
Reebie Jackson-Centipede
MC Brains - Oochie Coochie
Candyman - Knockin Boots
Damian Dane
That dude who made Donkey Butt
The “White Tee” people
Dreamboy- I Promise (I Do Love You)
The Mac Band -Roses Are Red
Melly Mel -Pump Me Up (Nigga shoulda stayed with Flash)
Three Times Dope

that’s all i know, so far…but I think there is more…

I’m tempted as hell to start singing “I run so far away” and go play some GTA, but Bo might track me down and have a discussion with me

Bomani’s note - slow down, pimpin. It was noted that Billy Ocean had more than one hit. And good call on Mix-a-Lot…SWASS isn’t a bad album. But if you’d pay to see the White T boys, you and Strong4U will soon be sitting around listening to A Flock of Seagulls records, cuz the both of you will be banned. I got standards, jack.

Well, technically, Lenny Williams can’t be called a one-hit man ‘cuz he sold a record or two frontin’ Tower of Power. If “‘Cuase I Love You” gets played out, he can flesh out his set w/T.O.P. hits like “What is Hip” or “So Very Hard to Go”. See, there’s three songs.

Bomani’s note - good lookin’ out on that, pimpin Willie. Now, do you think that Lenny’s swole now? Remember, Victor Conte of the BALCO debacle used to play bass for T.O.P. And no, he ain’t got shit on Bootsy.

Can’t think of any one hit wonder I’d pay to see. However I could think of a two hit wonder line up I’d pay top dollar to see. Imagine JT Money (”Shake What Your Mama Gave Ya” “Who Dat”) opening for my foavorite island cronner Billy motherfucking Ocean. I aint talking bout Big Boi neither, the Carribean King himself. Billy, JT step out of my dreams and on to the stage and lets get these hoes on the dance floor.

In reference to those who shall not be named, all I can say is check out Bands Reunited on VH1.

But no way, to hell with the one hit wonders. I can’t think of a single one I can still tolerate. And does anyone see the potential crossover that we’ve got with the Concert in Hell lineup? This could be an entire damn tour…

Eddie Holman - Hey There Lonely Girl
BloodStone - Natural High
Shirley Brown - Woman to Woman
Bobby Caldwell - What You Won’t Do For Love
J. J. Fad - Supersonic
Sir Mix A Lot - Baby Got Back
Tisha Campbell - Push
Snow - Informer
Mokenstef - He’s Mine (remix included)
Skee Lo - I Wish
That guy that sung “Back in the day when I was young I’m not a kid anymore…”
Lord something and Peter Guns - Deja Vu
