Is Cotton Eyed Joe by Rednex one of the worst songs of all time?
To be clear, I'm only talking about this version. That said, just listen to this shit. Fucking horrible.

"Three Marlenas" is a song by American rock band The Wallflowers. It was released in October 1997 as the fourth and final single from their second album, Bringing Down the Horse. It peaked at number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart and number 13 on Canada's RPM Top Singles chart.
"6th Avenue Heartache" is a song by the American rock band The Wallflowers. It was released in April 1996 as the lead single from their 1996 sophomore album Bringing Down the Horse. The song became their first hit, peaking at number 8 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, number 10 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and number 33 on the US Hot 100 Airplay chart.
Guess it depends on your qualifications for a hit.

Wish to god i could go back.
Yeah, how is a one hit wonder going to be qualified here? Radio play? Requests? Single or album sales? Digital purchases, streams? Illegal downloads? What about location? Do we only pay attention to one chart? A lot of acts that get dubbed hit wonders need to have a bunch of astrix next to them.
i tend to enjoy one hit wonders. i cant really think of too many bad ones outside of some novelty or comedy songs.
Nearly all one hit wonders have a bunch of songs, often multiple albums. But only one single ever got anywhere worthwhile in the charts.
Anyway, here is a one hit wonder, which happens to be a song about a one hit wonder.

This was a big indie/college radio song in NZ in the mid/late 90's, but the artist committed suicide after one EP, so that was it.
i've been listening to his music again and it's pretty good.
kind of a shame that he's only known for somebody that i used to know. it's a good song! but he also made other music that's pretty good too. never checked out his band 'the basics' though (from which 'gotye' is apparently the solo stuff he did outside of it).
I dunno. They had a strong enough late career. It just picked up again after indie rock videos stopped getting played on TV.
One of my top top favorite songs of the 90's I cannot overstate my love for it . The song "Sweet Disposition" was a 1HW too ya? I'll add that

You hear the other two at super markets and whatnot.
Here you go:
A little anecdote. In the 90s I somehow ended up with tickets to a concert cruise with Harvey Danger and Fastball (a much better band). Even though they were in the height of their brief success, the lead singer refused to sing the only song anyone was there to hear. It was either a roadie or someone they pulled out of the audience.
It was pretty clear even in that moment, that they were not going to last.
I searched for chart info on this song and couldn't find a thing, so I dont even know if it counts as a 'Hit' but I still sing 'Girl!' by Pepe Deluxe weekly if not daily
Does this qualify when Edwyn Collins wrote one of the greatest pop songs of the 80s?
I'm sorry everyone.

I unironically love that song, and that kind of music. She had a few more hits though, but 'Saturday Night' is the one she'll be remembered for.
Anyway.
