I never consider Falco a one-hit wonder because, after all, he recorded the original version of "Der Kommissar" and that was certainly a hit.

But how come no one's mentioned Macarena by the Bayside Boys?![]()

Slap it again, bliss. :wink: He also had a minor hit with "Vienna Calling". The fact that my oldest sister inflicted Falco on me as a child is something I still hold over her to this day.mercurialbliss said:*mental head slap*
How could I forget "Der Kommissar"? And his version was the better one, too.

I still love "What is love" from Night at the Roxbury.
hung9mike said:There are so many-- including some of the ones I've seen in this thread-- that I've loved that it's hard to single out just one. But I'll add a couple of my favorites to the mix.
"The Lonely Surfer" by Jack Nitzsche (evidently, the only song he recorded for himself that cracked the U.S. Top 40)
"For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield
"I'd Love to Change the World" by Ten Years After
'Cruel to be Kind" by Nick Lowe
