What do you think is the cheesiest one hit wonder of the 90s? Let us know in the comments. For more content like this, click here: th-cam.com/play/PLmZTDWJGfRq0Myurxz6EubzD-PxmqIveH.html&si=fl9OmTZqY73Q6d5a
You're right! It's a total earworm. The summery acoustic guitar, the easy beat, the harmonies, the trumpet, the bit of accordion (synthed maybe?)...truly a sum that is bigger than its parts. Awesome tune that always puts me in a good mood. I can't not sing along.
1 ) Autotune has been out of fashion for years. 2 ) EVERY generation thinks their music was the best, and "today's music" is garbage. Nothing new there. If all of them were right, then the best music was from two cavemen bashing sticks together.
You did forget "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)" by Scatman John. I first heard that when I was in school and to this day, I still can't get enough of it.
I am not ashamed to say that I had Breakfast at Tiffany’s as a cassette single! I listened to this as I would get ready for work in the morning. Classic one hit wonder!
@@chrisrj9871 So, what happens if you are a guy looking for another guy, should it be The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert instead of Breakfast at Tiffany's? I'm only kidding, LOL......By the way, I just heard this song on satellite 90s on 9 yesterday
YES!! I would repeatedly rewind the song so that I could perfect the rapping portion! “Call me what cha like, as long as you call me, time and again” SO good!! 😎
My Dad played a waiter in the Breakfast at Tiffany's music video (at the end of the line at 1:44) - he had to go into the city really early for filming.
Couldn't agree more. I'd rather listen to what kids today call "old music" than listen to their excuse of music. I mean, to be fair, let them love their music and I won't intervene by indoctrinate them to like music of the past. But personally, I feel like music had suffered gradual death after 2000s.
There are no genres anymore outside of pop music for 13 year olds. And even that hasn’t evolved since 2004-2007,if you listen to the top songs from 2009 and the top ten from this year there would be almost no difference making recent music instantly sound dated.. The 90s-early 00s were the last time anything original and authentic happened. Thank God it’s all still there🤘
Here are just a few you missed. 1.) Wreckx-n-Effec,t Rump Shaker 2.) Divinyls, I Touch Myself 3.) Quad City DJs, C'mon N' Ride It (The Train) 4.) Freak Nasty, Da Dip 5.) Eagle Eye Cherry, Save Tonight 6.) Baz Luhrmann , Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) 7.) Billie Myers, Kiss the Rain
I think also Dinousaur Jr? I think that was the guys name. Everybody get up, get on the floor, everybody do the dinosaur or something? Also that one song by Sysco, that thong
@@edd868 you are thinking of Walk The Dinosaur by Was (Not Was) and that was 1987/88 (1989 in North America). Dinosaur Jr was an alt-rock band led by J Mascis. The other is called Thong Song by Sisqo
Divinyls may be rated a one hit wonder in US but are a Hall of Fame artist in Australia where they had many hits from 1981 to the mid 90s. Eagle-Eye Cherry is Swedish and had a couple of other top 40 hits there, including one in UK, France, Italy, and a few other countries Billie Myers had a follow-up UK top 40 hit.
Breakfast at Tiffany's isn't cheesy. It's classic. Deep Blue Something was a band that deserved better. And as for One of Us, when it was released the priest in my church played it during his sermon and used it to point out God already did that - came down to Earth and lived as one of us in the form of Jesus Christ - so he didn't get why there was so much opposition from so-called "religious" groups when it was reinforcing the message of the Bible. I still love it now.
local use: at a time, the Colorado rockies would use this as their song whenever somebody hit a homer. think even ad a run when Chuck Nasty, AKA Charlie Blackman did that.
I will never forget me and my mom dancing the Macarena in the 90s, I remember I was like five or something dancing to the song, it was so easy to remember the steps.
As a DJ for 34 years The Macarena gives me nitemares! I have heard that song every weekend since around 1990-ish Cannot remember the exact year it came out. It wasn't much later than the electric slide which is another one that I could do without if it was up to me. 🤣
I worked in Top 40 radio in the 90s, and played a lot of these songs. Skee-Lo was a super nice guy...and yeah, not that tall. I met Billy Ray Cyrus long after Achy Breaky Heart came out, and he was very chill. Brought the Bayside Boys (Macarena) onstage at a festival show, So many great dance records!
Oh it was always fun to have to hold your turntable down to prevent it from skipping when you got to a place with a wood floor and everyone is doing the same movements together. Going to CD was so nice. But I miss the turntables. Now everything fits in a laptop. Things have changed since I started djing in 1985.
no SNOW didnt write WHILE in jail, he wrote it BEFORE and made a video that was released for Informer WHILE he was in jail, i recently watched a video of snow telling that story.
I actually heard the band in an interview saw it’s actually about being drunk, lol. I have it in my playlist and think you can get inspiration from it too but the funniest part about it is that while we all derive inspiration from the song it was merely a song about drunkenness and being black out drunk.
I have made TH-cam playlists from every year in the 90s with a mix of music videos I saw on MTV as a kid and occasionally insert a Beavis and Butt-head reaction clip.
Back in December 1997 I was 12 my brother was 8. He looked like someone who was 5 or 6. We went to a Christmas party held by my dad’s company. The MC said it was time for the Macarena. If you don’t know how to dance it they will teach you. Start the music and my brother starts dancing it on this empty football field size dance floor. The EC said, just watch the little guy. Imagine if that happened today. My brother would be a viral sensation.
These aren't cheesy at all, I love most of them. Granted, I have an open mind and tried to give today's music an ear. Only a few of today's music strikes a chord, but the rest just sucks.
@AngelPhoenixR83 right! And you can't tell me something like Spacehog or Deep Blue Something is cheesy just because it may not land in the top 40 today...
Many of these were not one-hit wonders, either. They may have been the biggest hits from these artists, but Vanilla Ice, Mark Wahlberg, Sir Mix-A-Lot, and Billy Ray Cyrus had multiple albums with Top 10 hits in their respective genres.
@@michaeldoran4831 Also very US-centric One-Hit-Wonders, as Aqua and Vengaboys were pretty big in the 90's in Europe. I get that you need to draw a line somewhere, but it's not that hard to at least look at US, Canada and the UK to get a measurement.
tubthumping had several political messages in it. "he sings the songs that remind him of the better times" is a call back to nostalgia about how we always think things were better when we were younger. "danny boy" is considered to be an anti-war song nowadays. it is about a war hero returning to his small town/village after being away at war/battle. "dont cry for me next door neighbor" is a reference to "dont cry for me argentinia" which is also a political topic.
Good list. I have all of these on my iPod and listen to them regularly. “Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer should have be on here. That, Ice Ice Baby and Baby Got Back are the first hip-hop songs I memorized.

Ah, a trip through my childhood. Heard most of these on the radio. I remember the dance take over of the late 90's. Or maybe my mom just preferred dance music. Anywho i heard that knocked down song loads of times as well as that damned barbie song.
Im here just to listen to old bops because clearly i can never just trust their lists. Theres def some in here that arent cheesy. AND Achy breaky heart being so low on the list is CRAZY. It needs to be top 3 at least because it is cheesy on steroids.
@@COMPFUNK2 Vengaboys are Dutch, so a hit for them would be in Netherlands or any other major market. Ditto for Aqua and Denmark. In fact, both those bands were very successful and had multiple big hits in Europe, UK, Australia, etc .. It is ludicrous to class them with some American rapper or hiphopper who had one fluke hit.
FYI I just turned 39. Sure, the 90s had misses like any other decade, but a good number of these songs haven't aged a day. Maybe it's my nostalgia talking, but '90s to 2000s was peak pop music. Tubthumping, What Is Love, Mr. Vain, We Like to Party - pop music was "feel good" music, it used to be energizing. It's been downhill since the 2010s. I feel sorry for kids growing up today.
I was obsessed with Marky Mark (still with Walberg), so my Dad used to call them "Marky Mark and the Fruity Punch". I was also obsessed with Gerardo for a while. Most of these are still better than what we get now. I knew every word to most of the songs mentioned in this video. I can't say that about many songs put out today. I was jamming all through this.
A lot of these songs bring back memories. Ones that sticks out most are achy breaky heart and Macarena. I use to sing achy breaky heart on my parent karaoke machine and loved to dance to the Macarena.
I was 12 and taking dance lessons when Aqua’s album came out. At the dance school, it was all about the end-of-the-year performance. The teachers wouldn’t let us use Barbie Girl because of the hanky lanky reference, but throughout all the other classes (including mine), every other song on the album got used.
I turned 13 in 1990 . I dont know if its cuz i was a kid but it was the best decade for me in every possible way. Im sorry if you were too young or old , but it was perfect for me.

Most of these Songs are Cheesy, But they are still Good, & are Much Better than the 💩 that is Out there Today..
Y'all should make a video titled "most poorly named watch MOJO TH-cam videos" you know what I'm talking about.
You guys are wrong calling Aqua and Vengaboys One Hit Wonders. They had plenty of hits.
For the USA, maybe some are big, but half of them are just for you guys. Others have the " right" bangers
I am surprised "How Bizarre" from OMC is not on the list! It was a huge hit on the radio and over 20 years, I still get the song in my head!
You're right! It's a total earworm. The summery acoustic guitar, the easy beat, the harmonies, the trumpet, the bit of accordion (synthed maybe?)...truly a sum that is bigger than its parts. Awesome tune that always puts me in a good mood. I can't not sing along.
Agreed. The second I saw your link, the music started up in my head
This era is untouchable! Makes me think about the good times and the better times.
oh danny boy
In every genre! I love the 90’s.
Let's face it y'all these songs are still 100 times better then the auto tune music being put out today!
1 ) Autotune has been out of fashion for years.
2 ) EVERY generation thinks their music was the best, and "today's music" is garbage. Nothing new there. If all of them were right, then the best music was from two cavemen bashing sticks together.

Yes!
It sounds like he was actually a super sweet dude in person, too! All hail the Scatman. 🤘
I still listen to it 😂
Ya, I bet you really love scat...man.
WatchMojo, it doesn’t matter if these songs are cheesy, it’s still better than the crap the music industry has put out in the last few years.
Agreed. These so-called cheesy songs don't use autotune too, except for Eiffel 65's Blue
Not better than Taylor Swift though.
@@henghaubut it totally worked for them 😂
Real old person energy in this post

What even defines "cheesy" if that song is in the same boat as any weird-girl song from the 80s?

I get where you all were going with this video but all these songs are what made the 90s amazing, so many different styles and genres.
Return of the Mac still gets in my rotation. I was like 6 years old screaming “ you lieeeeedddddd to meeeeeeee”
I'm pretty sure I was a kid when it came out too lol. Plus it's been on the BK commercials and Lays potato chips.
I was like, this is cheesy? I still play this song!
That's what he says 😅 omg
Same! 👍😄
Same
The 90s were the best decade to grow up in as a kid/teen
I agree completely
98% of kids who grew up in the 90s agree!
Oh yah!!! I love the 80's too.
Mr. Vain is a dance classic. I love early 90s Eurodance so much.
YES!! I would repeatedly rewind the song so that I could perfect the rapping portion! “Call me what cha like, as long as you call me, time and again” SO good!! 😎
My Dad played a waiter in the Breakfast at Tiffany's music video (at the end of the line at 1:44) - he had to go into the city really early for filming.
That’s cool
That’s my all time favorite song! Tell him!
New music does not interest me. Im stuck in the 90's and early 2ks.
Yup, for the most part, but every other bloody full moon somebody does something okay.
Couldn't agree more. I'd rather listen to what kids today call "old music" than listen to their excuse of music.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s is my all time favorite song!
As a kid, one of my favorite songs was "Who Let the Dogs Out" by Baha Men. This song was all over the place and I'm surprised this one was missed.
I just made this playlist on Spotify and it is totally unhinged. I love it. There are no skips. Bops from beginning to end.
Please share
Please share
The entire Europop album is great. Bops from beginning to end
Never thought of "one of us" as a cheesey song!
Me either.
Gen-Z is messed up if they think this is cheesy.
What music does Gen-Z have that isn't cheesy, and is it worth it?
Relish is one of my favorite albums.... there is absolutely nothing "cheesy" about it.
That's what I'm saying, it pissed off a lot of the exact types that should have paid more attention.
It is not
The 90s were my teen years. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
I love every single one! I am truly a child of the 90s.
Informer slaps real hard, I love the song. I keep forgetting about it though until someone brings it up 😅
I don't know about anyone else, but whenever I hear "Rico Suave" playing,
I automatically start thinking about Weird Al's version "Taco Grande".😂
Easily my favorite Weird Al song. “Now the food is coming, I can hardly wait. Now watch your fingers, careful hot plate.”
17:49 don't forget the Vengabus also was playing when the Six Flags commercial came on with that old man dancing in the commercial
I was gonna say the same thing
local use: at a time, the Colorado rockies would use this as their song whenever somebody hit a homer. think even ad a run when Chuck Nasty, AKA Charlie Blackman did that.
believe me, no one's forgotten 😄
@@blind_t2 The Tri-City Americans hockey team also used it as their song when they'd score a goal.
Every song on this list is great. I remember them all as I graduated in 1994. What a great flashback! Thank you.
The music was so much better than today’s music.
13 of these songs are on my playlist LOL. Good times!
My older siblings were teens in the 90s, I remember them playing many of these songs. This era was so simple.
So were the 80’s. I was in university in the 90’s.
I don't always quote Joey Lawrence, but when I do, I think "Whoa....".😅
Yep, can still do my "whoa" impression.
Well Heavy Metal in the 80's and the music in the 90's and some of 2000's music will never be replaced.
I know majority of these songs! Mostly later 90s. I was born in 1985 and these songs defined my childhood and early teens.
I will never forget me and my mom dancing the Macarena in the 90s, I remember I was like five or something dancing to the song, it was so easy to remember the steps.

Spacehog rips, hearing it again in the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 trailer gave me goosebumps.
A lot of these songs are great and not cheesy at all
Loved ' Spacehog' . Still do. However, I never classed it as cheesy.
I listen to Mungo City all the time and In the Meantime.
As a Canadian, and a Vancouverite, it is very important not to "steal my sunshine" as we get so little of it.
We get less in SW Ontario in the winter. You’d swear you were in the Arctic it has been so dark recently
@@laurabailey1054 having had lived in NWT for years I was stunned how unbearably cold Quebec and Ontario get, but yeah the lack of sun is depressing!
Return of the Mack one hit wonder? Idc it’s awesome as hell
One hit wonder means that this song was the only hit by Mark Morrison. The narrator is telling us that it was a popular song in the 1990's.
Not in the UK. But since WatchMojo are Canadian they use the US charts and not the UK charts where Mark Morris on had a couple of other hits
Looks like it's so much fun being dope in 90's
Watching an entire dance floor of people dance to makarana in time together is a frightening sight,it also made the floor shake
Oh it was always fun to have to hold your turntable down to prevent it from skipping when you got to a place with a wood floor and everyone is doing the same movements together. Going to CD was so nice. But I miss the turntables. Now everything fits in a laptop. Things have changed since I started djing in 1985.

GREAT! Wow, that really brought back memories. Had some great times back then.
"What is love", coupled with "Night at the Roxbury", has forever been a resident in my mind.
So glad many of these didn't land in the UK. The bass line of Spacehog is awesome
I have made TH-cam playlists from every year in the 90s with a mix of music videos I saw on MTV as a kid and occasionally insert a Beavis and Butt-head reaction clip.

How about do a countdown of musicians that should've been one hit wonders...
Even though I was born in the early 90's, I appreciate the songs. It was a good beat and often it was the best thing to jam to.
Should trim this list down to 10. A lot weren't cheesy, just products of their time (and timeless because of it!)
Exactly! A lot of these songs are cheesy by today’s standards, but most of these songs were hits when they came out.

Ah, a trip through my childhood. Heard most of these on the radio. I remember the dance take over of the late 90's. Or maybe my mom just preferred dance music. Anywho i heard that knocked down song loads of times as well as that damned barbie song.
Great. Now I'm going to have to visit Todd in the Shadows again for each of these songs.
Im here just to listen to old bops because clearly i can never just trust their lists. Theres def some in here that arent cheesy. AND Achy breaky heart being so low on the list is CRAZY. It needs to be top 3 at least because it is cheesy on steroids.
I grew to hate that song!
A number of these bands are not 1 hit wonders! Aqua, Vengaboys! Hell even Haddaway had a few hits
Actually, only Aqua had a second hit: “Lollipop (Candyman)”.
My friend in the Uk goes to Vengaboy’s concerts all the time
@@COMPFUNK2Pretty sure “Turn back time” was a huge hit as part of the soundtrack to “Sliding Doors”
@@ianrangers Only a song that reached the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 is considered a hit.
@@COMPFUNK2 Vengaboys are Dutch, so a hit for them would be in Netherlands or any other major market. Ditto for Aqua and Denmark.
In fact, both those bands were very successful and had multiple big hits in Europe, UK, Australia, etc ..
It is ludicrous to class them with some American rapper or hiphopper who had one fluke hit.
what a walk down memory lane!
..tubthumping, one of the best that I still listen up to now...
FYI I just turned 39. Sure, the 90s had misses like any other decade, but a good number of these songs haven't aged a day.
Maybe it's my nostalgia talking, but '90s to 2000s was peak pop music. Tubthumping, What Is Love, Mr. Vain, We Like to Party - pop music was "feel good" music, it used to be energizing. It's been downhill since the 2010s. I feel sorry for kids growing up today.
Mr vain was my fav dance song in university in the 90s
I was obsessed with Marky Mark (still with Walberg), so my Dad used to call them "Marky Mark and the Fruity Punch". I was also obsessed with Gerardo for a while. Most of these are still better than what we get now. I knew every word to most of the songs mentioned in this video. I can't say that about many songs put out today. I was jamming all through this.
Because I have a similar name, I'm stuck making the Marky Mark joke when I meet people. Because If I don't, they goddamn will. Every. Fucking. Time.
90s music hit different we will never get it back
Working on that time machine y'all. I'll bring us all back home soon enough.
Can you drop me off in the 80’s?
@laurabailey1054 I'll do my best!
A lot of these songs bring back memories. Ones that sticks out most are achy breaky heart and Macarena. I use to sing achy breaky heart on my parent karaoke machine and loved to dance to the Macarena.
Return of the Mac is far from being cheesy
Completely agree. There is absolutely nothing corny or cheesy about Return of Mack. It's extremely well crafted with a sophisticated sound.
Return of the Mac and Cheese.
😂@@Kel_Varnsen
The title of the song is pretty damn cheesy
I think you have the wrong idea of what cheesy is...
Yeah nah, Spacehog is awesome and the bass line to In The Meantime is a banger.
Yep! Saw them live back then with Everclear! I completely forgot
I know I already commented, but how did U Can’t Touch This not make the list?
Because MC Hammer isn't a one hit wonder. Had 4 top 5 hits from one album.
LOVE most of these songs!!!
not Cotton Eye Joe...that song drove me insane
We need the top 20 dance songs of the 90's!! Keep the videos coming!!
Most of these are just fun. Fun is always good for the soul.
"Marcy Playground" as a name cracks me up because I was born about a half of a mile from Marcy Playground. The band are my homies.
I still bust the old dance moves when cotton eyed Joe and up note it’s like a anthem 😂
I was 12 and taking dance lessons when Aqua’s album came out. At the dance school, it was all about the end-of-the-year performance. The teachers wouldn’t let us use Barbie Girl because of the hanky lanky reference, but throughout all the other classes (including mine), every other song on the album got used.
Hanson single I will come to you was also a top ten hit in US. And it's also charted high in several countries. Why they are included on this list.
Because the person who made the list can't use Wikipedia 😂
Kris Kross is not a one hit wonder. They had three or four other top forty hits.
Watchmojo, you know you can look this stuff up, right?
I turned 13 in 1990 . I dont know if its cuz i was a kid but it was the best decade for me in every possible way. Im sorry if you were too young or old , but it was perfect for me.
Hey. I very much enjoyed. So much good music ❤
The 90’s were the best time for all genres in American music.
