Katrina & the Waves....Walking on Sunshine...Man you hear that song everywhere


Afternoon Delight.......Starland vocal Band...


Not a one hit wonder, but in Country I miss hearing Doug Stone, He had open heart surgery, and was given 2-3 years to live if he didnt stop smoking & drinking, Last I heard he was still kicking, doing small gigs but taking it easy.

Okay I'm going to plug myself, kind of....

In 1990 I was in a band signed to Geffen Records called "Salty Dog" we had one "semi-hit" with the track "Come Along",....most people remember it as the Hot Dog Bun song....

I'm in a different dog now.!!!




I remember Salty Dog, we used to play "Come Along" in one of my bands in '94-'95
Of course we played alot of obscurities, but people loved them, "Rock Queen - Love/Hate", "You're so Vain - Faster Pussycat remake", "She Loves My $#$% - Jackyl", "Whole Lotta Rosie - GnR Remake", and a few others, man those were the times.

Aldo Nova ? If you liked that song what did you think about Ball and Chain which to this day remains a favorite of mine.

AC DC. I know they had a ton of hits but aren't they really all the same basic song?

The only CD I have of theirs from the Brian Johnson years is "Back in Black." I have everything from the real frontman of AC/DC,Bon Scott. Next time you go to you tube, look up their songs "Sin City","Let There Be Rock", and "Jailbreak." Those videos are awesome.

I have to confess the only one I remember was " Let There Be Rock". Thet are very good songs with original sounds.

I have to say I'm a much bigger fan of the Brian Johnson years even though I don't find the music very original. I listen to AC/DC for the high intensity sound of songs like those of "Back in Black" and "Thunderstruck". Bon Scott fronting the band was better musically but the balls to the wall, hard charging songs with Johnson rev me up.

I was working part time in a five and dime.
My boss was Mr. Magee. He was six foot four and full of muscles and walked like an Egyptian but I was happy to be stuck with him. One manic Monday, while I was busy working for the weekend, I overheard him make a careless whisper. He told two of my co-workers, Jack and Diane, that I gave love a bad name.

Well, I got so emotional, baby. I told him to say say say what he wants, but don't play games with my affection. He told me it was hard for him to say he's sorry and not to worry, to be happy. Then he blamed it on the rain.

He was so out of touch. It just took my breath away. I couldn't fight this feeling any longer. I asked him "What's love got to do with it?". He told me to get outta his store and his dreams and into my car. So I figured I might as well jump. I cut footloose, went home and called my girl, Jenny. (You already know the number) She was on the other line with Amanda. They were talking about Mickey and how he was so fine. That blew my mind! Was she really going out with him? I told her that had just called to say I love her.


She told me she had been saving all her love for me, but now she was looking for a new love - asta la vista, baby. I thought "I can't go for that - no can do! Bring me a higher love!" I called up some of my old west end girls, hoping that one of them would want to get physical all night long (all night). First I called Billie Jean - she told me to beat it.

I called Rosanna - her sister Christian blessed the rains down in Africa and then hung up on me. Come on, Eileen! ... no answer. Nobody told me there'd be days like these! I was feeling like the owner of a lonely heart. Then, out of the blue, my best friend's girlfriend (she used to be mine) Roxanne calls.

Yes, the real Roxanne. She told me she still hadn't found what she's looking for and that she wanted to take on me. I said "I thought you were Jessie's girl." She said "Don't you want me? You don't have to put on the red light - I'm on my own." What a feeling! I had the eye of the tiger. Who was I f-f-f-foolin? Roxanne drove me crazy like no one else. She's a beauty! She blinded me with science, and weird science at that.

There was always something there to remind me of her and I just knew that I'd have the time of my life. I wasn't about to la-di-da-di. I jumped in my little red Corvette and rocked down to Electric Avenue. I got my mind set on her. When I got to her house (in the middle of her street) I ran. I rapped on her front door and to this rapper's delight, i heard a voice say "Who can it be now?"

"Here I am, the one that you love", I replied.

I let my love open the door and was immediately lost in her eyes. I felt like a virgin touched for the very first time.
She loosened her blouse and said "Rock me Amadeus!"

Well, I felt it was my prerogative to bust a move. I told her "I'll tumble for ya!" as I pinned her on the stairs, hungry like the wolf. Just then I felt an invisible touch on my shoulder.

"Turn around bright eyes!" said a familiar voice. As I did, Jessie hit me with a sledgehammer of an uppercut that spun me right round like a record.

He was hangin' tough and continued to roll with it, knocking the wind from beneath my wings - broken wings by this time. He rocked me tonight, for old time's sake, beating me from head to toe, until my true colors were black and blue and blood was spilling from my mouth like red, red wine. "You don't owe me money for nothing!" he snarled. At this point I was livin' on a prayer. I crawled back to my little red Corvette and drove home thinking about how my tainted love had cut like a knife - how it seems that every rose, truly, has its thorn.
No longer do I want to know what love is.

Love bites.

Reading those lyrics makes me want to ask this question.

In "She Shook Me " by AC/DC the lyrics go...She had me ? with those American thighs...What is the missing word?

She had sightless eyes,
Telling me no lies,
Knockin' me out with those American thighs,

Taking more than her share,
Had me fighting for air,
She told me to come, but I was already there

And you...Shook Me All Night Long......

Amazing I even know that much, as a drummer, I just sat back there and pounded as hard as I could, smiled at the chicks, and threw sticks at my bass player every time he'd lean on my ride cymbal.

Though the rest of the album was really good nothing else really made it into the radio play lists unless you were listening to college radio.

A bit off topic here, but speaking of songs that make you feel good everytime you hear them, anyone else like REM's "Shiny Happy People"?

I love it. It's going in now.

Too many to list here, but I read the whole thread and don't think I've seen ::

"Hot Smoke and Sassafrass" by Bubble Puppy, circa 1969/70

"Go For Soda" by Kim Mitchell, year unknown.

And for clarification, is a one-hit-wonder a band that only had one hit ?? I saw Grand Funk and Foghat mentioned,....

Sam the Sham had other hits with "Love Potion # 9" and "Lil Red Riding Hood"

Cliff Richard had top ten hits with "We Don't Talk Anymore," and "Dreaming" in the US... in the UK, he and Elvis are the only artists to chart in every decade, 1950s through 2000, and was the 1st Rock star ever Knighted.... before Sir Paul McCartney, and Sir Elton John....

I remember "Dead Skunk".....LOL... I'm still trying to figure out how it ever got to be a hit...
