I think most people only know her for "buffalo stance" and that was why i figured she was fair game. This is of course a US-centric view of things. And i think old EagleEye would also more than qualify as well.
Seems like the more the world is connected, the more the idea of "one-hit wonder" becomes less and less clear. For example...Mr Big had one hit in the US with "be With You" and then dropped off the US radar and has been relegated to One Hoit Wonder status and yet they enjoy a HUGE following in Japan and had many hits there after that song was done in the US. Not that i would want to be Mr Big.
Are you the guy who said that Sly Stone got laid too?
I don't get this whole thinking. Everyone gets laid. (Except that orangeyogurt guy who used to post here.)
Teens get laid, and seniors get laid. Beautiful people and ugly people. Skinny people and fat people. Smart people and not so people. Straight people and gay people. Talented people and klutzes. Rockers and folkies.
It is true, that the more famous, powerful, rich, you are the more people hanging around who are desperate to sleep with you. And that can be fun, and certainly makes things easy.
I guess the point is, they didn't make a lot of money off their hit, but the one night stands were memorable.
The money is gone, but the burning and itching remains.
(Gettin' Laid by a) Manchild
(Gettin' Laid in a) Buffalo Stance
Kisses on the Wind (Prelude to Gettin' Laid)
(Gettin' Laid by My) Buddy X

In varying degrees, but all successful/wide singles.
Okay...but i still would have liked to change places with her BITD.
Im assuming that the idea behind this thread is to change places with a OHW when they were in thier prime...as opposed to trading places this them now. Right?
I would trade places with any OHW hack who can make a living by collecting royalty checks for their cheesy ballad, as long as I wouldn't have to sing it over and over again at Six Flags for the rest of my life.

i say this only bc a friend of mine's father has a great story about meeting moulty w/ a groupie BITD, so i figure if one were to be any one hit wonder, why not be moulty...

Apparently this is one of the biggest single in the history, and as he also wrote the song he's still making 1000 ??? A DAY in royalties, licence fee etc...Not to mention that dude used to have Madonna as a live-in concubine when she was 20.
My only problem is that I would have to hear this song all the time.

which was the all-time best one-hit wonder?
Unlike say, Zager and Evans. Who I do not want to trade places with.
Or Autograph..who opened the 1984 tour with Van Halen. 1980s second-hand Van Halen rejected groupie action for days.
???
r u questioning my selection o f her or her merits as a one-hit-wonder?
I think 'buffalo stance' and 'seven seconds' were both pretty big, right?
Wasn't 'Manchild' a decent hit for Neneh Cherry off of the 1st album. I think it was co-produced by Massive Attack
not that i'm saying i'd trade.

I wish throwaway pop/rock tracks were still as cool as this
The second time was a bad joke.
2/10 for execution.

I'd trade place with this guy then and now.
