September 25th is National One-Hit Wonder Day…so here’s a walk down memory lane with twenty-five years of alternative “one-hitters.”  Presented in video form, listed chronologically over a twenty-five year period…one song selected per year.

As with most lists, I’m sure this one won’t be without controversy (sarcasm)…for instance, a lot of the latter entries are still making music.  So, fight me. 💪  Feel free to jump on Facebook or Twitter to share your thoughts, complaints, and suggestions (and post in music video form, so the entire class can enjoy).  — [eric]
