One Hit Wonders Draft

AN EGG are drafting everything's that one and done but who picked the mightiest picks. Some of these guys went a little outside the box but maybe they're still one hits themselves. Don't forget to vote for who has the best list and who maybe has the best bits? Thanks for granting us a career, Gavin.

One Hit Wonders Draft

Comments

I want to hear Eric's playlist

Pride

"It's a good thing I'm going first because I don't think any of you would've picked this." What?

Pride

Couldn’t stop laughing at the whole Eric’s playlist conversation. But Nick wins this one for me, but Eric has a few bangers too. And I liked the bits this time really mixed things up

Keefin Bickmore

Gavin drafting “the DeLorean” instead of the DMC-12 (the name of the car model) proves it’s a one-hit wonder. Also, Roughned Odor robbed.

AJ T

David Gilmore had plenty of hits with Pink Floyd

Rob Prittie

Tell me this is the whitest podcast without telling me it's the whitest podcast: Eric puts on Too Close and everyone has no idea what's going on.

Evan

Sprung filmed that on 3rd Ave in chula vista

Rudee Amaral

Geoff has some REALLLL strong opinions on Tubthumping for a guy who wanted to name a dump truck business Tub-Dumpers

Preston Collins

Oh how the turns have tabled

Psilocvbin

Geoff is such a whiny cry baby in this one; the same guy who forces us to listen to his piss, burps and farts can't put up with the Proclaimers or Blue for 2 seconds. Man the fuck up, if you can't take it don't deal it out.

taukid

Who let the dog’s out is actually women calling men dogs for catcalling. Read the lyrics!!

Lucas Mattson

Bound to the Floor and No Rain are still in my normal rotation haha. Got them on multiple playlists 👍

vibin_psilocybin

My one hit wonders (all songs) In the street - Big Star Bound to the Floor - Local H No Rain - Blind Melon You’re Going Down - Sick Puppies

Psilocvbin

What are there best tracks. I’ve never heard someone even mention them out of the context of Blue

Psilocvbin

Back off, I’ll take you on

Psilocvbin

As someone who is significantly younger than everyone but Andrew, it is wild how little I know these songs (minus Andrew).

Vanth

Mambo No. 5 is a banger, but have you heard Mambo Number Honk? Genius. (Also I’m saying it now - whoever picks Thong Song has my vote.)

Mara Copland

Eric saying 2/3rds of 'Trapped' made me think of another one hit wonder- "Headstrong" by Trapt ! HUGE song when I was a kid, loved it, made me feel like I was a badass and could defend myself in a time when I needed that.

vibin_psilocybin

Also Brick House and Black Bette to round out my list.

Boogurt

I think most of these bands should be no hit wonders.

Boogurt

I'd pick That Thing You Do because The Wonders is a perfect fictional representation of one hit wonders. Also, Baby Come Back by Player. Their whole first album is fantastic but nothing else broke out.

Boogurt

Bars famously closing at 1:55 PM lol can't believe none of the guys caught Eric saying that

TimShaw19284163519

I'm only 10 minutes in and this is already the funniest draft😂

Cole

Eric was right about the "playstation song" being called My Console, but Eiffel 65 had other good songs from that album and their next one

Andrey Chichagov

I only know Next's wifey song. Sorry Eric disqualified

Andrey Chichagov

As an Eiffel 65 fan, I have to say it is an absolute TRAGEDY that Blue is the only song that gained traction. One of their overall worst tracks.

Dave Franco

Idk if you meant to put two e’s in “the” for emphasis but that’s how I read it

Adam Chwalik

I didn’t like the covid pick bc wasn’t it literally called Sars-Cov-2? As in it was the second big sars virus? Making it by all definitions the second hit

Adam Chwalik

he absolutely had more hits, sorry. "Together Forever" reached number 2 in the UK. if this was a viral video draft, which they should do, never gonna give you up is my number 1, with a bullet even.

Behemoths Untold

i need nick to know that i’m blue da ba dee came back last year and he missed it. huge remix. lotta radio play

connor

I feel like nobody putting “Never gonna give you up” by Rick Astley is nuts

Nicholas Zook Brimer

Would love a sausage talk type episode where we hear the draft arguments lol

Joe Cap

I had The Titanic (hit one iceburg) , The mens english football team (1 world cup nothing since)

Stephen Milne

Not only is Eric’s pick of “Too Close” a song about boners, but his other pick, Semisonic, have a song about masturbation and how it’s good and healthy actually. It’s called “Get a Grip.”

Kino Hiroshino

Violin!? he can't keep getting away with it! Hahahaha thank you Andrew

Murk

I thought they were gonna reference the old vine meme lol

Swank Siinatra

Regulation Algorithm comment! Thanks for all the hard work on these videos/podcasts/streams lads!

Joakim XwIIcK Lundberg

Someday, Fly, When it's over, the Surf's Up song. Sugar Ray is a hit machine

Tang

Great one hit wonder for the USA! He has other bangers that were hits in Korea, i recommend "DADDY" and "That That" :D

Soots

As a black man, I dont know bout "Too Close" being Next's only hit cause "Wifey" goes crazy round the ladies.

SodaOnly

I love SIgns.

Special Agent Fox Mulder

I don't know if this has been mentioned before or will ever even be read, but the Fiji Water company is owned by The Wonderful Company (of pistachio and pomegranate fame) who are owned by the Resnick family. The Wonderful Company and the Resnick family are among the most evil, vile corporations and people in the world. Please don't drink Fiji water or buy stuff from The Wonderful Company.

Scott Bird

Signs is the best M.Night

klok

Tubthumping was my first CD. I got it as a gift and I didn't even have a player yet so my parents had to go out and get me a portable CD player.

The Silent Taco

Shadow Complex was great, I haven’t thought of that in years. I beat it a couple of times then completely forgot about it until now.

JP

Sugar ray - every morning

ThrowBricksAtKids

Black Velvet by Alannah Myles. Makes you feel things.

NotReallyRichard

Andrew won this, which is shocking to me because I almost never like his picks. Gavin/Eric/Nick were all pretty close, some strong picks all around but a bit niche, and Geoff's was so bad it should be edited out. Spectacular failure, especially the Covid pick.

ViciousWarGoose

Charitably I think it was meant to be commentary on how it is still dangerous and out there but everyone ignores it now, but it really didn't work as a joke.

ViciousWarGoose

I'll never go to Coachella, but I'll absolutely throw money towards tickets for Moment in the Sun Fest

BernNotice

As UK dweller myself I’m gonna have to disagree, gun to my head if I was asked to name three of their songs I’d be one dead ass guy.

Cullain Herring

IMO Geoff salad creamed this one

seanpwns

Somebody That I Use To Know going undrafted hurts. That's thee one hit wonder imo

Pablo

Man, Shadow Complex takes me back. I got my copy because I entered a Skate 2 custom graphic competition for AH and won… What a memory!

Alex Caza

love how eric was like “this part right here” and geoff just starts talking over it lmao

Tit

Psy Gangnam Style

Zach Giguere

16:25 *AGGRESSIVELY SLIPS INTO MONKEY MASK*

Chaz Surfboard

As a Scotsman, I side with Geoff. I hate the fucking Proclaimers. Its just a drunk meme song

WeeStev0

Eric ends up winning because everyone else's list has one thing i hate. Least offensive list.

Robert Gibbens

Gonna predict right now Cain isn't on the list. But man should he be.

Scott Jones

I hate that i like erics list the most

Mo0KiE

Geoff made some great arguments for including Covid 19 but as the new variant is cutting up my throat with tiny razor blades I will have to disagree with him

Daniel Miller

Head Automatica - Beating Hearts Baby, Daniel Lioneye - King of Rock and Roll, Kingdoms of Amalur and Bomfunk Mcs - Freestyler

KVLT

Nick is the only one with a full solid list. None of the bit answers really landed for me. Andrew was in the running but calling Geoff's mom a one hit wonder felt more derogatory than complimentary to me.

EssKayAye

Eric wins with ‘You Get What You Give’ alone, one of my favorite one hit wonders of all time

Jenn Amory

Oh I love that song! I have a list of related songs (in the French House area), some might be considered one hit wonders (or at max 2 hit wonders) * Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight) / Chillin' * Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You * Sophie Ellis-Bextor with Spiller - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love) * Alcazar - Crying At The Discoteque * Moloko - Sing It Back (Boris Dlugosch Mix) / The Time Is Now * Basement Jaxx - Red Alert * Cassius - The Sound Of Violence * Phats & Small - Turn Around * Madison Avenue - Don't Call Me Baby

Guy

Proclaimers weren't actually one hit wonders in the UK because of songs like Sunshine on Leith and Letter from America. I reckon Nick is disqualified

Eoin

I picked up Quiet Riot's greatest hits album in a bargain bin in maybe 2001, and had never heard a single song besides Cum On Feel The Noise. Granted I was born in 1986 but grew up listening to 80's music so my friends and I had a good laugh listening to that album.

Zachary

I was so shocked when the first round passed without that song being picked, then the next, then the next. It's the first song I think of when I hear "one hit wonder"

Zack Smith

A high school English teacher just randomly dropped the most random lore that "I just died in your arms tonight" is about suffering a "little death" or "La petite mort". This is the sensation experienced post orgasm that feels like death. Was an interesting topic to bring up to a class of 14 year olds.

CakeMixer

My first thought was Francis Scott Key with the Star Spangled Banner

Matt Bulley

Fun Eiffel 65 fact. A former member, Gabry Ponte, performed San Marino’s entry in Eurovision this year. San Marino got dead last in the finals.

Robbie

Surely Gavin is the Floor Lord with how his legs can kidnap him.

Packie Shepard

❤️

EnragedPanda6

I'm only a couple years younger than Eric and also from San Diego and I've never heard of Sprung Monkey at all

James Dillard

Love every time Ben Folds Five is brought up, favorite band of all time!

Folds2008

Geoff wins for his 2nd and 3rd picks lmao

Treevcore

I low key love that whole album.

Vinnie B

I'd be so in for like a quick 20-30 supplemental of them calling out patreon commenters and arguing about it. And it might be a good reason for people to sign up so they might be the ones getting called out

Vinnie B

Puddle of mudd had Blurry though which was big.

Matt Schwarz

Andrew wins for his last pick, solid list and then right to the heart :)

Lori Lindo

If you look up Shadow Complex on the Xbox store you will see that they Remastered it back in 2016. If you didn't see Signs in a drive-in theater you didn't watch it correctly. It makes it so scary.

LawlessReaper

I wish they would talk about the results of the draft in the podcast sometime. I'd like to hear their arguments

WaspWatcher

Andrew for the win.

comment leaver.

Geoff picking covid is pretty fucked up considering how many listeners were heavily affected by it

numbr87

I really expected to see someone ty to draft F**KFACE, but alas. My winner was Gavin.

AArthriticGamer

Nope. A one hit wonder is a band or artist who released a lot of music, but only ever had one hit song.

Joshua Neditch

To be fair, Falco has more than one hit with Rock Me Amadeus, so I guess it wouldn't count as a one hit wonder

backscatter

Andrew: Wins, solid list. Eric & Nick: Would have won if their #1 pick was their #4 pick. Gavin: Solid 2nd place, great list. Geoff: "I'll catch you guys next time."

Hayden M Boudreaux

Nick not drafting the Falco version of Der Kommissar pains me 😥

backscatter

Patty & Mildred J. Hill - "Happy Birthday to You"

IckeyShuffle

Mena Suvari was 1000% in American Pie, Geoff come on

Folds2008

This draft showed me Eric is the only “cultured” individual in the group

lordDerz

Geoff wins off of his first 2 picks alone

Jeremy Peterson

Mena Suvari was definitely in American pie. I’m gonna do the thing!……Gavin was RIGHT! 😂

Russell Richardson

Something I learned about Mambo No. 5, it was a number one hit in the UK twice. Once by itself, the second as a construction themed parody by Bob the Builder, one of three #1 hits that guy has, the other two being his theme song and a medley that features a bunch of other cartoon characters including Thomas the Tank Engine, Ben 10, and Scooby-Doo. The Bob the Builder version of Mambo No. 5 hit #1 on the Official Charts in early-mid September 2001, and you can probably guess why it was taken off the radio shortly after.

JoeyDaPal

I mean Sarz was a big thing in the 2000's and covid 19 was technically the sequel

The_RyBar

Geoff's COVID pick is maybe the worst draft pick to date

Spencer Coffman

Wheatus is such a good band. all their albums are great.

Robert Trimble

A toss up between Andrew and Nick UNTIL Andrew's last pick

Corey Smith

"So a Canadian guy just decided to bottle Fiji's water and sell it?" British man learns about colonialism for the first time

Callie

My one pick was Blue, so Nick wins by default 😂

Buggy52

The guy who made the DeLorean ended up, making the Pontiac Firebird, which became a very iconic Car, and is still to this day, very beloved, to buy Car enthusiast Pontiac was constantly told to stop making their cars better than Corvette because Corvette was GM top brand and they didn’t want them to be able to compete with them. I think that speaks volumes about how good the Car is really were.

Psilocvbin

I can’t hear Teenage Dirtbag without thinking out “Spider” Nate Webb

I took a WWE Steve Austin Monster Truck toy up my ass Ryan Dunn style for the love of the game

After the pick of COVID, maybe stop with the bits 😂

Joshua Neditch

The Superman Lovers - Starlight would have been on my list .. not that anyone cares

Goostunny

So there's no way Andrew doesn't win right?

Dinkleberg65

Virgil - The Aeneid Oldest One Hit Wonder there is.

ClaytonNotSatan

Geoff and I had the same first song when I searched One Hit Wonders 😂

I took a WWE Steve Austin Monster Truck toy up my ass Ryan Dunn style for the love of the game

I searched one hit wonder on youtube, first result is "Real Boston Richey" . Someone I've never heard of.

Matthew Harrington

in that vein the ‘23 texas rangers. first world series win preceeded and followed by losing seasons.

Summer

I thought the whole meaning of one-hit wonder was the band or person literally made ONE song, not one hit. But fair enough 😂

J Parker

did anyone else notice that Eric said “check out the… regular podcast” at 58:57? Was this in reference to the podcast itself that releases regularly or did he flub on the word “regulation”?

Anthony Trow

Eric should also get 25% of the votes for Nick seeing as how it was his algorithm that helped Nick with one of the picks

Biggsy

This rules In the poll, please put who drafted what it’s easier for everyone

Joe

I’m surprised nobody mentioned take on me.

Yo Mama

Hi guys, I'm new here :) first time I've been able to afford Patreon since the closure

Scar Tissue99

please tell me you're joking

Matt Hartley

I definitely would have had "I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls and "Ice Ice Baby"

Matt Hartley

Blue was on kids WB that’s how I first heard it lol

Panduh

While I know Eric doesn’t care because he’ll say I did it wrong, I definitely got different search results for one hit wonder.

Stove

TIL it’s Chumbawamba and not Chumbawumba

CheapCulture

I mean, one of the most defining features of Jesus is that he has a comeback tour though

CheapCulture

Scotty Doesn’t Know when Matt Damon is the lead singer of the band in Eurotrip

Hunter Martin

To be fair, the only one I’m still singing an hour after listening to this is “blue abu dhabi dubai”, so that has to be a factor based purely on “hit” and “wonder”

windyMelon

No one drafting “Somebody That I Used To Know” feels criminal

cdraughan

I am forever now going to refer to the starspangled banner as "the remix"

J

That Eiffel 65 album was one of the first I ever owned, it's terrible but I love it

dydreemblvr

Regardless of how you feel about Chumbawamba their best song was Mary Mary. Specifically the stigmata mix which was in the movie stigmata.

Godfatherrules

Hero by all insane kids. The Bionicle song. Only made for the ads.

A Cow Pi

The '15-'16 Leicester City FC would've been a great pick. They had 5000/1 odds of winning the Premier, did it, and just a few seasons later, we're relegated to the EFLC.

Evan VanWormer

Next “Too Close” was really big on R&B radio here. I was born in ‘89 and in Florida and know the lyrics to this song.

Trevor Deal

*Terrible* time to take a pause Andrew at 8:00

Arclund Arcivist

Alot of them do around here. Or atleast have last call around 2-2:30

Gam3r009

the Xbox Kinect would have been a good pick as well.

Justin D

Dude i was crying at that lou bega video

BrxIghtside

Omg you guys gotta join the Patreon. This draft was soooo GOOD !

PhsycoRed

Draft day babyyyyy.

steve

This rules

Jacob Hoover

I also immediately did a YouTube search

Tony Long

Chumbawumba was my first CD. I was 7 and assumed all the songs would be as good as Tubthumping. I was incorrect.

Illien

My first thought for one hit wonder wasn't songs, it was just a moment of fame. I havent listened past 2 min, but I hope its not all songs

Martin Ramirez

I laughed so loud at Geoff's second pick! Love the content guys keep it up!

crunchypoos

12:17 If you'd like to see a more representative version of Chumbawamba's (more an anarchist collective than a band) work, search YouTube for "chumbawamba the day the nazi died", "~ bella ciao", or "~ el fusilado".

Gabriel Rosenkoetter

Wait the delorian was an actual car? wild.

Matthew Hughes

Very surprised that one of the best one-hit wonders of all time didn't make the list: A-ha - Take on Me

John C

I'm glad Eric picked You Get What you Give because that is absolutely a U2 song just happens to not be by U2

Shane Wellesley

Better Days-Citizen King, not Sublime like limewire told you.

Howifigure

Gotye - Somebody i used to know was missing for me

Edvard Hjelmstedt

Here is my list Kc & Jojo- All My Life Vanessa Carolton- A Thousand Miles Alien Ant Farm- Smooth Criminal Semisonic- Closing Time

Liquor cause I know her

nick at least mentioned it

DeadColossus

Thank you Andrew. When you produce the best why try again?

Jackie Ramsey

I’m pretty sure the reason shadow complex never got a sequel was because it was a tie in game with the Orson Scott Card book Empire. It came out just as he really started ramping up his war against the LGBTQ community and the book really didn’t shy away from his political beliefs.

RedMageSyndrome

Also. When is the poll going up?

Braxerman

My picks would be Teenage Dirtbag, Stacy's Mom, Absolutely (Story of a Girl) and Walkie Talkie Man

Anthony Caldwell

100% thought geoffs first pick was gonna be Jesus with that lead in

Daniel Brown

Who let the Dogs Out- Baha Men She Hates Me- Puddle of Mudd Butterfly- Crazy Town Tainted Love- Soft Cell

David Vazquez

when Eric said David Gilmour founded Fiji Water my mind was blown. David Gilmour of Pink Floyd founded Fiji Water?? That dude HAD A COUPLE HITS But no it's a different guy

DeadColossus

Certainly in the UK "Letter to America" was a bigger hit than 500 miles for the Proclaimers so I don't think that counts as a One Hit Wonder.

Peter Smith

In 2001, Spring Monkey had the Get a Taste album that has Party Like a Rock Star and What's That You Say. Those songs was all over for me in eastern Missouri.

Kristopher Lindsey

Calling Foul on The Proclaimers, they've had another bloody song in Shrek

Archery Contest

As soon as Gavin dropped Shadow Complex he won for me. Fucking loved that game.

Braxerman

"for a song about fucking a bunch of women simultaneously, including kids........ uh animated programming"

DeadColossus

I can’t believe no one drafted Darude “sandstorm”

Hunter Cook

Eric thinks bars close at 2pm??

Chad Jorgenson

I agree whole-heartedly with Geoff on Tubthumping, that is one of the most over played songs in existence.

Sulfuric Boss

When I worked at a rock station I found out Der Kommissar is a euphemism for cocaine use, so him being in town basically means those lads are fucked up and that spider ain't real

BernNotice

Gavin deserves a promotion after all these idears

Dijon

Searching one hit wonder on my youtube brings up afroman and theres no "der komissar" in sight even after extensive scrolling

Silvester

"Known for fucking a bunch of girls simultaneously and a bunch of kids..........programming"

Nathan Sweatt

I hope Gavin has a higher cut in the company because he's carrying it at this point

Corey Smith

Great idea Gavin

Hunter Cook

I love Gavin’s ideas

Abbie

draft day!!!!!!((:

veronica !

Oh this about to be a banger. Thanks Gavin

Mick 16
