Day 12: A one hit wonder song
this is such a great, catchy tune. I did download a few of their other songs, but none were as good as this one. A truly great pop song.

Oh man, the stories behind these guys and how they've had their entire ethos co-opted b/c of this one song is fascinating.

Day 10: A song that mentions a truck.
Obscure as fuck, for sure. But a great reminder that Cake is and was amazing.
Car after bus after car after truck
After this my lungs will be so fucked up
I wish I was in that Mercedes Benz
Sealed away from my sins
I'd have the music high going ninety five

Day 12: One Hit Wonders
How do you get a one hit wonder category covered with the Beatles? Here goes, Tommy Quickly was managed by Brian Epstein who also managed the Beatles. He was given ample opportunity and exposure to make it big, he toured with the Beatles, had a band built around him, and even had a song written for him by the Beatles. That song, Tip of My Tongue, flopped. So were his next three singles. Eventually his fifth single hit and spent 8 weeks in the Top 40. And that was it. He retired not long after this and never produced another hit.
Not too much of a stretch, but honestly most other people the Beatles wrote songs for were not at all one hit wonders.

I did grow up in the 70s/80s and I can honestly say I've never heard of that artist and I never heard that song before today.

My 80s college DJing days require me to dispute this selection. Not only does Berlin have more than one hit, I would opine that this isnt their best song (No More Words). Just all their music didn't make it into a Tom Cruise movie soundtrack.*
*there may be some leftover bitterness from you stealing my truck song that motivated me to point this out.

He may have had more but this is the only one I’ll ever remember.
No rickrolling here, going straight to the man.

Seriously? I thought for sure everyone had heard that one. The crowd I ran with played it like an anthem. It was on the local rock station constantly. My bad bro.. I really thought people everywhere was tortured by it just as much as I was

Day 11: A song that mentions a plane
It's buried in the step change at the end, when the music bed switches, and the whole tenor of the song goes from antagonistic to anguished before veering back again. I set the clip ahead to that part, first because it's a 5 minute song and second because some of the language is pretty problematic. Reminder, this album came out in 2002, less than a year after the attack on the World Trade Center.
With more pain inside of my brain, than the eyes of a little girl
Inside of a plane aimed at the World Trade
Standin' on Ronnie's grave, screamin' at the sky
'Til clouds gather; it's Clyde Mathers and Bonnie Jade
And that's pretty much the gist of it
Parents are pissed, but the kids love it
Nine millimeter heaters stashed in two-seaters with meat cleavers
I don't blame you, I wouldn't let Hailie listen to me neither
