*Which I will always think of in terms of the Simpsons’ parody, where Old Jewish Man exclaims, “I’ve had it with this verkakte flippity-ship!”

**Great, after my train of thought answering #4, it took me a LONG time to come up with something other than “Disco Stu”.

***Though the Simpsons train of thought did prompt me to give this answer. Thanks for the radio request, Fat Tony!

Am doing a complete blank on the movie - the one I’m thinking of is the one with Hung Nor (sp?), about Cambodia, which I think was made in the 80s and set in the 70s? Good one again, btw. :slight_smile:

Haing S. Ngor - The Killing Fields. 1984, according to Wikipedia.

#6: Did you mean one hit wonder artist or song? I can’t recall the name of Debbie’s big hit, I think she won an Oscar for it.

52

I meant the artist, but unfortunately left the question ambiguously worded, creating a scoring hassle for our moderator. Sorry about that, Dolores.

To help a bit, here’s a matching of mentioned songs/artists with the corresponding artist/song:

Debbie Boone - You Light Up My Life
Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky
Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight
Ram Jam - Black Betty
Terry Jacks - Seasons in the Sun
The Knack - My Sharona
David Essex - Rock On
Coven - One Tin Soldier
Apollo 100 - Joy
Focus - Hocus Pocus
Golden Earring - Radar Love
C.W. McCall - Convoy
Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime
Mott the Hoople - All the Young Dudes
Don McLean - American Pie
Vicki Lawrence - The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia
Clint Holmes - Playground in My Mind
Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting
Minnie Riperton - Loving You
Flying Lizards - Money
Two potential problem areas, but no-one’s matched them yet so the points may prove to be moot:

The Turtles - Weren’t even close to a one-hit band, but their biggest one was “Happy Together” in case anyone puts that down

“I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing” - a hit for both the New Seekers (technically not a one-hit band, although nothing else they recorded was anywhere near as big) and the Hilltop Singers

53

Nor were they a '70s band, for that matter.

54

It was the New Seekers version I meant.

I propose that question #6 be stricken from the record due to unclear wording (band or song title?)
mostly because no one else picked my song / band…:smiley:

58

It was perhaps a bit unclear, but Band is the only real logical choice. How can an individual song be a “one-hit wonder”? Every song is a hit or it’s not; in short, every song that’s a hit is a “one-hit” wonder, for how can a single song have multiple hits*? It’s got to refer to the band, so anyone who answered with a song should have that vote counted for the band.

*Yes, yes, there are cover versions blah blah blah, but incidents of that are pretty rare, while one-hit wonder bands aren’t…

59

In all seriousness, I don’t agree.

I know a lot of the songs that are “one hit wonders” from 42fish’s list (post #52) above, but I had no idea who or what band sang / performed them.

I will, however, accept either ruling on this - it’s just a game, after all. My request was 99% in jest.
