One-Hit Wonders You May Not Know Are Dead
Вставка

- You may not know all of their names, but you definitely know their songs-“La Bamba,” “Who Let the Dogs Out,” “Rico Suave,” and so many more. They are the one-hit-wonders-the stars who savored every second of their fifteen minutes of fame, but were unfortunately unable to come up with follow-up hits. Sometimes they’ll have success in other fields altogether, and you’ve surely seen many pop up on reality shows over the years, but a few of them sadly died before their time. Let’s take a look at some of the one-hit wonders you may not know are dead.

"And from Adam Sandler's last good movie" The shaaade😂😂
Korkor Adaii 😂😭
What's sad is his co-star in that movie, Alexis Arquette, also died in 2016.
Korkor Adaii I SCREAMED😂😂😂😂😂😂
for me his last good movie was The Zohan
There's no such thing as a good Adam Sandler movie.
I'm sorry but Falco is a LEGEND in Austria and Germany with tons of hit singles and has sold about 60 million records.
Hey, dipshit is this YT a German or Austrian channel? Is german being spoken on this channel? No so shut the hell up, you have no argument.
Fly Beep you must be fun at parties
Damn...this vid sure pissed off some Falco fans....
🤣🤣🤣
Right 🤣

That's right kids, lip syncing use to end careers.
Too bad it doesn't happen anymore... :(
Arené Lomax no the 2 who were lip syncing never sung live and couldn't sing at all, that's why is ruined their career.
Arené Lomax Bieber and swift are luckey it's not a common practice anymore hahaha
Arené Lomax actually your wrong. It was more common to lip sync back in the 80's than it is now.
It seems to me, that you don't know why it was a scandal.
Dead or Alive are not considered a one hit wonder in the UK. They were very popular in the 80s and not just for You Spin Me Round.
And in America they had more than one hit too!
Brand New Lover
Here in the US they were just popular for meatspin dot com. Check it out
They had at least 7 hits in the UK and at least 3 hits in the USA. Their music was very influential in the Gay Clubs all over the USA and the UK. They do not belong on this list.
DJ George.
Jane Sweetman true
Milli Vanilli was not a "One Hit Wonder." They had several hits on the top 20.
Pilatus and Morvan were *NO* hit wonders. The actual singers were Charles Shaw, John Davis and Brad Howell
Technically,they were a zero hit wonder since it is known it is not their own!It is like a team that cheated and had to forfeit all their wins!!!
They didn’t sing any songs…
Falco is everything but a one hit wonder. This is so America-centric, unbelievable.
Do some research before you create a list like this.
D. Niiya yanks are so ignorant
I hate that. You can be wildly successful all over the world, but only chart once in America and all of a sudden you're a "one hit wonder".
I'm a Yank but I agree with you. As a member of the Air Force stationed in Germany for two years I discovered David Hasselhoff of all people was a big rock star in Europe. I would have never known that had I not been over there.
l I agree with you 100% absolutely and he was so stunning With His stunning features white face black hairs like wow good looking man
Milli Vanilli? Seriously? They have 3 number 1 on billboard us hot 100!
till they found out they were fake '' goofball'
You mean the studio vocalists had three hits, not Pilatus and Morvan.
Saying the Divinyls and Chrissy were one hit wonders makes me sad! They had so many hits here in Australia and she is sadly, sadly missed! Chrissy rocked, RIP
She's basing this video off American hits and not including the rest of the world.
Errors: Dead or Alive also charted with Brand New Lover; Milli Vanilli also had Blame It on the Rain among others; Falco also charted with Vienna Calling; and The Knack also had Good Girls Don't. Do Your Homework.
Falco😭😭❤️
He wasn’t a One Hit Wonder!!! He had so many good songs that Charted so high!
I miss you Falco! Rip🙁❤️
Agreed , but there's a difference between having good songs and having hits !
Crucial P Denis Lea He had Hits. Many.
Vienna calling..
@svin Der Kommissar, Rock me Amadeus, Vienna Calling, Jeannie, Coming Home, Mutter der Mann mit dem Koks ist da, Out Of The Dark.
@svin Well... the fact that a song that didn't even get mentioned in this list still gets radio-airplay 20 years after its release shows how stupid it was to call Falco a One-Hit-Wonder.
I remember the 80s. A fun and beautiful era.
Hazel Eyes wish i could relive it and do it all over again.
I wish I could have grown up in the 80s
ekelhaft
Hazel Eyes we had the BEST time in the 1980's well for me June of 1984 after I graduated!
Hazel Eyes i wish i was a teen in the 80s..
Raise your hand if u know every song on this list
Aq1
nope lol
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️... lol .
Hella
why?
Omg... Didn't even know some of these ppl are dead
Dear US, only because someone doesn't land more than one hit in your country, it doesn't necessarily mean they are "One-Hit Wonders". Falco is a Legend in the german-speaking area.
Not only in the German-speaking area. You could easily find 3 Falco titles in our alltime eighties list (the Netherlands).
AliaslsailA Correct! USA thinks that the world revolves around it and has the power to define all things. SMH Music fans globally are much more loyal to artistes.
you have right
If it wasn't a hit in America it is surely pure crap so no worries
AliaslsailA Der Kommissar was huge here in the states. what are you talking about? i remember that video vividly.
Falco was a one-hit wonder??? Are you f****** kidding me??? He's a legend and still the best-selling Austrian singer of all time!!! He had much more than one hit song!
Mikurino i am from austria and i agree
Gotta love these comments. It's like the Simpsons' "Comic Book Guy" come to life, if he were a pop music nerd.
I'm from Australia and I agree
Never heard of him til today. None of his stuff is relevant where I live, either.
Weeaboo Jones wow thats sad
Some of those songs are beautiful that they left behind. RIP!
Christina Amphlett was a legend. May have only one “hit” in the States but, surprise you’re not the centre of the universe
Divinyls had quite a few hits here in Australia. Stupid putting Chrissie on this list.
I came here to post the same thing. Americans thinking if it didn't happen in America, it didn't happen.
Divinyls were huge in Australia.
All the boys in town, wayyy better song but not as controversial!
Pleasure and pain, science fiction, back to the wall, all the boys in town, siren to name a few, they were one of our seminal rock acts in the 80s and 90s just because I touch myself was the one that charted the highest, doesn't mean it was their only hit
@@ODN67
American girl, here. You are so right. I love my country, however, a lot of us do think (not me) America is the center of the universe.
The dragged down manili vanilli got dragged down for lip syncing...when there were SO many people lip syncing then and now
Exactly!
they didn't just lip sync live, they didn't even sing the original vocal.
I know this will get flack but I kinda think that was partly due racism...
People lip sync when they have to perform live, sure, but Mili Vanili didn't even sang the original song.
@@cellfreezer exactly
Milli Villi was not an one hit wonder! Blame it on the rain, Girl you know it's true, Don't forget my number, Girl I'm gonna miss you.
Vivian Mangal - Vanilli*
They would have had a nice career, and Rob P. would probably still be alive, if their manager hadn;'t screwed them over and laid all the blame on them.
Vivian Mangal the point of the vid is their biggest hits. The others weren't as big or as known
Luke Easton IIRC (I'm on my phone right now and I can't google) Blame It On The Rain, Don't Forget My Number and Girl I'm Gonna Miss You were all top 10 hits. Those songs were hardly obscure.
Luke Easton - They had three number 1 hits in the U.S. and a number 2 and a number 4. I don't know how they included them in this list.
Chrissy Amphlett was NOT a one hit wonder, She had multiple hits with the Divynls
Exactly what and insult too Chrissie
Sure I touch myself was huge internationally, but in Australia they are considered one of our seminal rock bands with plenty of hits, and plenty of these charted in countries like the US and UK
Calling Falco a "one hit wonder" is blasphemous. This man's contribution to European pop music in general and his still lasting influence on German speaking artists in particular cannot be overstated. He was a absolute genius and way ahead of his time.
Wow that guy from milli vanilli was one gorgeous guy :/
Cherry White They both were/are
That's why Frank Farian used them as lipsyncers
They looked good, but he didn't want them to sing
Cherry White Yah i bet
+salmansengul Absolutely!!!
" Girl you know it's- "
" Girl you know it's- "

Had no idea Pete Burns had died
me neither
New Name yeah he died oct 24
New Name Yeah I didn't know about him until last month.
Rebecca anice Y did he to die on my bday
New Name yes. Popped up when I was searching death of George Michael. Was shocked
Falco was huge Star in Austria ,also gery popular in germany. He had a lot very great Hits. Not a One Hit wonder
He also had lots of songs hit the charts in the USA he never was a one hit wonder
im from Argentina and he had several other hits here like Vienna Calling and Jeannie
man it seems like everyone dies in car accidents in the DR. wasn't there another famous person who died in the exact same way recently?
The Divinyls weren't "one hit wonders" at least not here in Australia.
The Divinyls are not one hit wonders and should not be on this this list. They are a great Australian rock band.
epic beardface in america they are..
They're a one hit wonder band in the US.
I'm a pooping unicorn So what that means nothing.
and Elvis is a one hit wonder in Australia
epic beardface that hit was his only hit in the states though
Falco is no where near a "one hit wonder" ... wtf ....
Steeve 転 CS:GO Hacking RIGHT ?????
outside of the german speaking countries he is
König des Toasts,no he had 2 big hits,Der Komissar and Rock me Amadeus.
Don't forget Jeannie - also a hit and a very controversial one at this time.
At least 3 world hits for Falco.
Mambo Number 5 is my favorite by far, can't stop dancing whenever it's played!
Calling Falco a "One Hit Wonder" is close to blasphemy. He was *extremely* successful in the german speaking countries for many years. Since his lyrics were german, it was extremely unusual for him to have a hit in the US. Calling him a one hit wonder because it was only 1 is very silly.
People loved Falco in Brazil for years. Never a one hit wonder.
The Title should be changed from "One-Hit Wonders You May Not Know Are Dead" to "One-Hit Wonders You May Not Care Are Dead"
Falco wasn't a one hit wonder
Tako je Lidija,reci ti njima ;P Bezobraznici jedni hehehe
In america hes a one hit wonder

Undeniably, All these songs were and are great!!!....Thanks and God bless, R.I.P.!
LOL 3:20 when my son takes a shower I pay this song on his echo dot, also rick roll.
lmao
Falco a one hit wonder???? Are you f*** kidding me? He was an icon!
ParticleFairy bruh :") like how can he be in that list -_'
ParticleFairy his hit was rock me Amadeus and that's it .. the band after the fire -made der kommisar popular . Falco was a flash in the pan in the USA . Most people under 40 never even heard of him here .
I was thinking the same thing!
Yeah, even only looking at the US charts, Vienna Calling was a top 20 hit.
Who the fuck is falco?
How DEPRESSING!!
I was a kid and they were kids back then!!
And now they're DEAD!!
🤣
thats life
Damn I was a kid when the beatles came out!!!
@@menyasavut3959 And so will you soon? STFU asshole. What a fucked up thing to say.
Cesar Dominguez i
Falco was definitely not a one-hit-wonder ! He was and is still HUGE in his native Austria !
FALCO a One hit wonder??? How dare you..he was an Icon.. shut up..
Yes in the US. Not in Europe.
I feel personally insulted by him being on that list. It's not like Amadeus was the only song of his that was popular in the US ffs
He was well known in the Netherlands. I like Jeanny very much, very dark song, but so great performed!
You don't know what music is all about
@@moniquelitjens653 The most beautiful song of that time....
To paraphrase from The Princess Bride......."You keep using that phrase one-hit-wonder.....I do not think it means what you think it means." Falco, Milli Vanilli, Cutting Crew, and Dead Or Alive all had multiple Top 20 hits in the USA.....not to mention some of the other artists in other countries.
mutigerinky Cutting Crew had a number 9 hit with "I've Been in Love Before".
Jermaine Stewart also died after his hit " "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off"
What about "Get Lucky"?
@@aero2zero ...and Say It Again, a big hit in 1988, in the U.K. at least...
Really , never knew that !
@@crucialpdenislea1963 Jermaine Stewart 1957-1997.
"..and drink some cherry wine. uh ha!"
Milli vanilli weren’t one hit wonders though, they had like 3 or 4
Girl You Know It's True
Baby Don't Forget My Number
Girl I'm Going To Miss You
Blame It On the Rain
All top 5 in the US charts and 3 of those songs went to Number 1 in the US.
I still love those songs!
Jude Asher exactly. Milli Vanilli was not a one hit wonder. Sorryyyyy
Wow. 4 hit songs off of ONE album and you call that a one hit wonder?? Riiight.
Someone else wrote and sang the songs, so technically they were a no hit wonder.
The Divinyls were not One Hit Wonders. They were a big part of the Australian Music Scene in the 1980's and 1990's and had numerous hits. RIP Chrissie Amphlett!
I saw the Divinyls live in a small pub venue. Chrissie was fierce and wild and like a terrifying lit stick of dynamite onstage. So out there and strong and theatrical.
I liked their song pleasure and pain
1:06...she said "Rob(ert) Pilatus" but the Picture shows Fab(rice) Morvan...you had one job...
Minas Tirith. I was looking for this comment. I was about to make the same comment.
Spot on... and also... when did Milli Vanilli become a "one hit wonder"? They had 4 major hits, "Baby don't forget my number", "Blame it on the rain" and "Girl I'm gonna miss you" - "Girl you know it's true" was their first single and biggest hit, but the album sold 14 million copies world wide and 33 million copies of the singles. Not exactly what I would call a one hit wonder....
Blame the producers
@@dermoon ,c
Minas Tirith And she rolled a 1
They may all RIP
May they...you country bumpkin. Back to the barn!
Cutting Crew had three hits. 'I've Been In Love Before' peaked at #9 in 1986 and 'One For The Mockingbird' peaked at #38 in 1987 on Billboard's Hot 100 charts.
Chrissie Amplett is still revered as a goddess in her home country. Much loved and never forgotten. All the boys in town.
Dead or Alive, Divinyls, and Milli Vanilli had more than 1 hit.
Milli Vanilli had more that one hit in North America 5 top 5's, 3 #1s. The other 2 had one hit, at these the Divinyls had a top 5. Dead or Alive didn't break into the top 10.
Just because Dead or Alive was not in the Top 10 on the Billboards doesn't mean the song is not considered a hit and the band had more than one song chart. That's the point the original poster is making.
A hit record is considered the top 40, but even then most people might not remember it, a big hit is the top 10. Most people have heard and do remember those.
Hog wash, everybody knows You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive and it never reached Top 10 in the US.
Jeremy Holmes bye
1:07, thats not even Rob, thats Fab!
Thank you , i was looking for that comment, they shuld do more research
I know
Exactly! What a dumb mistake, wow.... BTW, I did an interview with Fab earlier this year, which you can see on my channel now ;-)
Rob sounded pretty good they played those two
Thanks for the history! Informative video, very good.
Great writing! Love the video
It's news to us here in Australia to have Chrissie Amphlett and the Divinyls listed in the USA as one hit wonders. Chrissie and the Divinyls were a very important part of the music industry in Australia for close on 40 years, up there with other Aussie Groups as Midnight Oil, AC/DC and INXS.
Chrissie was a diverse talent, I remember seeing her on stage in Sydney in 1998 playing the part of Judy Garland in the original Aussie stage production of "The Boy from Oz" with Tod Mckendry, a good decade before Hugh Jackson did it on Broadway. Her role only took about 20 minutes of the whole show but she left the audience stunned with her performance and her voice was out of this world. In the early 80s she was every Aussie School boys sexual fanatasy.
Her death was shock to all of Australia and she sorely missed. But she and the Divinlys were never a one hit wonder in the Land of Oz.
Milli Vanilli had 3 US number ones....not really one hit wonders now are they??
Donn 020 they actually had 4 hits
+TheycallmeRosie Productions Sylvia,kite
Donn 020 just wanted to say that...
To be fair Carly Rae Jepsen has had as many one hit wonders and she’s still a one hit.
ALDC BOSS LADIES Same thing applies to Fetty Wap lol
Baltimora is one of my favourite songs ever.... Love it! First heard it in Beverly Hills Ninja!
The DiVinyls also had "Ring Me Up" which was featured in "Sixteen Candles". Good song.
Wow, a list of people I actually didn't know were dead (With the exception of Rob from Mili Vanilli). Good job. Great 80's nostalgia for this 90's kid too.
Greg Holmes Yeah he's the only one I knew about. Didn't know about Pete Burns until last month and he died in October.
The only reason I clicked on this is to comment that Milli Vanilli is not a one hit wonder. They had "Girl you know it's true", "Don't Forget my number", and "Girl I'm gonna miss you." Three hits, stupid. Regardless of who is doing the singing. The British reporter even called them "successful" in the piece.
And Blame it on the Rain
Technically, Milli Vanilli were really no hit wonders considering they never performed the music. And in all honesty, their manager should have been held responsible for their fake careers.
And Ma Baker
Gotta love these comments. It's like the Simpsons' "Comic Book Guy" come to life, if he were a pop music nerd.
The Divinyls were a huge Aussie band!!... Definitely not one hit wonders!! .. Do better research! ... 😡
Agreed!!!
Yes a great band - saw them at the Bondi Astra '79, I think, sensational. Certainly no one hit wonders - love 'Pleasure and Pain' another classic
She seems to be basing this just off of hits in America not considering other parts of the world.
+Vicki Harland One hit wonders doesn't just mean that artists or groups have released just one single that topped the chart. It also means other jams did too the charts, but there's one that's very popular.
It's almost like this is an American channel lmao.
Kevin McMichael(Cutting Crew) and Jimmy McShane(Baltimora) gone too soon. Your songs are international treasures and will never get old....ever.
Get your facts straight. Falco is not a 1 hit wonder
Lots of these had more than one hit
Falco: Rock me Amadeus, Jeanny, Out of the Dark, Vienna Calling, Der Kommissar. Pretty lame, Nicki Swift.
Terra Gaia Der Kommisar may have originally been a big hit for Falco, but most people remember it as a big hit for After The Fire, who did an English language translation of the song
@@danicegewiss862 She could have played much more songs than those 2 - Falco was *huge* in middle Europe for many years. Calling Falco a one Hit Wonder because he had only 1 hit in the USA is like calling "Journey" an unknown band from the 80s because they were never big in Europe.
Yes, lame channel all round Nikki. You must be making a lot of money peddling all this unhelpful crap. Sorry, I thought you were genuine. My bad.
@svin you are so right! ALL of NikkiSwifts work is stupid. She has a great platform here for truth telling but she chooses to do quite the opposite. Also, she does NO fact checking and deals with topics she knows very little about. Must be making a lot of money!
For years, I thought Falco was singing "Hot Potatoes", not "Amadeus".
Good info thx!
Dang ,growing up in the 90s i knew almost all these songs.
Falco was not a one-hit wonder. He had four big hits in Europe.
Guido Rehder "in Europe"
Guido Rehder. unique voice too
@@iluvu.6161 I guess you should include the biggest music market of the world when making a global list.... or just call it "American One Hit Wonders".
(And before you argue that the USA is the biggest music market: look up "Europe" and check what it is and which countries belong to it.
Falco wasn't a one hit wonder. He had a heated career in Austria and Germany. Look up Jeanny, one of his best songs💕
Can you please change the title to "One hit wonders in the U.S...." So damn rude to assume that some bands were one hit wonders when they had strings of hits, somewhere other than the States!
yer and think the beatles got famous when they went to the us
I know! Divinyls were HUGE here in Australia!
If they couldn’t make it in the US, then nothing they accomplished anywhere else mattered.
@@jlomesou this is why noone likes americans 🤣🤣
No one likes us, til they need us. ;)
Soooo many artists I grew up listening to have passed on.
just read all the comments below....you guys sure are loyal to Falco and a few others mentioned in the vid. That's great!
Which of these songs were your favorite?
Nicki Swift well my favourite is rock me Amadeaus
"You Spin Me Round"is on my MP3 right now...aww the 80's.
Nicki Swift 1) The Knack - My Sharona 2) Devinyls - I Touch Myself 3) Millie Vanilli - Girl You Know Its True
Actually, none are. I prefer "You Stole My Wife You Dirty Horse Thief" by the inimitable band Nelson's Got the Willies". It was their only hit in Upper Volta. Sadly, neither the band nor the country still exist.
newromantic999 I agree... My Sharona.
The Divinyls were no one hit wonders in Australia where they were formed
I liked the song pleasure and pain
I love the 80s!!
Me too.
And me
Its not just the 80's though.
For me Falco was not a one-hit wonder. Maybe on the US but in other places he had more than One hit. -Including "Titanic" which is my favorite song, Der Komissar, Jeanny etc. Great video by the way!
The Real Rubie my thought exactly! He was probably known internationally for one or two songs, but he isn't a one hit wonder in the Germany/Austria/Switzerland region :)
Yasi Exactly. I forgot that other of he's hits were "The sound of musik" and "Body next to body" (I think, correct me if I am wrong) Glad to met people over here who knows about him. I hope this video make people curious and make them check he's music out. Falco is really underrated on this side of the world
"Vienna Calling" was a hit in the US.
The Real Rubie Der Komissar
The Real Rubie Der Kommisar
They call Falco a one-hit-wonder, then say... Well technically he had 2 hits
The reality is, Falco, although he died 20 years ago, is still by far the biggest Austrian musician of the modern era
MILLI VANILLI had 5 top 5 in the United States, of which 3 were Number one, definitely nowhere and under no justification can be said that they were One Hit wonders
Nevertheless, they became a musical joke after it was revealed that they weren't even the singers. Plenty of musicians lip sync to their own songs at a live performance, but they were lip syncing to *someone else's songs.* That's why they had to turn in their Grammy.
Damn, love all of these singers/groups!
So going by this title if you're not big in America you're just a one hit wonder?? Could that be any more insulting
Sonnys Mummy UK,typical yanks,theyve got there heads so stuck up there backsides and need to pull them out to see reality.
Kupa Cronk Umm, us "yanks" hardly agree with the title either.
Proof please
The divinyls were far FAR from one hit wonders and I, as a fellow Australian, completely resent that statement. That song is now the song for Breast Cancer as a reminder to women to "touch themselves" as any woman knows she should to detect lumps in her breasts. Chrissy died of breast cancer. I really REALLY am pissed to hear anyone say they were one hit wonders.
That was a great list of song, im have to add them to my oldies mix lol
The Milli Vanilli guys were actually male models hired by a producer in order to sell the music visually
Hmmm, let's see, we've only known that for about 21 years now...try to keep up.
One hit wonder and Milli Vanilli - something is wrong....
Pete Burns was cool
Wow, thank you for that info...I had no idea they were dead.
Dyvinals were absolutely NOT a one hit wonder, they're a very cherished Aussie band, and Chrissy's death was mourned by many of us.
Milli Vanilla was not a one hit number. A number one album, a remix album and 5 hit singles 3 of which made number one. Falco had a second hit called Vienna Calling. And did originally write and record Der Kommisar but the hit version was by a group called After The Fire. Cutting Crew had 3 charted songs. The Knack also had 3 charted songs.
They were a two hit wonder in 1988/89
you forgot Johnny Kemp from the hit song Just Got Paid the eighties R&B hit
Shout out from South Africa. Former mobile DJ here. I think you forget that UA-cam is international and that posts are not restricted to one country...unless you indicate such. One hit wonders??!!! Milli Vanilli? Falco? Dead or Alive? The Divinyls? Well, they all certainly had more than one hit in South Africa. "Lover Come Back to Me" by Dead or Alive, for example, was an even bigger hit in South Africa than "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)". Et cetera et cetera!!
I didn't know any of them had died, except the Milli Vanilli guy and I had thought he had oft himself. Thanks for the education. Excellent spot.
Bring back 80's music...
Roni TheEqualizer yes 😁
Eww
Agree since now they are getting very stupid with rap!
Bring back 90's music.
Stella SW Chalue no u
Falco ? One-Hit Wonder? 2 ? --- Cmon
I had no idea they all are death.
Some great songs they gave us, thank you ❤️
The Divinyls had a lot of hits in Australia.
*Poorly researched!! Pete Burns was NOT a one hit wonder. He had MANY songs that were played in clubs and on the radio in the mid to late 1980s!*
_Misty Circles_
_That’s The Way (I Like It)_
_You Spend Me Round (Like A Record)_
_Lover Come Back (To Me)_
_Brand New Lover_
_My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me To The Doctor)_
_Something In My House_
_Come Home With Me Baby_
You forgot "In Too Deep"
I was thinking the same thing !!!!! Lack of research kmt
None of them are really popular and well-known though. People only them for You Spin Me Right Round.
Thank you! I was just going to comment about this. Dead or Alive was NOT a one hit wonder, nor was Milli Vanilli.
Also, Pete Burns was not in The Wedding Singer.
how is "i touch myself" considered 'suggestive' ? Isn't it quite forward...?
+Warren552011 then it was the mental power of suggestion the turn the song to the song love that song and the devinyl
ass cloww.
The Divinyls were not one hit wonders. If you have not experienced Divinyls earlier music, you have missed out. Pleasure and pain was a huge hit in Australia as well as Science Fiction, Boys in town & Sleeping Beauty, youtube them. Eh, maybe you just had to be an Aussie.
yep, gotta be from down under, or intent on hunting down musicians and their 'unknown' songs - some of the better tracks can often hide behind 2-minute clips (or smaller). you guys have some killer bands - sorry to hear about chrissy's fate.!

@@warriorpoet5461 Yes, it was sad and yes we used to have some great bands but unfortunately (much to my dissatifaction) we have not invested in any rock bands and good live music is hard to come by. In the 80s/90s, it was everywhere. You could see heaps of bands in the charts both rock and pop. If you want to make it in the music industry, you have to go to the US or Europe. Now, theres a nanny state culture and venues invest in nothing but poker machines and make millions from that. They only care about profit. And theres all this BS concern about violence so venues rarely do live music anymore, especially in Sydney (NSW). They even introduced lockout laws meaning you cant enter a venue after 1am. It sux big time.
How the hell is Chrissy Amphlett a 1 hit wonder?? The Divinyls are all over Ozzy radio waves on rock stations daily!!
After Adam Sandler's last good movie....savage!

And Divinyls were a very successful band in Australia
I am almost offended by calling Falco, probably THE definitive european megastar, a mere one-hit-wonder.
