Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted March 26, 2003 I've always thought that The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony is one pretty bitchin' tune. Son of a bitch. How come I didn't remember that one? I should, I Kazaa'd it like a week ago. GREAT SONG...but the band got NO money from it cause they sampled the musical piece that plays in the background, that the evil Alan Kline owned, without his concent...he took it all from them.

Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted March 26, 2003 I don't know alot about Kyle, but besides "Can't get you out of my head" as she had any other hits in the U.S. since that song. I know she had a hit song in the late 80's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted March 26, 2003 Yes, "Love at First Sight" received considerable airplay on radio and MTV and VH1, as well as a nomination for Best Dance Recording at the Grammys. I'm still pissed off that America just IGNORED "In Your Eyes" and went straight to "Love at First Sight." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know she had a hit song in the late 80's. Yeah, "Locomotion". I guess that makes her a 2-hit wonder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest starvenger Report post Posted March 26, 2003 I'm still pissed off that America just IGNORED "In Your Eyes" and went straight to "Love at First Sight." OK, but are you really all that surprised? Frankly I wouldn't be surprised to see "In Your Eyes" debut as a "new" song this year. btw, I seem to enjoy the "Can't Get Blue Monday Out Of My Head" remix better than the original. Go figure...

Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted March 26, 2003 Holy God, it's still fucking bizarre that the US chart has only seen Kylie about twice. If you count the rest of the world she's been huge pretty much all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted March 27, 2003 Digital Underground did have other hits such as 1 Same Song, from Nothing but Trouble soundtrack 2 Nose Job, well it did have a video and there is a 2Pac song but I can't think of the name now. I think "Same Song" was 2Pac's big cameo. I'll have to go back and check, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest swan Report post Posted March 27, 2003 No. I'm pretty sure it's the symphony piece that's playing in the background. I heard it on VH1 a couple years ago, story on one-hit wonders. Ckeck this out: "Finally, in early 1997, McCabe came back to the fold, and as a quintet they recorded Urban Hymns, their breakthrough LP. Heralded by the smash "Bittersweet Symphony" — a single built around a looped sample of a symphonic recording of the Rolling Stones' "The Last Time" — Urban Hymns launched the Verve among the U.K.'s most popular bands; still, even at their peak, the curse of their past lingered on, as legal hassles awarded 100 percent of the song's publishing rights to ABKCO Music, which controls the Stones' back catalog."

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted March 27, 2003 Actually...the Verve was allowed the first 100 pounds (English currency) of sales from the record. Alan Kline is music's biggest criminal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2004 I still get a kick out of the Grateful Dead being billed as a 'one hit wonder'. It is true, they only had one hit ('Touch of Grey' in the mid-80s). Yet even this year they were still selling 20-40,000 tickets for every show, and everyone knew every lyric to every song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest krazykat72 Report post Posted November 3, 2004 "Tempted" by Squeeze (since I don't remember if Squeeze had anything close to "Tempted"'s success.) "The Way" by Fastball. Squeeze had a buch of songs that were somewhat popular(besides Tempted), most notably "Black Coffee in bed", "Pulling Mussels From a Shell", "Another Nail For My heart", and "Hourglass". I've been a big fan for a long time, having seen them or Glenn Tilbrook(lead singer) solo eight times (6 in the last 2 years). Fastball had that modest hit "Out of my Head" in addition to "The Way" -Paul Jacobi- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
