There's Charles Davy Check, Bryant, say something. Only that they say something funny. I just say something for us: that's good quality and a broadcaster to freeze up I'm here in a professional, talkers, emigres freezing, I'm good man, and this is a fun goofy little topic and we haven't done one.

This is a fine article written by a guy named Charles, doubly Brian writer, further site yeah I will go and say one thing. I was disappointed in this article and I would still like to see someone tackle this in documentary style. Maybe is the psychology of being a one, had wonder, oh like what it does to your psyche, yeah. Is it better to have that one hit and fade away? At least you had that, or is it better to have? Never you know I just of would be real curious to see a series of interviews with one wonders to see like how they feel about it. Is it better to have hit and lost then never to have hit it off exactly, and I can really finding I'm sure, there's one or two who like listen to the podcast in it. Do right and let us know how it is weren't interested, Lou, beggar. At the very least. A beggar lessens the faintly beggar so

I wanted to commend you for this article because you really like this is a tough one for with Hasta forks articles we typically take a tie There is no has a lot of research done eyes very well defined, and then we deconstructed this one is like I I looked on the internet and if you type in one wonder there is like zero Scholarly work done on it and for good reason. I mean it's interesting that you, like you, brought up the psychology of being, among other, should I even anyone ever done. Study like that. There is nothing, it's all just lists and actually did find one good website. It's called one hit one central dot com, and then they have everything you can play like every song. They have it by ear, though also through the one had wonder, was from like the sixty seventy thousand, maybe fifties. There are some of the greatest songs to mere some of the one wonders sure- and I mean that's the point No one wonders is something that everybody liked at one time we just didn't like that, whatever else ever make an eye

Ellie says it a large collective group anywhere back to me commending you, you, had to take something that was really amorphous, that everybody knew and we knew if you got wrong and weapon the shape, legged definable shape and you got it right. I think you did a great job, think you uncle so the first thing, pointed out was that no one is a hundred percent certain of the origin of this phrase and trade, but we figured out there. It was first came in print nineteen. Seventy seven right! Well, that's what phrases that Org says and I can't find anything to dispute it, but a writer, their wrote, the sentence in July. Seventy seven about ABBA. Instead of becoming when everyone expected a one hit, wonder they soon had a string of hits behind them and although the website traced out or does say it

since certain of the origin of this phrase and train- but we figured out there, it was at first came in print nineteen, seventy seven, while at what phrases that org says- and I can't find anything to dispute it, but a writer, their wrote, the sentence in July. Seventy seven and it's gotta be on the because we're so american centric cheer Ass, the Vienna Billboard TOP one hundred and specifically in the top forty to be considered a two year technically for like when most people like their been books, written about one wonders and that's usually worth what they say. Ok, so that wasn't it or anything. That is a great definition. Now it's a good definition, but that's the generally held definition, but then that's where it gets right. Blurry as we are about to find out

Right wine, in many ways I mean you make a point that there is a lot of one hit wonders by that definition, who are legendary musicians, yeah, like a Jimi Hendrix one hit generous Joplin one had Garth Brooks as Chris gains Yeah, that's hoses. Only billboard had Zoe billboard top forty year, but he had country had lived on the country to top ten, but yeah is as the main stream tat. Forty. His only hit was as Chris gains with the hair. Her all tat idea, man, those yeah- I don't know what's on there was even a running back near the bed, the dead, the White, Stripes Lou Red Ink pop Debo, some like iconic bands and musicians that have only had one hit and then you ve got artist who never had that hit but are still considered

one wonders, because what you and of realizing, is busy, despite the definition of what a hit is A one hit wonder is something different. It's just an artist and a song who captured something. For a moment in time. It doesn't matter if it was a tough or forty head right like you, you see them while a voodoo mexican radio, absolutely not a top. Forty had now, but that's definitely hit church in the Zeit guys. You put it absolutely who was met with you, modern English, so the weather, girls. It's raining. Men, like you you'd say all of these are definite one wonders, and none of them had tat. Forty hits rightly so, but still sticking to the strict definition that a minute still works to write like the penguins earth angel. In the fifties right in the sixties, you had some time blues

blue cheer. They really spent blue, unlike their one. There. One thing and one shot was covered in Blue: yellow cheer did summertime loose green, tambourine member, that's on now. Men, had a dream. Tat burying was very like psychedelic. No and the lemon pipers has won the songs were sort alike in the seventies. Argent hold your head up, like everybody knows that song pants but I bet ninety nine people out of a hundred I've, never heard of the Van urgent. Now they ve. I think, no one that the guess who one then Joe Dirt or yes, what's a package, it wasn't. There are illegal and resolve what ever soldier of men such a great like keep your chin up movie, is how good, like really hate David Spade. You can hate all of that kind of comedy gonna, but that movie has such like. It's got heart to keep moving

I had friends, it's our networks. Streaming, add friends, it worked on it. That's where I have my Gary busy insider story. Oh yeah yeah. I think I told you he was you supposed to play the Father and if you ll notice in the film he does not play the father knows done by one Fred Ward, yeah Zone Gary VC was set for a day and it didn't work out. He made it. Will you tell the whole story he made it into black sheep, with Chris Farley in David Spade was in a year he was like the crazy guy lived in a school bus in the woods. Is the parties born and play its actually, please no color office carry busy Hello if you should know listeners, do you want a new year's resolution? That's easy to keep yes resolve to help put

to your identity and personal info with lifelike identity, theft, protection, lifelong alert, you to potential threats to or identity, and they see more than what you can see by just monitoring your own credit like your info on the dark web and that's a big deal yeah, and if you the problem lifelike? U S, based restoration specialists, no, the steps it take to help resolve your case. After all, one in five identity theft. Victims who had accounts open in their names discovered their theft through bank or credit card company, and of course no one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but lifelike is the new year's resolution does not only easy to keep it'll help. You protect what you ve worked so hard for get lifelike for up to twenty five percent off your first year: gonna lifelike dot, com, slash stuff

its lifelike dot com, slash stuff for up to twenty five percent off alright. So that was the fifties. And that's generally, when the rock error in the fifties is when you people say you can start talking about things like one wonders get like not some guy who, in one big ban hit in the nineteen thirty's other answer, though they were their choice, MR there has been one song. That was the one hit wonder for to bans which is interesting, Ohio to funky town, really lips incorporated right, nineteen, eighty and then out of you, we're pseudo echo. They did a version of that in eighteen. Eighty six,

no there's little more electric and a beat, and that was a bona fide that forty eight as well see scare people can. Another funky there. I have that. Whoever wrote that I really cast it yet I did so the sixties arena. The sixties was the green tambourine. Seventies sounds like spirit in the sky air by Norman Green Bomb, together with an appeal, Thirteen one took over the line. I literally wrote shudder next to that. What like me, are you hey? That's all it's pretty that brewer and cheaply the seasons in the great song, Terry Jack's, never heard of the note. No. No, I never any also make the point that the seventies were lousy with disco. One hit wonders him in a disco episode. We talked about why, because it was a producer driven rather than artistry, exactly at an even bother to like list any in here. It's you can just name. It does

I saw you may have a killer. Of course you had bans like saw cells, tainted love and a Mickey you're, so fine, tony basal, I want candy by bow wow you, What's on, I don't remember very shy. Is there but you shall hear so that the eighties, lousy with it, but a lot of the sums are great songs and a lot of the artists in the eighties were popular and other countries, and are known as one wonders here in the U S like, I was reading an article on thing, cracked. Maybe the about one had wonders- and they were saying like aha head take on me, which is a hit here in the United States, but that was it yeah, but they're like one of the top fifty grossing bands of all time worldwide. Yeah well in our hearts falls into another. We are category which is abandoned

on the one hand, wonder if you actually had a quieter second hit a really yeah they had a song called, always shines on tv. That was like a top twenty had I make why remember that nobody does mid their good, though neither awesome and then member right said Fred Anti sexy huge in England. Yes, like there, I'm too sexy was actually The only hit number two in England they had another one that hit number one, but here in the states yeah. I think it hit number one here and exhaustive, and then there was a full rights at Fred The same with Frank he goes to Hollywood, I add yet they were really big in Europe in

Gary Newman. Yet there was a good song, though that's all holds up. Car vacuum. Listen cars yeah that dude was a good musician wine. He was hugely popular and still like towards today. So he's he's. One is guys it's like! Please don't come you one hundred right! I've got a fucking, successful career cut. Look at my house. It's a car. Now it's like a mansion. He lives in his car. The safest economic outdoors, Falco and how he had Nina were really in german speaking countries, yeah yeah. I can see that, but you know the ninety nine red black lives below the saloons and then Falco. Sir rock me, Amadeus yeah huge at here, like you, didn't occurred in my young brain that there was it from

Amadeus Soundtrack. Remember it came out at about the same time as the movie earlier and, like I just thought it was part of the soundtrack yeah movie soundtrack. Well, with this, though, is that one might wonder it sort of a sort of a derogatory thrown in earnest. Alot of these people are like in America, like you jerks, I was huge in Europe or maybe some other dream and an amendment was gone yawn here. Who cares so much everyone here The nineties crash test. Dummies. Remember those did well. That was the song oh yeah editor Akerana even on anyone like to count that phone or about faith, no moors, epic. Yes, he that's a ban that hugely critically popular and had a big cult following their but yeah. Just the one hit the epic says: I'm a writer you wanted all, but you can't have it. As I remember here

first area does the cool thing I've ever heard yet and that lead singer. What's his name like something he's like super respected, he's been another ban daily, Mr Bungle Yeager, that's a big like his big what following not not among colts, even like hmong people who are in courts so that music that's an overview yeah you're really good point this article that, like one who wonder that derogatory termism system aimed at, people only in the music industry, all of its work. The lion's share of it is yes, but it shows up in sports. You pointed out a couple of a couple of instances: yeah? Well, if you have one hidden baseball, then you ve been a complete and utter failure, but a couple of guys have had one hit and then, when it was a home run, which is pretty cool, it's pretty who was that there is a guy named dumb, o Chris Jelinek, whose name I recognise for some reason

and I know, follow the Mets are anything, but I guess I just saw that that bit of trivia before that he had one who knows a home run yeah. Maybe so, there's a guy who didn't have a hit named Eddie Adele. But he had one played appearance in nineteen, fifty one game for the Yankees and he was a little person oh yeah, and they put a man against the sailors Browns and he drew four consecutive balls in gonna walk. Yeah and his jerseys in the Hall of Fame, and it's you the media, is right. Now, I'm running my face. His number was one eighth, really yeah, but he was, I guess you could say a one hit sports wonder as a kind of funds, yeah yeah I mean that are there was his jam. The treaty are paid for and that's a

was aware that he was a little person, Sir Money off. What about the art world design world is very famous person here, Harvey Bell there, who has the perfect name for what he did, was that the perfect name, hurry valid sounds like the creator of the smiley face yet iconic. Seventy smiley face created. That is a marketing campaign. It sounded like an internal morale Campo right for state mutual life Assurance Company and took off. I don't The company made the money or what, but he was paid two hundred forty bucks for it. And he never had another artistic hit and I looked to see. If there are any other artists to reconsider. One had wonder I found somebody recognize any whom I do recognise one great would the painter of American Gothic, oh yeah, he painted that and was a one. All sorts of prizes became like this.

Caused celeb like all over the world, and the media started digging into his life and realise that he was a middle aged bachelor lived at home with his mother and sister, wanted to know more about that always suddenly like this really couldn't handle that the limelight as its pretty said, story interest that I read an article about it. I'm mental floss with it was worth reading you never painted again her. I don't think he ever Calloway the gusto we didn't stop painting altogether to remember the end, an article while our certainly has a lot of people famous super famous for a single painting, but they may have been. You know very revered in other areas right like faith, no more that's right and a faint there were the art world. I told you saw the scream this last trip to New York. Oh yeah, you're, like me, yeah there's this was like now I can see what you mean like build something like that up in your head. Yes, he it everywhere and then just to see the real one. Eighty they're gonna go one of two ways: sure you're gonna be underwear.

Or amazed completely agree, and that's been my been what's happening with art because you know how I feel about our know, how they feel right. I love it. What about books yeah to kill a mocking bird, the other one most often cited as the one had wondered, because Harper Lee wrote one book now that some one of those rare ones where I actually think the movie is better than the book Oh yeah, I love the book, it's one of my favorite books of all time. And I had to write a while and I went back and read it and then I watch the movie shortly after us like holy cow, the movies better than the book Gregory back. I mean here talk about one of the best casting but every, but like all those actors were amazing air, every single one of them it's good stuff. She wrote the one book and she worked on a second

for a while come along by that showed it than in the nineteen eighty. She started another book and never finish that one either. I guess she just progressed in it and I think she is at an end and if anyone has an answer, why she never wrote again same with a salad you yeah catch on the right. I was it. He said he wrote short stories to, but I'm here keen ever published another novel and I will never know and John Kennedy Tool Chair, a confederacy dances, half and you think about that book, just in your normal life have almost never maybe the couple times a year, maybe when it's like a movie or in the works that never happens. I was thinking about that movie here that book yesterday. I really- and I haven't read this article yet have you read? It gets good. It's like, I think, a lot of people have these expectations because its noticed,

like genius Worden after this guy committed suicide in it it is really good, but I don't think it's like when the greatest books of all time. So it happened him dinner now I decided, I never read the book, I don't know much about it. I know kind like a lackey southern gothic year can a novel. I lived with his answer thinkers and they like it is crazy character. Now Louisiana did it's always grab my attention because it's just like a perfect title and the guy's name is perfect, as well John Kennedy to their or that the character, his the author gotcha. While he killed himself, he was clearly now suffered. Some sort of mental illness and dumb could not get published and drove him to our eventual commit suicide and nineteen sixty nine there's mother made her life's work to get it published and did so in eighteen, eighty, nine and then his second book was published in the Bible. I think a nineteen eighty six.

Was made to a movie, so he's gonna want her wonder then well bottle was in a huge yet, but I gotta, but yeah I would say, is one I wonder, and you also bring movies to me yeah and on, again. Sylvia Plath is on here for the Bell jar I can. I wish I could then here. Could she was a well known poet. I hadn't internet, you know, but she did write the one book and then which it is to go ahead in Yemen or something I don't know how she killed herself. I think for genuine drowned herself right, so we play along yourself. Hunters self, I think, to change that sounds right, cadmium and seen and no wonder boys were Toby. Maguire rattles off the famous celebrity suicides is really great as a great movie Joseph Heller, with catch running to that certainly

wonder so yeah movies, I mean they're, more directors and actors that you can even mention that had one head but legit super super heads. People like Michael, is it to me now or Samina Semi. No, I think a low if it, if you're speaking in the italian and be criminal to mean heeded the dear hunter of course, one best picture and for the academy awards. Did he now? Did he now? That's what they tell him when they're like making on play. Russian roulette did him out, except they price scream at the scene of so intense All that very young to be seeing that movie? In retrospect, I get my impression only dahlia huge, but here he famously made Heavens gate as its follow up, which was one of the notorious disasters. One with Ishtar. Wasn't like water world was

gate, a warm baby movie to reset. Having can wait, he was in having can wait an issuer, so what about hasn't gay? What was that about doubting the western? If I'm not mistaken yet, and it was two statements Where is failure and very expensive one and then to mean on ever he made a few other movies, but you haven't heard of many of them needed here. The dragon was like with you work. We are only other like notable movie, thus must be Goodwin yeah, but it is far from a hit. I got to do something and then my favorite Steve Gordon, when my favorite movies of all time I seen it you didn't see Arthur. Not only have I not seen the original Arthur, I haven't seen the re make that includes a front Hodgman as a candy store managerial. Even that was terrible by the way, not husbands bit nationals great, but that the dream, And I was so sad because Arthur is one

These that I hold very very dear and Steve Gordon Rotten directed it and then died afterwards, only movie ever made by his own hand. Now I think he had a heart attack or from an died young but youngish and it was just so like if it was a good wrenching Sperience watching their remit. For me, why did you ought to like, for example, have you read dawn, is one of my favorite movies of all time. There's not a chance that I will oversee the remake a red dot while I'm not either. I learned Laughter Arthur failures. That's the one that taught you the lesson here, not gonna watch anything those really precious to me that they rebooted were re, make it again. Never again, some flake Hodgman tell you I will listen to I like Russell brand. You know- and I thought you know, Helen Mirror and John Gill Goods Character and was just enough of a spin off like let's could be interesting, but then

Everything about the movie was just some new little span to make it different and it was like. Make the the man a woman was make, though the White Guy a porter again you know, and as likely we use mine is just it was bad, so bad I gotcha. Let's have four Arthur if you or more about Arthur, you can type tat organisers buy it now it is progress is about. I forgot is ordered one wonders study more, so it was.
