It Was On Sale (original)
My friend from High School Mac and his brothers; Steve and Danny, along with their Cousin Dave from Memphis, used to get together once a year at Danny's studio in Clearwater, FL to do some original stuff. This one, written by Steve (and a friend ), features Danny on lead vocals. This song is just pure fun!! It shoulda been a hit! Check it out, it's very cool! I think its an Awesome Song and Video and I think it should be a HIT!
Best of the 2000s One-Hit Wonders
They came, they conquered... they were never heard from again. After reaching the Hot 100's Top 10 with their very first singles, none of these acts managed to crack the Top 25 for the rest of the decade. But hey, four minutes of fame is better than nothing.
