Whip It-Devo (they were technically a one hit wonder)

Whip it, whip it good

True- Spandau Ballet
Shattered Dreams- Johnny Hates Jazz

There isn't a band or artist who is a one hit wonder who I've listened to anything more than that one hit.

It's strange that when a person says One-Hit Wonder, everyone assumes that
a band was only known for one song but no one recalls anything else they have done, which definitely not the case with either Devo or Spandau Ballet.

Here's a one-hit wonder:

Possum Kingdom--The Toadies.

What I meant is that "Whip It" was Devo's only top 40 hit. I really like Devo and am well versed in thier music, but the average music fan would probably only know of "Whip it".

that is true to an extent, but two other Devo songs I've encountered people being familiar with is their rendition of "Satisfaction", as well as "Beautiful World" thanks to a Target campaign a few years back.

That song sampled these two songs "N Dey Say" by Nelly and "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" by PM Dawn. Two different songs by different artists sampled the same thing.

I like the songs made by a one hit wonder:

1. "MacArthur Park" - Richard Harris
2. "Dial My Heart" - The Boys
3. "Let's Get Together" - Hayley Mills
4. "Gloria" - Enchantment
5. "Purple People Eater" - Sheb Wooley

Johnny Hates Jazz had another hit with "Turn Back the Clock."

Both songs suck. In case you haven't noticed, Steve hates Johnny Hates Jazz.

My sister and I made fun of this song in Weird Al fashion. We would always sing, "When a pancake comes along, you must flip it!"

Also, Carl Douglas with "Kung Fu Fighting," a so-bad-it's-good song that inspired a hot dance in 1974, the Kung Fu.

DO THE KUNG FU!
