#597 - Where Are They Now? One Hit Wonders of the 90s and 00s
4/20/202647 min
Bobby and Eddie take a trip through some of the biggest one-hit wonders of the ‘90s and 2000s and dig into what happened after the songs that made them famous. From Vanilla Ice and Chumbawamba to Lou Bega, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Blind Melon, Daniel Powter and more, they break down the stories behind the hits, the careers that followed, and why some artists never quite escaped that one song. Along the way, Bobby shares his own thoughts on playing music on the radio, whether being a one-hit wonder is actually better than grinding it out with a long career and puts Eddie to the test trying to guess the final band on the list. Plus, a random Hanson VHS makes an appearance.
