One-hit Wonders Of The World

Behold, the episode that accidentally took us on hiatus! Three years in the making, we carry on into the underworld of My Chemical Romance, a glorious feature-length crossover event featuring Ben Pitt from Still Not Okay: A My Chemical Romance Fancast. The world will never take my podcast!

Kick back with a refreshing Coors Lite® and enjoy the newest OHWOW, all about Irish sisterly sensation The Corrs! We're talking Twitter beef, we're talking conspiracy theories, we're talking cultural innocence, it's all in here. Come on!

Grab your coffee and saxophones, because we're headed to Cameroon to explore the life, career, and impact of the original makossa man, Manu Dibango! We talk soccer, oppressive governments, Michael Jackson, and "mama-say mama-sa"-related income, all live from the airport.

On our first Family Night episode, Trevor's actual father joins us to discuss once very famous person Richard Harris, his musical co-conspirator Jimmy Webb, the dueling forces of passion and apathy, and the effect of precipitation on cakes. Oh no! You can watch a special video version of this episode by going to [ohwow.link/video](http://ohwow.link/video)!

The gods are crazy, the stars are blind, and OHWOW is back to mine into the lore of Paris Hilton's 2006 summer smash, with a little help from friend and listener Mary Schneider. Do you mind spending some time just hanging here with us?

On the second crossover episode of OHWOW, Duff Dixon from _Play It by Year_ joins us from Desolation Row/Margaritaville to discuss Nebraskan antiheroes Zager and Evans, and their baffling #1 hit, "In the Year 2525". If listeners can survive, they may find... our longest episode yet.

Put down that zine and sew your legs back on, cause we’re not sick but we’re not well! Harvey Danger is in the crosshairs on the first OHWOW recorded since The Big C, and the last before the (gulp) election. Who knew October surprises could drop on November 1st? Turn off time and kill your mind with us!

[whip cracking noise]

Come watch the stars play on a new episode of OHWOW, featuring the story of eternal teen Rivers Cuomo and his unkillable band, Weezer. Also, Rick Rubin shows up, and we play the first incarnation of our new game show, _What's Weird Al Gonna Do Next?_

How bizarre to see a new episode of OHWOW, about the New Zealand trailblazer OMC, no less! In this episode, we get back to our roots with the story of Pauly Fuemana and Alan Jansson's 1997 smash. Plus, we take LSD, get abducted by robots, and surmise our demises. If you're interested in the rest, please contact our lawyers about the rights.

A-HA! For our first two-hit wonder, Maxton ropes in one of his old bandmates, Nick Bottomley (aka Bears and You) from Christmas, Somewhere to nerd out over the perennial 80s juggernaut, a-ha's "Take on Me", and pay tribute to its forgotten sibling, "The Sun Always Shines on TV". Prepare to be taken.

It's all good news on the first ever crossover episode of One-Hit Wonders of the World. Dillon Flynn from Hallelujah Monkeyz stops into Maxton's hometown of Charleston, South Carolina with Trevor in tow to get us all drunk and take you deep into the cult of Gorillaz. Elevator going up.

We're back and more emotionally intelligent than ever. On our eighth episode, we dive deep into the legacy of Talking Heads spin-off group Tom Tom Club, sponsored by IQ points and intra-band animosity.

Wish granted. On our seventh episode, we present the tale of San Pedro Skee-Lo, brought to you by Maxton fucking up the names of Los Angeles-adjacent cities and Trevor Ikrath's Hip Hop Cinematic Universe.

Welcome to our feature-length sixth episode, where we're taking the deepest possible dive into one of the oldest pillars of rap music, Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight", with rapper Nory. You will never be the same.

On our fifth episode, we hang out with listeners, debunk popular myths, and answer every question you didn't know you had about "Who Let the Dogs Out" (except maybe the most obvious one). Featuring special guest Malcolm Wyley, aka producer suprchnk!

On our fourth episode, James Webster, Trevor's good friend and doppelgänger, drops by to offer his hot takes on New Radicals' turn-of-the-millennium anthem "You Get What You Give", and to learn about the saga of secret hit songwriter Gregg Alexander.

It's our third episode, and we're talking about the lost legacy of Tennessee singer Anita Ward, via her 1979 chart-topper, "Ring My Bell". We also discuss record label fuckery, fix our childhoods, and give out some neat awards.

On our second episode, rapper Nory joins us to discuss Blind Melon's "No Rain", and the precipitous legacy of their lead singer Shannon Hoon. Bring a poncho.

On our inaugural episode, Trevor and Maxton introduce you to the show and tackle the tumultuous tale of Norman Greenbaum's 1970 smash "Spirit in the Sky", arguably the quintessential one-hit wonder. Listen to the podcast that's the best (us).
