FoGs Greatest REAL One Hit Wonder

[Kol]

Thelma Houston - Don't Leave Me This Way 4 Vs 4 Daughtry - What About Now
Spacehog - In The Meantime 4 Vs 2 Shawn Mullins - Lullaby

Los Del Rio - Macarena 4 Vs 5 Blink 182 - All The Small Things
Jane Weidlin - Rush Hour 3 Vs 6 T-Rex - Get It On

Giving Thelma the nod, not my favourite rendition of this song but still pretty good and Daughtry have better songs that didnt chart.

I was going to say they were no loss until I saw the  video for the second song! What a funny bizarre video!   

I may not be around for some of the weekend including tonight. Suit yourself as regards Round 2.

If you like that, check out the Eurodance Countdown I did, that song was on there. Campness off the charts😂
