One Hit Wonders
(Voter Thread)
 

Welcome To The Canteen Music Dedication!!
In our continued effort to bring music themes that you want, we continue this week with our Canteen voted thread of One Hit Wonders!

This list was compiled from various sources. Some of you may disagree with an artist showing up in our One Hit Wonders list, but that's okay. We're not here to state that we are the authority on such matters. We're here to enjoy some music from popular artist (although, not popular for long) of their respective music eras.

There are many artists/songs that are considered One Hit Wonders. However, we don't have all day and night to list them. We've gotta sleep now and again! Hehehe!

We enjoy feedback. If you have requests, please ping laurenmarlowe on the thread or via FReepmail.

As always, we greatly appreciate the opportunity to entertain our Troops, Veterans, and their family members.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the Canteen, perfect stranger. Enjoy the music.

[laurenmarlowe]

LOL! I do remember that song! I'll play for you shortly!

[MoJo2001]

I was following the *action*. His sob story of a thread was really *choice*. It wasn't an apology, but it wasn't much else. I was thinking he needed some whiskey or perhaps, he needs to lay off of it for awhile.

I was laughing for awhile. You were being logical and thorough and he was being crass, ridiculous, and egotistical. What can one expect from his sort anyways?

*HUGS*
We got your back!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, zook, for dropping in for some music.

[NYTexan]

Well the sub-woofer just scared the dog out from under my desk with that one!

The Argent song is a true classic though! Great posts!

Thanks laurenmarlowe but I don't know about that being suitable for Ma and the kids. I use to run a bar in S. C. and that song and 60 minute man was the most popular beach music songs.

[laurenmarlowe]

Anytime! :o)

There were about sixteen FReepers parked on the two far corners opposite the entrance to Walter Reed opposite eleven (at their highest number) Code Pink-Os.

Strategically, we FReepers had better visibility to traffic traveling north and south along Georgia Avenue, and received far more honks from traffic.

The FReepers' Mother Of All Banners (MOAB) dwarfed anything and everything the Pink-Os possessed. And can be seen eaily from Walter Reed's Wards windows.

Where FReepers signs are more diverse, towards the Military and its Mission on one side. Slamming Code Pink on the opposite sides. All the Pink-Os have to offer is "Save Walter Reed" and grossly exaggerated, sadly scribbled numbers of soldiers and civilians killed on Poster/Construction paper. Sadly, their mindset has never left the 1960s. They want attention NOW! And as such, I guess three of those who showed tonight will not return next Friday.

Towards nine, we moved much as we did last Friday, to occupy three corners opposite the Pink-Os one. Seeing themselves outnumbered and Out General'ed, the Pink-Os wrapped up early, around 9:30. Lest they collectively got flipped off, again; by the busload of arriving wounded GIs arriving from Andrews AFB. Or ambulatory patient GI's who were allowed out on the town at Fran O'Brien's Steakhouse at 16th & K Street after a free steak dinner.

Jack.
