Remembering: Top 10 'one-hit-wonders' of the decade

Page 6

It's the end of the 1990s and what better way to end the decade (not to mention the millenium and the century) than by looking back at our favorite 'one-hit-wonders' we used and abused and then later used their CDs as great ninja shooting stars. Don't laugh too hard, just remember you used to love these guys.

10) Kris Kross: only big hit - "Jump, Jump."

Their downfall: After endless tours and more boring albums, the duo just grew too old and couldn't 'jump' anymore. Let's just put it this way. If you came to school with your clothes on backwards, you were the biggest idiot in elementary.

9) Chumbawamba: "Tubthumping"

They came and went before we could even Tubthump.

8) Milli Vanilla: "Blame it on the Rain"

Blame it on those fake voices and dreads.

7) Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch: "Good Vibrations."

I was never feeling anything good from this bunch. That's probably what Marky Mark said when he ditched the group and became Dirk Diggler.

6) Snow: "Informer."

This guy was like the white Jamaican rapper.

5) Tone Loc: "Wild Thang."

What a career. Tone Loc had the biggest hip hop hit in the world and then he went on to pursue a "successful" acting career. Anyone watch Ace Ventura?

4) The New Kids On The Block: "Hangin' Tough."

They had everything: money, fame, and 14-year-old girls. Don't you wish you were a New Kid On The Block?

3) Vanilla Ice: "Ice, Ice Baby."

Think of it this way, if rap mogul Suge Knight hadn't threatened Vanilla's life over a balcony in a hotel skyscraper, we may have never had such artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, or 2 Pac.

Thanks for the hit Vanilla, your contribution to the hip hop world will always be remembered.

2) M.C. Hammer: "You Can't Touch This."

Does M.C. Hammer strike a shocking resemblance to Puff Daddy, or what? Nuff said.

1) Right Said Fred: "I'm Too Sexy."

This guy wasn't sexy, he was filthy, too filthy for his shirt, too filthy for his car, too filthy for anything, you know what I mean? He came and went faster than any one-hit-wonder of the century. He was only here for about two months.

Congratulations Fred, you're the Number 1 one-hit-wonder of the decade.
