One-Hit-Wonder
A band or singer that everyone forgets about after their hit song runs its natural course into
obscurity, because they can never get back onto the charts again. Most one-hit-wonders are that way because either they can't write their own songs, or their own songs are crap.
Crossover songs and artists are sometimes mistaken for One-Hit-Wonders, because listeners outside their genre don't know who they are. Anyone unfortunate enough to make this mistake is likely to be taken to task by numerous members of the artist's following, because it takes quite a good artist to pull off a
crossover hit.

Term for a band/group that has one breakthrough hit that people remember after usually years of making underground music. They may try to luanch more chart-friendly songs on the back of their one song that will fail to have any impact. Will fade back into obscurity within a month only appearing for the odd television appearance.
The ultimate one hit wonder were Los
del rio who inspired a massively popular dance to go with their
catchy song; La
macarena!
Example:
Los
del rio were making music for over 20 years before La
macarena became a hit.
A la tuhuelpa legria macarena
Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena
A la tuhuelpa legria macarena
Eeeh, macarena
A-Hai!

1)a band that has had only (I shouldn't say only, since most bands never have a successful song) one song that was a commercial
sucess.
2)A song which was the only success of the band that played it.
3)A strain of marajuanna grow in Southern California (
San Diego's north county) which is so potent that one hit will get you more high than you have ever been before.

One good song that propels them to
stardom and then they SUCK. But the one song was
pretty good.
Still better than no-hit
wonders
