Bands that were trying for something more serious, not the Darkness. I mean, there were a few retro rock bands out there, but they were, you know, like Buckcherry and stuff like that. Whether you treated them as a novelty or not, you could still headbang to them totally sincerely. Because goofy or not, they had conviction. A lot of people thought their goofiness and irony made them incredibly obnoxious. Todd: Well, actually, quite a few people didn't like them at all. A goofy, retro-'80s metal band with kick-ass guitar and a leotard-wearing frontman with a bad case of British teeth and a falsetto into the stratosphere?! Who couldn't love them?! Todd (VO): They should be so much more than that.

Although I do concede that, to most of you, they are not. certainly more than one-hit wonders to me. The Darkness! In fact, it kind of pains me to be including this band in the show because they are. Todd (VO): Anyway, let me take you back to 2003-the single best year ever for music because I was 19, and music will never sound as good to me again. Todd: Just listen to the rhythm of my heart Justin: There's a chance we can make it now We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down Justin Hawkins: I believe in a thing called love Todd: Welcome back to One Hit Wonderland.yeah, yeah, yeah.

So for pretty much the rest of the year, One Hit Wonderland is gonna be requests.

Like, so quickly that I wound up honoring more requests than I originally intended. Anyway, it actually sold out, like, in four minutes. You know, just randomly, on a whim, just thought I'd sell some favors, no real reason.Ĭlip from The Top Ten Best Hit Songs of 2015 Todd: The IRS? Actually maybe I should answer to that.No! No! I don't give a fuck! I don't give a fuck! Todd: So, recently I decided to sell a few requests for One Hit Wonderland on Patreon again.
