Geggy Tah - Whoever You Are

Tracy Bonham - Mother Mother

Local H - Bound for the Floor

Butthole Surfers - Pepper - Yeah, I know they were together long before, but they've been pretty under the radar in comparison to the insane play that this got.

SO many one-hit wonders in that decade.

[Manmademan]

god i hate this fucking song

I remember this song getting tons of airplay, but by the time the band had actually gotten around to touring, their concerts were canceled due to "lack of interest".

[RangersFan]

In the Blood was the better song by them

you're right that one slipped my mind, it's funny I honestly never knew this was a Better Than Ezra song.

Internet ftw, it's funny last time most of us were listening to all these songs if we didn't own the CD's we'd be waiting for MTV or the radio to loop them around again, now they are instant.

[Blackheim]

Oh, Mutha's Day Out had a song used on the Mortal Kombat Soundtrack and was fairly popular I think?

Mutha's Day Out - What U See/We All Bleed Red

[kittens]

That was the top song of 1998? man, the late 90s were pure shit. I like to pretend the 90s just stopped at 1996 or so

WTF, no way, that song is awesome.

[Xeke]

Oh, and "Flagpole Sitta". You still hear that song on the radio. Along with "My Own Worst Enemy", although Lit did have other songs. And "Flavor of the Week". It's like I'm watching American Pie.

It's friday night and she's all alone, he's got her best friend on the phone.

I listening to that song like crazy haha.

[Smiles and Cries]

baby got back - sir mix a lot. and hypnotic by biggy was imo the only good song by him.

hypnotic? wtf smh

[Tragicomedy]

Urban Hymns is probably one of the best albums of the 90´s.

This man knows.

[Dishwalla]

And whoever did that cover of New Order's "Blue Monday". Although that might have been the early 2000s, can't remember.

[Azzurri]

All these mid-late 90's song remind me of Middle school dances.

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

god i hate this fucking song

You've probably never had double cherry pie

[Seraphis Cain]

Okay, so who remembers this little gem of the 90's?

[explodet]

You know what got a ton of airplay around me until I got sick of it?
This fucking song:

White Town - Your Woman

[Manmademan]

Nada Surf- Popular

[Corto]

The Cardigans - Love Fool

[Dishwalla]

Okay, so who remembers this little gem of the 90's?

I can't hear that song without hearing Lola Bunny yell "Nice butt!"

[carpediemdp]

I know they had other big songs, but I'm gonna post this anyways cause the song is amazing: Naked Eye by Luscious Jackson

Naked Eye is more than amazing. Love it.

Ha! Just remembered another awesome 90's one hit wonder. Mother Mother

Don´t know if she had other hits in the US, but she certainly hade none other but this one here in Colombia

[jiji]

Blue Boy - Remember Me

Snow - Informer

[Manmademan]

WTF, no way, that song is awesome.

Not my thing. Song is horrible. but whatever you think, you can't argue there's a HUGE division in music right around 1995/1996 or so when alternative died, ska got big, then boy bands and pop crap took over.

[Curtisaur]

What about Torn by Natalie Imbruglia? I remember it being number one on Casey Kasem's Top 40 for... ever. But I can't really remember what else she may have had. Same thing with Criminal by Fiona Apple.

[blame space]

tag team back again

[explodet]

And whoever did that cover of New Order's "Blue Monday". Although that might have been the early 2000s, can't remember.

Orgy, in '98.

Blue Monday is like one of those songs that everybody covers unofficially for some reason. It's like a rite of passage.

[Jasconius]

Lots of good songs in this thread (and some bad ones...)

I had forgotten about Stars, I always liked that song.

Here's a couple more:

Butthole Surfers - Pepper
Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand

[Tragicomedy]

The sad thing about the Nada Surf mention is that the band went on to release several excellent albums. Let Go in particular is very good.

Republica- Ready to Go Bloodhound Gang - Fire Water Burn Blind Melon- No Rain And the undisputed King http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZtA5...e_gdata_player

Bloodhound Gang had a bigger hit with "The Bad Touch".

[PastorOfMuppets]

The most obvious: The Rembrandts - I'll Be There For You I wonder how much money this band has made from that show. You gotta figure they get some payment from the residuals of Friends being in syndication right?

Also, some of the answers here are a bit off:

The Wallflowers had other hits besides One Head Light. The Difference, Three Marlenas and their cover of David Bowie's Heroes which was featured on that godawful remake of Godzilla.

Fastball had a pretty big followup hit to The Way called Fire Escape

Whoever said Hypnotize by The Notorious BIG shold be ashamed of themselves.

[Manmademan]

i'm just gonna blast This Is How We Do It and Return of the Mack all night long

you do that.

How about Elastica- Connection

edit: holy hell that's a terrible video. It was the most popular song, but Never Here was better

[jiji]

Bohemian Like You by the Dandy Warhols They're fairly popular, but none of their songs have ever been as big in the main stream as this one, as far as I know. Plus it's a great song and video.

I remember this one getting a lot of play. The rest of the album is pretty different, which surprised me back then.

I thought the girl on the keyboard was hot, and even the lead singer made me feel kinda funny.

[Dishwalla]

Was that Fugees song their only big hit? If so, that one.

[explodet]

Bloodhound Gang had a bigger hit with "The Bad Touch".

PSA: Three Point One Four is impossible to make out to.

[Str0ngStyle]

Bloodhound Gang had a bigger hit with "The Bad Touch".

Hell after seeing your user name how bout

Counting Blue Cars?

[Dishwalla]

I always liked how they referred to God as "Her". It so predates Alanis in Dogma.

[Manmademan]

not exactly a new concept, even in the 1990s.

What about Whale- Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe I think this song's claim to fame was being on beavis and butthead for 30 seconds.

[explodet]

Skee-Lo - I Wish

[Seraphis Cain]

The most obvious: The Rembrandts - I'll Be There For You I wonder how much money this band has made from that show. You gotta figure they get some payment from the residuals of Friends being in syndication right?

Did you know The Rembrandts covered the Thundercats theme?

It's kinda awesome.

flagpole sitta on letterman this song is a jam

[Greenhowse]

As long as people don't put Alice in Chains, At the Drive-In, The Verve, Sunny Day Real Estate or Cranberries, we good. How pop do we have to talk here?

Sugar Ray's prime is distant but they had more than one "hit."

This topic would also be good for "bands who released albums in the 90's that I liked."

[border]

Glad that this thread hasn't devolved into bickering about what exactly constitutes a one hit wonder, like the thread from a few weeks ago.

Bloodhound Gang - Fire Water Burn

The Bad Touch was probably a bigger song for Bloodhound Gang than Fire Water Burn.

[GavinGT]

Fastball - The Way

Nope.

I actually really like this song.

[Zodzilla]

Thought of a few other ones.

Anyone remember this song by Frente! ?
Frente! - Labour of Love

Also, in the late 90's European MTV had these guys on all the time. My friends used to laugh at how stupid this song was. (Even if it's kind of catchy)
Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler


Edit: Had to add in The Connells. Amazing. Song.
The Connells - '74 - '75
