- Smashing hits bring fame and money overnight, but what happens when it’s your sole legacy? From soulful ballads to surf rock anthems, here are the top 15 cheesiest hits of the swinging ’60s that left their artists forever chasing the glory.
You know what would make this video even better? Playing the songs that you mention
AMEN!
Copyright
That is why I watched, to hear the music.
ABSOLUTELY 💯
If the songs were included then the video would be taken down and none of us would have been able to watch this. When I watch videos like this, I keep my phone handy with Spotify on, then each song that is talked about I just pull that song up by that specific artist and listen to the song that way. It's easy and it keeps these videos from being shut down by copyright strikes.
None of these songs are cheesy. Cheesy would imply that the songs are poorly-done, which is definitely not the case with any of these.
don't undettstand what's cheesy?
Cheesy is slang for cheap and poorly made, implying that the songs stank like spoiled cheese. None of the songs in this video deserved that description.
@@emmitstewart1921 Without them, none of today's music could have been written. Even if you only deleted 3 of them.
Pipeline was the first 45 record that i bought in 1963 as an eighth grader. Do You Love Me got its REAL second chance when it was COVERED by the Beatles.
KQRS in Minneapolis used to play the full version of Indigatta Da Vitta only once a month, midnight on a full moon.
25:27 Doris Troy went on to have a career as a session singer in the UK, with her voice featured on Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" LP.
Iron Butterfly’s Metamorphosis was an underrated masterpiece. They were known back then for In A Gadda Da Vida which was criticized for ripping off a riff from Cream’s Sunshine Of Your Love . That was false in that everyone was using the pentatonic back then and Iron Butterfly was a better band than given credit for
Using the catch term, "cheesiest" a bit too loosely. Kind of borders on clickbait.
One requirement for being in a rock band in 1969; you had to play Wipe Out and the solo from Louie Louie. Drummers , you guessed it, the drum solos . Yes, I'm that old. Bought 15 dollar ounces in the Village for 15 bucks, and then a show at the Filmore East. All of which were great. The GOOOOOD old days. People today have no idea how much better it was back then. 98% of young people nowadays, along with being brain dead, were born with cell phones attached to their foreheads and heads full of sh*t and rubbish.
Got that right!
Thank you for reminding of 'Hey Baby'.I'm puttting in my playlist.
I loved smile a little smile for me in Junior High school.
IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA IS BY NO MEANS CHEESY
Purely iconic.
Love that song!!
Nice, but way did you show The Beach Boys when referring to the Chantays?
click bait. never reward it.
That was the moment I stopped watching.
Waste of time without music clips.
if everyone gave a thumbs down we might not see him again! God knows we won't hear em.
Why are they cheesy ? and what exactly is cheesy 😂😂
Anything appealing to a less sophisticated ear or taste.
I agree, play the dang songs!!!
I think these are interesting anecdotes about the rock era of the time. There are hundreds of one-hit wonders, but I think calling this music 'cheesy' is misguided.
Swing... and a miss. All you needed was a snippet of the song to refresh people's memories and they would remember the song and stick around for the details. I dropped out adter the second song... that was right on the tip of my tongue.
This video sucks. There's nowhere in the video. Do you get to hear any of the artist music, maybe a sliver here and there, and that's about it.
The Iron Butterfly does not belong on this list! 🎸
I agree and I don't actually like Iron Butterfly. Just because I don't like a musical style does NOT mean they are not great musicians.
IRON BUTTER FLY has 5 great albums! 👍🎸
In the UK "Spirit in the Sky" holds the unique distinction of being a "One Hit Wonder" for three separate artists, hitting No1 in the Charts for Norman Greenbaum, then in the 80's for Doctor & The Medics and, finally, in the early 00's Gareth Gates and the Kumars took it to No1 - whilst Gates would have other hits, this was a one-off collaboration with the Kumars who were the cast members of a BBC spoof chat-show.
ARE U KIDDING ME,? GOTTA LISTEN TO THE BOZO AN NOT HEAR THE SONG? HOW BOUT GETTING KNOCKED OUT AN "WONDER" what happened?
They show pucs of the Chantays...but one was of the Beach Boys
Nothing screams HIGH SCHOOL PEP BAND louder then WIPE OUT 😮
At least play a clip of the song! I know what HEY BABY sounds like but what about the 13 thousand people who dont????
the tornadoes "Telstar"?
One of the bands I used to play with use that song to go into brakes with. Meaning the song pipeline!
What load of Charlie Romeo Alpha Papa..!
You failed!! None of your songs talked about are played, dammit.

Why did you show a picture of The Beach Boys when you were talking about The Chantays?
Also, The Archies were not a 1-hit wonder...they also had "Bang-Shang-A-Lang" and "Jingle Jangle" which were hit songs and had plenty of radio airplay.
I loved Hey a y by rice Channel
Pipeline with a pic of The Beach Boys?
yeh wth ??
Linda Ronstadt did a great cover of this.
The Twist and the Mashed Potato are DANCES, not MOVIES!! Somebody please tell Robbie Robot….
He would have to pay royalties.
Just started watching this. How are The Animals a one hit wonder?
Icon Icon icon iconic icon
The Archies had 4 top 40 hits. Not one hit wonders.
I don’t think cheesy applies to any of these songs. I don’t think you know what cheesy means.
N-a-a-a-a-a-h-h-h, Monster Mash IS cheesy.
@@guyfaux3978The record-buying public didn’t think so. Bobby “Boris” Pickett laughed all the way to the bank with Monster Mash 😁 💵
@@Spooky1862 I never said it wasn't popular, I said it was cheesy... ;-)
😂 You make a point!
Once I realized samples of the songs mentioned were not going to be played, I quit watching after a few minutes.
How can an instrumental be cheezy? If one is, then aren't they all and equally so? How to distinguish the cheesed from the un- ?
During you talking about t chantays u showed a pic of t beach boys
Stopped watching after "Pipeline" where you say at least five incredibly praiseworthy things about the song, yet the video is "Top 15 Cheesiest."
3:00 What the hell's a "Chantay" anyhow?
When you showed pictures during "Pipeline" you showed the Beach Boys. You were talking about the Chantays. Should we believe any of this?? I haven't seen the entire video. I hope the rest of it is better. I grew up during the 60's and know the songs.
Someone get the ai bots a new thesaurus!
Couldent get the rights, huh
The cheesiest video on you tube… with a headache bonus from lack of music
Lost me, wanted to hear some music.
i didn't hear the songs at leastb part of it.
The bullshit just keeps on comin', don't it?
Sorry, but the presentation is very poor.
Iron Butterfly was crap
You should do your homework before you post garbage ❤
This list is total bulls*it
Don’t waste your time. Nothing to hear here.
