Saw them in a little club in Lubbock, TX around 1987.

After the second song, people started chanting “I Ran” “I Ran” “I Ran”.

The lead singer was like... “guys... we’ll play it. We have an hour and a half set. We had OTHER hits, you know”.

Poor guys. Truly not a one-hit-wonder, but no one knows that.

Nothing worse than hearing a band say, “But now, here’s something from our new album.”

That’s when folks decides it’s a good time for a bathroom break.

I remember once that I saw I think Journey in Dallas around 1979. The warm-up band was called Sweet and their one-hit wonder was called “Love is Like Oxygen.” They keep playing all of their other material and people were booing and yelling “play Love is Like Oxygen.” Finally, they played it as their last tune and the lead singer went on a long cussing tirade and smashed his guitar and left. Everyone began to cheer.
