Is Tubthumping by Chumbawamba the best 1 hit wonder song of the 90s?

[Smokeymicpot]

This is the guidelines of this thread. The song must still be played at by cover bands, must still be played at crowded bars. It cannot be a theme song. This is not based on musically good just based on best meaning most popular today.

They can not have another song that hit the charts.

yes

 

[Fat4all]

its no Walkin' On The Sun by smash mouth

 

[Yamajian]

Breakfast at Tiffany's - Deep Blue Something
Unsung - Helmet

The 90s is full of great 1 hit wonders, but It's How Bizarre by OMC.

Too many people in this thread naming songs without posting a link, and also posting bands which ARE NOT ONE HIT WONDERS 👿

[El Bombastico]

Not even in the top 5, and I say that as someone who loves that song.

 

[ResetEraIsTheBestEra]

Hard to tell really the 90's had too many 1 hit wonders, I guess it would depend on your mood

For example i feel like right now What Is Love is the GOAT song

Honorable mentions

I'm Too Sexy
Informer
Mr. Vain
What's Up?

Whoomp there it is!

 

[scitek]

I always feel bad when people say Chumbawamba was a one-hit wonder when that one hit came from their 7th 8th album.

Yeah I was going to say. When I think of Smash Mouth, All Star definitely comes to mind before Walkin' On The Sun, at least for me lol. Seemed like they had at least a few hits, but I could be wrong.

 

[scitek]

What about "No Rain"? I still hear it all the time.

I wouldn't say blind melon was a one hit wonder, I think they would have been massive if Shannon Hoon didn't tragically pass away.

[guiloahhhhh]

We had a 90's one hit wonder thread a long time ago that was fucking 10 pages. It was the decade of one hit wonders. Fuck that and Bittersweet Symphony are up there.

Sex and Candy is up there. Closing time probably rounds out that final 4. Actually make it 5 Two Princes has to be included

 

[hordak]

everyone bow down to the best 90s song evar . I use do it at karaoke all the time. No one ever does No Rain or Two Princesses or that other crappy songs :P

 

[Conciliator]

Nah, it's Steal My Sunshine. Tubthumping is fun but I'm not sure it even belongs in like, the top 20

Yeah they had a long career and many great songs. Also it's probably one of the most misunderstood songs of all time.

This band had a bunch of good songs. I loved this album. But for nostalgia's sake:
