I find it hysterical that the only places I've heard the Crash Test Dummies song in recent years have been when I've been in Europe and The US. I didn't know anyone had heard of them out of Canada.

Ace of Base - The Sign

There's quite a little debate on the specific point in musical status of Ace of Base, who probably don't deserve so much consideration :lol: ACE OF BASE FOREVER!!!! :lol:

That Mambo # 5 lunacy was by some dude name Lou Vega who I think had another hit with some atrocity where it goes like "little bit of pamela all night long, little bit of tina..." blah blah, basically he's naming girls, and it was HUGE!! Or wait?? is that even the same song?? Is it even by this guy.. is lou vega really my wack pop song loving alter ego!!?? How i even knew this guy's name is worrying.. :shock:

 

Jimmy Ray!! :lol: :lol: We have a winner!!!

Yep back again..i'm whoring it up in this thread huh? ;) I was just lookin' at my fave music review site http://www.pitchforkmedia.com & they had this article right there at the front about the Star Spangled Banner and they're right..it's the biggest One Hit Wonder of them all!! (Quick, name another Francis Scott Key song)..and it's been in the charts since 1812, well they didn't have charts for a while but it's still played on the radio and on tv for some reason..heh heh ;)

Chumbawamba - Tubthumping

Dodgy - Good Enough

Soft Cell - Tainted Love

Eeeeeh, great thread!! I'm thinking about:

- Katrina and the Waves: Walking on sunshine (I love that song!)
