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!

That's another beautiful car. You look great!
Many cars are made so ugly now a days. Nothing like they use to look like. When we were kids, we had an old 1960's ford white station wagon. I wish my parents kept it. I just loved that car.

Sweetie,
I personally think VH1 is full of it on that, but it was true that it wasn't considered "mainstream" at the time.
Loading up Just Ice for you!

The Freakazoid's a spaceship. LOL! That's how they advertised it on the website we spotted it on.
I agree with ya about new cars. They're generic blobs and all look too much alike. The new generation of auto designers obviously has no imagination.
Hubby still has the first car he owned; a '59 Ford. I wish he'd fix that car up to show, or just to drive. That's gonna take some $$$ though. It hasn't been touched in years but at least has been in a shed the whole time.
My parents had a '57 Buick station wagon that I wish they'd kept. That was a good ol' car and pretty, too. Two-tone blue.

I regret to say, however, that after this brutal New England Summer, I won't be moving south anytime in the future.

But as I have learned, these Florida kids seem to get enough holidays and breaks throughout the school year to merit them starting a month early.And the angels descend from heaven as the Hallelujah Chorus echoes loudly, as all shout in complete affirmation, "Amen!" :)
