Today is National One Hit Wonder Day. On September 25th, National One-Hit Wonder Day brings back memories while turning up the volume. We honor all the musical artists and chart-topping songs that make them memorable.
These songs make us sing whether we should or not. We know all the words even though we don’t know why. They’re the songs groups of friends will burst out in chorus together and make memories, too. Movie soundtracks love them. Wedding dances love them. We all love them!
The real kicker is, the artists or groups only made us swoon once. After that, they faded away. Some continued with moderate success. Others, however, were never heard of again, musically.
Listed below are just a few of the well-known one-hit wonders from days gone by.
1955 – “Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)” by The Penguins
1963 – “Six Days on the Road” by Dave Dudley
1968 – “Tip Toe Thru The Tulips” by Tiny Tim
1969 – “Smile a Little Smile for Me” by The Flying Machine
1970 – “One Tin Soldier” by The Original Caste
1970 – “The House of the Rising Sun” by Frijid Pink
1972 – “Hot Rod Lincoln” by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen
1983 – “Puttin’ on the Ritz” by Taco
1985 - “Take On Me” by Aha
Another warm, sunny fall day in Dallas today. Yesterday, I ended up having a plasma exchange. MS is attempting to rear its ugly head and its trying very hard to jack up my legs / walking. But I am fighting back. I am going back to the UT Southwestern Spa and Resort (hospital) Monday morning and Wednesday morning for a few more rounds of fresh, frozen plasma. That should get me back to my baseline. (fingers-crossed and some prayers too, please).
In other news, Hallmark Channel's "Countdown to Christmas" 2021 movie schedule is officially here and it will include 41 all-new, original holiday movies, including new installments of some of your favorite movie franchises. Set those DVRs now Allen Treadway and Sallie Ann Plaxico.
If you are not watching ‘Ted Lasso’ on Apple TV, you are missing out. It’s such a great show. If this weeks episode doesn’t make you shed a tear, well, you may be a robot. Admittedly, I only have one feeling and one nerve, but darned if it didn’t find them. After I put in a load of laundry, I think I will begin the Great British Baking Show.
What’s on your schedule today?
Anyhoozle, I hope you all have a wonderful day and whatever you do today and every day, do it with kindness in your heart. The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find one, be one! And as always:
...wear a mask
...be kind and compassionate to one another
...dance/sing/laugh it out. It might not help but it sure as hell couldn't hurt.
Peace, Love and Blessings to you all. -AJ
