Boardsies Greatest One Hit Wonder Song - Live Thread

Mam of 4

Riverdance , just because I would never have thought of it tbh . Amazing .

Macy Gray I Try ,
Because we never give up trying

Spook_ie

Anúna and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra - Riverdance just epic!

Peter Sarsted - Where do you go to, my lovely because if I didn't vote this one Mrs spook wouldn't be happy

Squall Leonhart

Steal My Sunshine, summer pop goodness

Peter Sarstedt, great one hit wonder, love it, so overblown and crap but so good (Dustin the Turkey covered it, as "where do you go to, you're ugly" haha)

Tammy!

Steal My Sunshine because it's catchy. Didn't like it when it first came out but it's grown on me over the years. I wouldn't think of Riverdance as a one hit wonder more of a performance.

Peter Sarstedt because I love the lyrics.

Yeah, wouldn't have thought of Riverdance as a OHW, but it's the better of the two so I chose it. Did it even chart?

I honestly have never been able to decide if I love or hate that Peter Sarstedt song. There's something rather annoying and grating about it. And something that draws me to it as well. I'm abstaining for the moment on this contest as I've no particular love for Macy Gray either.

Electric Nitwit

Steal My Sunshine
I Try

Both genuinely good songs

Kolido

Currently scores are, you can still vote for this one, I will close this at 2pm if quota is not reached.

Stone sour - bother 0 Vs 4 Seether - broken
Swing Out Sister - Breakout 4 Vs 3 Chaz and Dave - Snooker loopy

Vote for riverdance. best 8 minutes of buck leping about a stage you ever will see, and the music is just great and stands up on its own.

Don’t know either of the first ones, will go Seether to move things along
Swing out sister is a cracking song, gets my vote

Love the Len song, while I appreciate river dance if I turned on the radio it’s Len id like to hear

Tough choice in the last one but I’ll go for I’ll try, still think it sounds great

Ah here, Mark Owen, though I've never heard it, but you can't be letting Rubber Bandits in to the next round.

Back on topic: Horse Outside and Let The Sunshine In for me here.

Clementine is an unexpected blast from the past, nice that somebody thought of it.

I never cared for It's Like That, goes in my "overrated" pile.

Spook_ie

Mark Owen-Clementine I would sooner cut my wrists than listen or watch them fools with their plastic bags

5th dimension - let the sunshine in Had to play it before I realised it was The Age of Aquarius, no contest , gets my vote

Tammy!

The Rubberbandits because Mark Owen annoys me and I feel guilty about not voting Riverdance earlier.

And Its Like That because I don't know why it's just the way it is.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Match 23
Horse Outside because f**k your Honda Civic, f**k your Subaru, and f**k your Mitsubishi. Giddy up now baby!!!

Match 24
It's Like That cause that's the way it is... huh! Plus it's a classic Dance Off song.

Electric Nitwit

Rubber Bandits - I can't vote for someone as punchable as Mark Owen!

Fifth dimension - I love "It's Like That" but I can't vote Run DMC as a ohw, not with Walk This Way and It's Tricky in their back catalogue too

Sheridan81

Mark Owen-Clementine

It far catchier and the vocals on the other song are bad.

Run DMC-It's Like That

Classic tune that isn't operatic like the other one.

Necro

Horse Outside because a man with a plastic bag over his head has no business making music. So naturally it's class.

And of course It's Like That for the second.

Cos that's the way it is.

Omackeral

Despite hating Blindboy, Horse Outside was a stomper and everyone seemed to go mad for it on nights out.

It's Like That wins for the music video alone. Some ill moves.

Is an ill move the same as a sick move but just not quite as good?

Kolido

Currently

5th dimension - let the sunshine in 3 Vs 5 Run DMC v Jason Nevin - It's Like That

While this resolves, I will post the next 2 matches, I will be away for a few hours.
