I created the list a while back but finding songs for it became kind of slow after the initial few songs that immediately come to mind.

So I searched the web a bit and stumbled across a great list over at wikipedia that I stole a few ideas from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-hit_wonder

The really great thing about it is that I bet there's not much of these kinds of list on the net or anywhere. Best thing coming close is some VH1 top. So again, yeah, great job. If I notice a clip like this, I'll make a note of checking whether it's on the list.
Cheers!

Thanks mate!
I have to admit a few had more than one hit, but they certainly have that "one hit wonder" feel to them.
Enjoy watching and if you can think of any that aren´t in there yet let me know.

This is just an excellent idea for a playlist/compilation. I won't get into it now, but rest assured - someday I will probably sift right all the way through it. Amazing idea you had there and a great job!

We have something in common then because I also mistrust the warmongering germans!

I'll upvote your comment - but know that the 1/8th Jew in me mistrusts you, still, warmongering German.

Cool thanks!
It wont let me replace the code because it registers as a dupe to yours.
Thats alright though, lets just keep yours, since it is longer and has more votes already.
It would just rot away in my personal queue if I replaced it.

Hey mate,

I reposted Crowded House "Better be home soon" for my downunder channel (old one was discarded)
YOu can find it here: http://www.videosift.com/video/Crowded-House-Better-be-home-soon-1
Maybe you want to put it in your list

Cheers,
Maatc

Would love to see the clip here where Dr. Zira sais to him "Alright, but you are just so damn ugly" from Planet of the Apes. Can´t find it anywhere though.


Anyone else have any luck?

No problem, you´re welcome!

There is so much great folk stuff out there!
I Tried to sift some Patty Griffin the other day, but it did not get a single vote

In reply to this comment by HistNerd:
Thank you, maatc, folk music lovers everywhere appreciate it!

Thanks!
Can´t believe I (again) posted a dupe of something I had already voted on in the past.
I am getting old...

Yay! Thanks for that! Let´s hope it makes it!

It´s cool to use whatever descriptive tags you can think of, even if it is the user name of the hostsites uploader. But like arsenault said, an alarmbell usually goes off when that happens because it usually hints at a self link and thats the big no no over here!

Enjoy the sift!

p.s. I like the dog in your avatar! If I ever get one I think it´ll be one like that.

In reply to this comment by monicamoody:
Another video I liked was by a person named kipkay and that name was also in the tags of the video. I think people from medacafe put their names in the tags when they post them.
Monica

thanks! Fixed!
