Man I hated that song. My mom used to make my siblings and I dance to it all the time. The original not the remix. When I was little I didn't understand the lyrics, but as I got older I did. Never knew that it was about girl cheating on her bf.😂
I was exercising to a playlist with that song when my 4 year old wandered in and heard it and thought it was a very funny song. So funny that he would randomly yell SHAKE THAT HEALTHY BUTT every so often in public until he forgot about it.
@matt Lol okay, no need to rain on people's parades. Sure, have your opinion but music isn't meant to be so constricted to the present... We literally live an in age where you can look up super old songs that's the parents of the kids these days weren't even alive for... You're narrow-minded. Music is to be all-consumed. Enjoy this era.
29 (30 in May) and I agree! I wasn't really cognizant around this time but 90's music has a way of being like a time machine and taking me back to simpler times (I'm also recently experiencing this with 00's music too).
@matt You sound like your past was incredibly rubbish or you never lived through the 90s for you to know how good it was. A lot of people here had the best of memories in the 90s (me included) and most times we’d love to relive those moments through music, movies, games and other mediums. Lighten up after all you watched this video didn’t you?!?
I miss the 90's so much. Those were the best times of my life. It was so much better in the 90s then now. Easier times and wish I could go back to then.
I love the fact that Chumbawumba’s Tubthumping is a song that teaches people not to give up no matter what happens. The COVID-19 pandemic isn’t gonna ruin any of my dreams!
Most of these songs are the soundtracks of my teen life. And I still listen to it all, and im in my 40s. 90s RnB, Hip-Hop and Pop Rock are the best back then.
For some reason when my little sister was about 5-6 years old she was obsessed with 'No Rain'- she was way too young to understand it was a more sad/somber song but she just thought it was catchy so she'd get all excited whenever it came on. When I've asked her if she remembers how much she loved it now she has no clue what I'm talking about but the song has a spot in my heart having such a funny memory from when she was little 😂
@@matthewklein660 Perhaps having another number one with Deeply Dippy, plus another hit with Don't Talk Just Kiss, went against their one hit wonder status.
Y'all, Sex and Candy gets played in Canada less than Closing Time and the singer hangs out playing poker in Toronto. No business ranking it top 5 over New Radicals and Natalie Imbruglia. LEN at 3? What is love as the best one hit wonder? I don't even think of it first when contemplating this topic. Right songs, wrong order. Did you throw darts? LOL
Started the 90's in NYC (finishing college). Then went back to my hometown of Boston for a while, followed by a move to the Berkshires (western MA). Mid 90's was grad school in San Diego, and I finished out the decade in L.A. Each of these songs reminds me of a different city.
@Dominick Ruocco From a musical standpoint, I completely agree with your view. However, when you look at other things, such as TV shows, movies, games, etc., a debate can be certainly sparked.
Some other classic one hit wonders: The Verve Pipe - The Freshmen The Refreshments - Banditos Seven Mary Three - Cumbersome Spin Doctors - Two Princes Veruca Salt - Seether Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffany's
I have other ones that you didn't include in your list: Pump up the Jam - Technotronic Groove is in the Heart - Dee - Lite Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane Walking in Memphis - Marc Cohn Get Ready 4 This - 2 Unlimited I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred Cotton Eyed Joe - Rednex Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer Crush - Jennifer Paige Song 2 - Blur MMM Bop - Hanson Barbie Girl - Aqua I'm Blue (Da ba dee) - Eiffel 65 She's so High - Tal Bachman In my opinion these are my favourites that you missed. Can I just say that the 90s were the best decade ever?!
One of The Verve's songs reached #1 in the UK and it wasn't Bitter Sweet Symphony. Most of these I do know for one hit even if Natalie Imbruglia had a few top tens. I also remember Amnesia (and Homophobia) by Chumbawumba.
...can I add "Who let the dogs out", the Bow Wow boys. Blur, Song 2. I think the lead singer from OMC died from kidney failure, and the rest of the group disbanded. The Verve and Macy Playground bring back memories ❤️
The only decade better than the '80s was the '90s. I was old enough to drink and party it up all night. "Jump" and "Whoomp There It Is" were unifying forces at the club, where everybody moved as one organism. One tune that could have made this list was "James Brown is Dead," which was about as played to death at the dance clubs as "What's Going On?" was at grunge bars.
Oh man you got me to comment twice in one video. The Macarena was taught to us in elementary school. We even performed it for out families. It was one of my safest moments of life till recently when my sister and my oldest niece realized it worked for where song in 4/4 time.
Jamiroquai has never been a one hit wonder. Canned Heat, Alright, Travelling without moving, you give me something, little l, love foolosophy?? Jamiroquai was one of the biggest acid funk dance music bands of the 90s.
I got sick of “baby’s got back” playing on repeat from my neighbor. I took my own copy and dropped our rotary ☎️ on top, cracking it. Upon inspection…it still played but all other tracks were DONE. That’s gotta tell you something…..
Whoomp! There It Is was a great hype song of 90s. Don't get me started on the duo's brief cameo in that Geico ad. It's just that good. And, let's not forget "You Get What You Give" by New Radicals. Totally rad song to embrace your independence in your teens and ponder life in many ways.
I miss the 90's. The music - all of the genre's had real generational artists emerge in the 90's. The cars. The styles. The movies/TV shows. It really was a great decade to grow up in and look back on in so many ways.
IKR Kyle. Mainstream music became garbage after 2003. Long live 1970-2003 mainstream music. Screw 2004-present mainstream music. BTW don't forget food and drinks from the '90s too, dude.
@Jim Atkins Yeah, same here. Could have replaced one of the songs on the list with this. Marc Cohn's version of the song, which is the original, is absolutely awesome, but I also love Cher's version of the song. However, Cher is not a one-hit wonder, so her version wouldn't count.
I always think of "Secret Smile" rather than "Closing Time" when it comes to Semisonic. The latter seems rather pedestrian and not sure why it was so popular.
I was 13 and under for this decade. 13 at the end of it in 99,and yeah, this is my youth here. I watched all these videos every single one. I loved music then, and now
"Andy have been manager for 105 days what means I've heard Closing Time..105 times. Still dont know the words" I never heard that song. Once I heard it i didn't care for it. But this songs means it's time to go home. Now? It's my favotite song."
Great video. But I have to disagree about Lisa Loeb, even by your revised definition of what a “one hit wonder” is. She had quite a few more hits after that song. And she continues to record to this day. She is a cat-eye-glasses goddess.
Tubthumping made it even to the FIFA saga, that was really important. And if you don't believe me ask all the people who got to know Blur because of FIFA Road to World Cup '98 😬
Sina wasn't a part of OMC, she just featured on the track, OMC was Pauly and their producer. He wrote a book about how the song came to be and gives an overview on how OMC came to be. Believe it or not, the album itself as a whole is really really good. One of my all time faves. If you listen to How Bizarre, then the track before it, you'll get the answer to How Bizarre when they say ''want to know the rest, by the rights how bizarre''
I'm shocked that Crush by Jennifer Paige didn't make the list, it is among my Top 2 favorites of the 90's, the other being You Get What You Give by New Radicals.
That was a pretty good one!! And also. “I Love You Always Forever” by Donna Lewis. That’s what I can’t stand about these vids from WM. A one-hit wonder shouldn’t be relegated on popularity alone, if you think of it 25+yrs later…that’s the sign of a good one-hit wonder!!
The weird thing about Snow and "Informer" is that he actually was involved with a gang while living in a neighborhood with a huge Jamaican population and actually spent time in prison for stabbing two guys in a bar fight because some other guy snitched on him. I never would have guessed that whitebread looking dude had some legitimate street cred.
The funny thing is though, The Verve’s “Bitter Sweet Symphony” the beat was used for Jason Derlo’s “Riding Solo “ without permission. I read The Verve were awarded 12 million dollars on the basis of copyright infringement.
@@jonpoetical Let’s not forget how Vanilla Ice stole the “Under Pressure” bass line. Even though he wasn’t a one-hit wonder, it’s still a prime example of grand theft music.

Bittersweet Symphony

The fact that Macarena was WAY bigger than any modern viral dance without the help of the internet is truly insane

Jesus … I miss the 90s. Getting wasted and dancing was so fun … the world wasn’t fucked up yet
You can blame 9/11 for that, dude.
Social media actually
9/11 did it first actually. Followed by corporate greed and social media.
Well, there was the whole World War 2 thing.
Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” is still one of the best hip hop and also the funniest songs ever made.
Then I got high, is a close second.(funny wise)
And when others use his song I'm sure he is still getting paid 💰
I was exercising to a playlist with that song when my 4 year old wandered in and heard it and thought it was a very funny song. So funny that he would randomly yell SHAKE THAT HEALTHY BUTT every so often in public until he forgot about it.
But he also had my hooptie and rippin as hits

Totally. A major oversight on this list. Rick Beato had it on his top 20 90's one hit list.

"Steal My Sunshine" is my happy song. when it plays my wife and daughters automatically proclaim, "Dad's happy song",
You forgot Criss-cross' "Jump" (They are now music producers) and The Proclaimers' "500 Miles" (Their only hit in the States)
500 Miles was released in 1988
@rachele3334 yes it was released in August of 1988 but it wasn't until it appeared in a movie in 1993 that it was released in North America.
Jump was pretty good and does fit this for sure!😆😆😆
These are all certified hood classics
I love the fact that Chumbawumba’s Tubthumping is a song that teaches people not to give up no matter what happens. The COVID-19 pandemic isn’t gonna ruin any of my dreams!
I love the fact Professor Brian Cox is in it.
For me, that song will always be remembered as the FIFA WC98 game theme
I thought I was so cool learning the lyrics to Informer. I still remember them. lol
I bet every kid that grew up in the 90's still knows how to do the Macerena 🤣
Every kid knows the macerena. Still a huge staple of school dances to this day.
Actually, no 😄 i was 10 when it became a fad and always refused to do it.
Agree!
It's still around
Not just every kid - most adults too! Anyone who went to clubs or parties in the 90s learned how to do the Macarena. I’m 65 today and can still do it!
"Tag team back again..."
Nobody knew they were ever even here & after that one hit they just left again 🙄😄
😑🤣
I wish Euro-dance would make a comeback.
Euro-dance is the best!
Shit like Milk Inc, Sylver...
Good times
Lisa Loab had another song. I dunno HOW big of a hit it actually was, but I heard it a lot for a while: "I do"
Natalie Imbruglia is not really a one hit wonder, only in the US and Canada I suppose.
MOJO should have another 20 more best one hit wonders .
they don't plenty already
@@jimbo9208 Well, they kind of do have a lot of them. I wish they could move on and do other types of lists.
Our favorite song we can dance to, "What Is Love?" (1993) by Haddaway, the number one best 90s One Hit Wonder and that takes the cake
I much prefer the entirely different
'80s hit "What Is Love" by Howard Jones.
Those songs 🎵 brought back some good memories
Most of these songs are the soundtracks of my teen life. And I still listen to it all, and im in my 40s. 90s RnB, Hip-Hop and Pop Rock are the best back then.
House of Pain’s “Jump Around” is turning 30 this year.

I was neighbors with the bee girl a long time ago, and didn't realize it until way after I moved in.
This is basically the sound track of any Comedy, Drama or Action movie from the 90’s to early 00’s. Damn I wish I could go back in time.
“What is Love.”
“Mr. Vain.”
“Jump Around.”
“Baby Got Back.”
Love these 4 good songs back in the ‘90s.

Sina wasn't a part of OMC, she just featured on the track, OMC was Pauly and their producer. He wrote a book about how the song came to be and gives an overview on how OMC came to be. Believe it or not, the album itself as a whole is really really good. One of my all time faves. If you listen to How Bizarre, then the track before it, you'll get the answer to How Bizarre when they say ''want to know the rest, by the rights how bizarre''
Sir Mix-A-Lot had a couple of good songs, actually. This is just his most popular
Edit: also I’m pretty sure he’s a preacher now….Reverend Mix-A-Lot
Yeah, he is a preacher now.
I'm shocked that Crush by Jennifer Paige didn't make the list, it is among my Top 2 favorites of the 90's, the other being You Get What You Give by New Radicals.
That was a pretty good one!! And also. “I Love You Always Forever” by Donna Lewis. That’s what I can’t stand about these vids from WM.
A one-hit wonder shouldn’t be relegated on popularity alone, if you think of it 25+yrs later…that’s the sign of a good one-hit wonder!!
Guys, thank you for suggesting both of these songs. I love them both equally much.
Crush was a great song! And I absolutely loved the New Radicals.
We use to buy the whole album just for that one song back in the 90s , me siento viejo
Lou Bega is what I meant to say
18:36 that part is pretty similar to "con calma"
Because is the original song hehe, is Informer!!! Ay Dios
No Eagle Eye Cherry??? I love his song Save Tonight. The video is really good too.
Well, KISS 99.3 plays Save Tonight
The weird thing about Snow and "Informer" is that he actually was involved with a gang while living in a neighborhood with a huge Jamaican population and actually spent time in prison for stabbing two guys in a bar fight because some other guy snitched on him. I never would have guessed that whitebread looking dude had some legitimate street cred.
I never do that
The funny thing is though, The Verve’s “Bitter Sweet Symphony” the beat was used for Jason Derlo’s “Riding Solo “ without permission. I read The Verve were awarded 12 million dollars on the basis of copyright infringement.
Jason Derulo has been in several copyright lawsuits
Meanwhile, Bitter Sweet Symphony lost a suit for violating copyright itself.
@@Michelle-DiPalo The Stones(Jagger) gave them their Songwriters credit a few years back. The way they did them was dirty...
@@jonpoetical Let’s not forget how Vanilla Ice stole the “Under Pressure” bass line. Even though he wasn’t a one-hit wonder, it’s still a prime example of grand theft music.
@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 If you want an example of grand music theft, See Led Zeppelin's catalog!
Letters To Cleo should've got some love on this list
Dangerous Type? I want you to want me?
