The "Greatest One Hit Wonder" Tournament

[Pauly]

would it be a possible to create a survey where everyone could select 10-20 and then the top 64 make it to the brackets? Instant seeding too. Probably too much work.

Some 90s ones I don't see yet:


"Baby Got Back" — Sir Mix-A-Lot (1992)
"Closing Time" — Semisonic (1998)
"Whoomp! (There It Is)" — Tag Team (1993)
"I'll Be There For You" — The Rembrandts (1995)

OK there are 225 songs that were nominated as far as I can tell (including Sour Mashers). I think there is a way for me to upload them easily into Google Forms. Trying now.

[Pauly]

OK guys...check this out - what do you think?

The only thing I cant figure out is how to limit it to only 20. Honor system I guess. We can also change that number of course.

Whoa Pauly, awesome!

Let’s go with 25. I couldn’t help myself :shrug:.

I’d add one more I just thought of, but I think adding it would reset the votes so forget if. Bell & James: “Livin it Up (Friday Night)” from 1979.

OK I can add it and change to 25, on the honor system. You can also answer as many times as you want (also honor system), unless I require a signup, which is too much rigmarole

In doing this exercise, I discovered that many of these one hit wonders were concentrated into 2-year blocs:
-1969-1970
-1974-1975
-1979-1980
-1982-1983
-1984-1985
-1991-1992
-1997-1998
....with the greatest concentration in 1970, 1974, 1979, 1983 and 1998.

[Pauly]

OK so here's the final form. Pick 25. Only do it once. I guess we can keep it open all weekend

That was a tough 25 to pick. Lots of good ones.
