It's National One-Hit Wonder Day

Ahh, the beloved one-hit wonder -- that song which by most definitions comes from a band that placed one song in the Top40 and never had another song chart that high. The Colorado Sound - independent radio - is celebrating One-Hit Wonder Day, and I've heard some wonderful contributions so far, like "Walking On Sunshine" from Katrina and the Waves. Feel free to tune in online and enjoy some great music on a great independent public radio station.

One shout out went to "Come on Eileen" from Dexy's Midnight Runners, and that selection is a true OHW Hall of Fame pick, a true GOAT of the one-hit status. And, Ben from the Colorado Sound is asking listeners to respond online with their favorites. When it comes to music, I can never give just one favorite, so I listed my Top-3:

"Safety Dance" - Men Without Hats

"One Night in Bangkok" - Murray Head

"Rock Me Amadeus" - Falco *
