Boardsies Greatest One Hit Wonder Song - Live Thread

Electric Nitwit

Divinyls - I love Bright Side but I think this is far enough

Deep Blue Something - dictionary definition of a one hit wonder!

#19 - A tough choice as both are worthy. I'll vote for I Touch Myself but I'm happy with whichever goes through.

#20 - Another tough choice here, for the exact opposite reason. I'll vote for It's Like That as being marginally less awful.

Ficheall

#19 Monty Python, but happy either way


#20 Breakfast at Tiffany's because the other is just noise.

Monty Python because it makes me happy but the other one is good too.

Deep Blue Sometimes for the memories.

Spook_ie

I touch myself just a nice tune

Breakfast at Tiffaney's just prefer it

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life is the most played song at UK funerals. That's interesting. It gets my vote.

It's Like That is upbeat, has a slamming video and has RUN DMC. Get's my vote.

Always look on the bright side greatest song ever created

Divinyls-I Touch Myself

Cause the other song is awful.

Deep Blue Something-Breakfast At Tiffany's

Classic song, ultimate OHW.

I can see it being played at funerals where people want to raise people's spirits but not so sure it gets played more than the likes of My Way or Wind Beneath My Wings, in fact the Independent does a top 10 and Bright side of life only comes in at #10

It's just better imo. Carry your heart into my arms and all that malarkey

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Wicked Game - a really tough one because its upbeat fun song vs dramatic emotional song. Break My Stride is great, but I think Wicked Game is the better choice here.

Waiting For A Star To Fall - this one wasn't as tough, but not easy either. Both good and enjoyable songs songs, Waiting For A Star just happens to be a much better one.

quickbeam

Wicked Game is an amazing song, and sexy as hell.

Waiting for a Girl Like you is the better of those two.

Electric Nitwit

Wicked Game
Waiting For a Star To Fall

Both iconic tracks and better than their opponents

#21 - Wicked Game because it's simply a class song.

#22 - Breakout. Just prefer it. Besides, Waiting For A Star to Fall is almost certainly gonna win this one anyway but at least now it won't be a total wipeout!

Break My Stride

Waiting on a Star to Fall


Not bothering my hole giving reasons this time because loads of other fckers haven't bothered

Squall Leonhart

Chris Isaak and Big Meets Girl.

Just better songs!

Wicked Game - this should win the entire comp

Breakout - i was always playing this song. Love it.

Break my Stride and Breakout.



Neither great, but the best options from a pile of crap.

Kolido

Matthew Wilder - Break My Stride 2 Vs 6 Chris Isaak - Wicked Game.

R 2 Match 23


Peter Sarsted - Where do you go to, my lovely

Vs

Republica – Ready To Go

R 2 Match 24


OMC - How Bizarre

Vs

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Ready To Go - because I'm standing on the rooftop shouting out, baby I'm ready to go!!! And I'm ready for this song to get through to the next round, because it definitely should. Far superior song.

How Bizarre - it's a thousand times better a song. Crazy is crap and shouldn't have made it through round 1, and a Gnarls Barkley aka. Cee-Lo Green (or whatever the hell he wants to call himself) lookalike threatened to kill me once outside a bar in LA and I had to make a quick getaway in a Limo, so f**k that guy.

Where Do You Go To - still not sure I like it, but it's better than the other.

Crazy - it's decent and I *hate* the other.

Squall Leonhart

Peter Sarstedt, I just like the poshness of the lyrics

How Bizarre, fun song, lovely guitar riff

Kolido

Im going to vote here for republica and omc. Ready to go is just a great upbeat song and the singer was in one of chesney hawkes one and only videos, a song that should be still here. Omc because I really like it and I realy hate crazy.

How Bizarre and Ready To Go are my choices here.

Crazy is a good song but suffered a bit from constant overplaying.
And Where Do You Go To is just cheese, and not good cheese. Average cheese at best.

Ficheall

Peter Sarstedt because it's a great song, and

Crazy because the guy in the other song isn't actually singing, just shouting..
