Rhythmatism - by Cheryl J

Vun Hit Vonders

Sorry for the delay; I thought it best to go into hiding while Noel Gallagher visited Australia. Never-the-less, I am back to bring you another exciting issue of Rheumatism. Leaving obscure music for just a moment, the other end of the scale is a one-hit wonder (note: Mark Latham). Here are some of my favourite (and not-so-favourite) one hit wonders...

Echo Beach



Artist: Martha & The Muffins!!!!!!!!
Other Hits: Not really, but they came back as M M with another minor hit "Black Station/White Station".
I love this song, it's very catchy and the saxophone is cool.
Video: Far Away In Time...

Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)


Artist: Edison Lighthouse
Other Hits: Edison Lighthouse was really just Tony Burrows, who was also in The Pipkins and White Plains.
I wish I were in the 70's just for this song. (And to get away from Gretel Killeen
Video: Nobody Knows Like Me

Cars



Artist: Gary Numan
Other Hits: He wasn't really a one hit wonder, it's just that everyone knows him for this song. He had other hits in the UK with The Tubeway Army, and with his album "Telekon", "The Pleasure Principle" and "Dance" after which it all went a little Kim Beazley-ish for him.
Be warned: This song is as catchy as Bird Flu in Hong Kong
Video: Here In My Car

Tainted Love


Artist: Soft Cell
Other Hits: They had another 5 Top5 singles in the UK, but nowhere else.
It's like S&M for scenesters. At least they got to it first before Manson destroyed it.
Video: I Don't Pray That Way

Groove Is In The Heart


Artist: Deee-Lite
Other Hits: A few, nothing big though.

Deelite looks deelicious,

Oh, rheumatism, bless me I thought you were about music, and any of those things rubbed on will prevent the aches and pains will they? how novel!

Nice post, recognised a few things, perhaps my central and peripheral vision are going!

Good to seeeeeeee you and the rheumatics. Bless you, my son.

I just remembered Deee-Lite this morning, which then forced me to write this out.

I haven't heard from her in a while, thank the heavens. I guessed that the RSPCA pushed her back out to sea.

Good to hear. I love YouTube, such a waste of time.
There are so many more one hit wonders, I should have made a longer list.
