Your favourite 1 hit wonders

[Plotloss]

Great tune, but somewhat overshadowed by the blinding Bug Powder Dust (Justin Wharfield mix is epic for those fringe hip hop fans...).

Says on here that HR is owned by Rank PLC after being formed in '71. Haven't found anything connecting OP to HR yet (still looking though).

I'm not deliberately trying to shoot anyone down, s'just that little tidbit got my curiosity aroused so I had to go look.

How did you find out about him being the neighbour in The Osbournes?

Bomb Da Bass did the Xenon2 tune, but not sure if it was ever released? [EDIT: Doh! too slow)

Now I'm really suprised this hasn't come up yet...


Charles and Eddie: Would I lie To You.

Fantastic, although I did think at least one of them was a woman until i watched the video

Did the rap version chart???


There were two versions one was Hip hop on precinct 13
then the vocal with a different bacing tune, as found on 'into the dragon', i thought the non album version charted??

[Plotloss]

Charles and Eddie singing that in a place with absolutely shocking acoustics somewhere in America is television to behold.

Its a shame really because one of them, cant remember which, had an amazing pedigree before that tune came out...

I saw a compilation album on sale in the UK when I was back home last week, entitled "The Greatest One Hit Wonders" or something like that. I scanned the line up on the back and I could name another hit by half the bands/singers on there. Bunch of misdescribed arse!

Not that I'm anywhere near Plotloss in the musical knowledge stakes, but I do seem to remember a lot of pointless suff!

Well I'll be jiggered! Still can't see what he had to do with any of those enterprises though, as they're owned by huge multi-nationals.

[Plotloss]

He had something to do with the setup and ongoing management of theme restaurants.

It mentions Planet Hollywood in the article which of course he doesnt own either...
