Crash Test Dummies - Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

It peaked at #7 on the same charts, and the video was played extensively on MTV. Sadly, those were the only top 20 hits they had. Enjoy!

Sister Hazel - All For You

Sister Hazel is by no means a "One-Hit Wonder" to me, but as far as the charts go, they unfortunately are. All For You was their first single released from their second album called ...Somewhere More Familiar in 1997, and the song peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and went to #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. If you ever get an opportunity to see these guys live, go see them. I've seen them many times, and they are fantastic live. Enjoy!

Devo - Whip It

Whip It was Devo's biggest hit in the US. It peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1980. The song was more popular for it's video than the actual song.

In an interview for Song Facts, vocalist Gerald Casale explains the origin of the song, "There was a feature article in Dude magazine on a guy who had been an actor and fell on hard times, he wasn't getting parts anymore. He moved with his wife to Arizona, opened a dude ranch and charged people money to come hang out at the ranch. Every day at noon in the corral, for entertainment, he'd whip his wife's clothes off with a 12-foot bullwhip.

She sewed the costumes and put them together with Velcro. The story was in the magazine about how good he was and how he never hurt her. We had such a big laugh about it, we said, 'OK, that's the basis for the video. We'll have these cowboys drinking beer and cheering Mark on as he's in the barnyard whipping this pioneer woman's clothes off while the band plays in the corral.'" Enjoy!

Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians - What I Am

This song reminds me of my freshman year in college. It was completely different from any other song on the radio back in 1988, and it was a top ten Billboard single. Edie married Paul Simon back in 1992, and they've been happily married ever since. This was her only big hit as a singer. Enjoy!

Blind Melon's video for No Rain is probably one of the most memorable videos of all-time. Everybody remembers the bumblebee girl.

It went to #1 on both the Billboard Mainstream and Modern Rock charts in 1992. Enjoy!
