Taro T Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Even though nobody ever plays Floyd's Brain Damage w/out following it w/ Eclipse; they're 2 separate songs. Just like This Beat Goes On & Switchin' to Glide are 2 songs that nearly always are played in succession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It brings my brains to a boil when the first is played in a random shuffle/playlist or Pandora and then succeeded by something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanM.D. Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 maybe this belongs in the 'feel good song' thread... or the NBA thread... but this was a great early 'rap' song. Don't ask me if Mr. Blow had any other hits. I have no clue so I'm rolling with it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

707BillsFan Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) a-ha is not a one hit wonder band You must be from Norway ... I can't remember any song but that one and I had that cassette. Apparently it's the only one "Rolling Stone" can remember too...it was ranked as their #1 one hit wonder song. Just looked up Billboard; Take on Me #1 in '85. Sun always Shines #20 - '86. That's it. So technically, they aren't a one hit wonder...they made the charts a whopping twice. My bad. Edited June 15, 2016 by Eric95403 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This brings up a question I've been meaning to ask. What is a "hit"? A #1 song? Top-10? Top-20? Top-40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billboard Top 40 is iconic. On another note, there is no doubt this is a one hit wonder. Maybe a couple hits if you're lucky.

BillsFanM.D. Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 "Somebody's watching me" - Rockwell That's a great song chorus. MJ made that tune. That's a classic one hit wonder with a sprinkle of nepotism from Rockwell's dad. Here's another one I liked...back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
