Here's a collection of the greatest One Hit Wonders out there: http://www.onehitwondercentral.com/index.cfm

http://rlv.zcache.com/funny_computer_geek_cartoon_poster-p228335090440052447t5ta_400.jpg

THE RULES

~~Entry URLs to be posted onto this thread from the Amiright site

~~Entries must conform to both the topic and genre specifications...if in doubt, ask.

~~On the 19th October, entries close and voting begins.

~~Vote by replying to voting thread with your five favorites in order:  
Top choice gets 5 points, next gets 4 points and so on to 1 point for your fifth favourite.

~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.

~~Voting continues until the 2nd of November, 2009.

~~By entering, you are agreeing to read and comment on all the other entries and vote.

~~Anyone who enters but does not both comment on all entries and vote by the deadline is disqualified and may not participate in the next event.

~~If you miss a submission deadline, you will not be entered in that event, but WILL be allowed to enter the next event.
However, there will STILL be an expectation that you comment and vote in the event you are not participating in, unless you have a valid reason for not being able to.

~Rule changes may be suggested by any participant in their entry post.  Changes are made only when a majority of that event's voters specify a "yes" vote along with their contest votes.

SCORING: Unlike PAOTY, scores for each Decathlon event are not cumulative. The winner of each event gets 9 Decathlon points, 2nd gets 8 and so on. This should make the contest very close throughout the next 20 weeks.
A Leaderboard will be posted after the first event

HAVE FUN!!!!!!

Wait a sec, hasn't Silver Power already done this sort of parody with "Never Gonna Trick You Up (The Rickroll Song)"? If that's the case, he'll do excellently if he decides to enter. Mine'll probably be on the Laser Collection videos on YouTube, but that's pending.

Initial idea was making a song about electric instruments killing traditional instruments in 80's songs using the ultimate 80's one hit wonder song.  Have to see if it will work as soon as I finish my rap song... stupid rap song.

I'm thinking of doing 'Mambo No. 5", but how I'd fit the topic into that, I'll never know. I'll think of somethin'...

MUDKIPZ! AWESOME!!! When I get 100 posts, I'll karamel you just for that. Be sure to include Shoop Da Whoop, You Are A Pirate, and other memes. And Over 9000.

I didn't have You Are A Pirate (as I haven't heard of it, so I wouldn't know how to incorporate it into the song), but I did have the other two, along with a crapload of others. Should be up tomorrow!

Holy crap, you remember that contest? I sure did until you brought it up. Just be careful, that song's an absolute bee-yotch to parody (I speak from experience, as you pointed out).

Good point, good point. I think that I will indeed enter "Never Gonna Trick You Up (The Rick Roll Song)" parody of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up".
http://amiright.com/parody/80s/rickastley21.shtml

And how good I do does really depend on how good everyone else does, as with all competitions! This is really strange that the criteria for this competition perfectly matched the criteria of one of the only 20 parodies that I've written. I'll take it, tho.

Daniel Powter is a one hit wonder himself, sadly being bad at being a homosexual isn't exactly technology...  ;)

I really want to do a parody about my hatred of this guy... But I might also do a parody of "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" about the "Blue Screen of Death"

Subject: Re: Decathlon Round Part 3?!?!?! (Round 3) [10/19/09]

Written By: ThaConqueror on 10/07/09 at 6:21 am

Or you could parody Blue into being about your hatred for that sodding Clippy. Sample chorus:

Oh, Clippy you get on my nerves
Yes, you get on my nerves
Man, you get on my nerves
Damn, you get on my nerves
Can't you lay off my nerves?
Please get off of my nerves
Clippy gets on my nerves


Any thoughts?

Is "Through the Fire and Flames" by DragonForce a 1-hit wonder? If so, I'll do "Through the Virals and Memes"!

Hmmmm... I honestly don't know, that's the song that they're most famous for but I'm not sure if that would be a one hit wonder...

Written By: DJ Blaze on 10/17/09 at 7:33 pm

Wait a minute.... I feel so dumb now!!! I already had something eligible I think! Quick question: is "You Are A Pirate" from the show LazyTown a one-hit wonder? I'd say so, since the other songs from that show are little-known, and Pirate sparked an internet meme. Here's my parody: You Are A (MP3) Pirate! http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/lazytown2.shtml Here's the OS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLsJyfN0ICU

OS: 'OK Go'. Definitely a one-hit

Theme: My never-ending struggle to give up video games.

http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/okgo2.shtml

I'm not sure if that counts as 'internet and technology' because it's not really about technology, but rather a struggle to not use a gaming system, which is a kind of technology. Whatever let me know. Or don't, and then don't vote for me.

I have another that will post tomorrow or Monday to 'Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm' by Crash Test Dummies, but it kinda sucks, so I hope I don't have to use that one.

Damn... Ran out of time myself on this one! Shoot!

But that's okay because Arwen and Medemia also didn't make it in time so I'll extend it until Thursday which would give us a few more days of parody writing time.
Everybody must just be as busy as I am... Damn.

Ah...Matty.  I just ran over here to beg for mercy and swear that I'm working on mine and hope to submit it tonight.  You're a champ.  I STILL hope to have it done tonight..but you know..breathing room is always nice.
