andrew	thats very true even they had a hit they still released some albums.
dave	although i enjoyed watching this it did annoy me a little, the guinness book of hit singles classifies a 'one hit wonder' as 1 number one hit, then nothing else ever again. so, most of the entrants don't even qualify. www.myspace.com.thesilvertongues
andrew	It was high... I think it was 5 0r 6 place Martin. I do agree with you. Norman looks like the Ginger Geezer in Bonzo Dog Vivien Stanshall. Who let the dogs out was also very high. my favourite one hit wonder is Brian and Michael and Bonzo Dog... just one song made me buy the album. I love it... Mr Apollo is a classic track, shame it was never a hit. I would like JK to do a version of Urban Spaceman.
