Did any watch 50 greatest one hit wonders last night?

I don't agree with Kung Fu Fighting but the others were cool like Match Stalk and Match Stalk Cats and Dogs and Mouldy Old Dough but the one that should have been top... Bonzo Dog Urban Spaceman.

why,who won it?

need I go on?

Kung Fu Fighting was number 1 on the list.

well thats strange seeing as he had a hit with dance the kung fu.

Where was Norman Greenbaum placed Andrew? That for me is the ultimate one hit wonder.

But Karl Douglas wasn't a one hit wonder - He had a follow-up hit called (believe it or not) Dance the Kung-Fu!!!!

from a year or so before... not a hit but much played on radio, especially Junior Choice.

mind you...are you really a one hit wonder if you've had loads of hits, albeit under different names?

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.

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.

thats very true even they had a hit they still released some albums.

these are the acts that have never had a top 20 ever apart from one No 1 hit.its worth noting that in britain the archies are the most successful 1 hit wonders as they spent 8 weeks at No 1 and 23 weeks in top 40,so christ knows where the TV show you mention got their info as its wrong.
