I don't know why this song crossed my mind today and I was like, who the fuck does that? Surely I'd heard of this band before, didn't they have some other stuff I liked? I don't think so.

I hate to admit it, but I always kind of dug that "Sex and Candy" song. Never bothered to check out anything else Marcy Playground had to offer, though.

Status Quo had quite a career, but they never hit big in North America.
Britney and the Backstreet Boys sold a lot of albums.

I know T Rex wasn't a classic "One Hit Wonder", but name me another charted song off the top your head
Marc Bolan, the first glam rocker
interesting that Elton John is playing piano in the video

Rack "Good" from Better than Ezra, Screwey. I really dig that tune. I'm not sure that's a one hit wonder band, but who gives a fuck?
