Hmmm, not sure about that one. Katrina and the Waves and two other top 25 hits in the UK and US and another song that was top 50.

I disagree. As Maple Leafs said. to find a hit for both the original and the cover is not easy. I had originally seen 5 or 6 and Hurt wasn't among them. I don't think I had heard that one.

Classic - 8.3 - "A Change is Gonna Come", Sam Cooke
Epic - 6.3 - "Space Oddity", David Bowie
Arena - 5.8 - "You Shook Me All Night Long", AC/DC
Trendsetter - 2.3 - "Rapper's Delight", The Sugarhill Gang
Love Song - 7.8 - "Unforgettable" - Natalie Cole with Nat King Cole
One-Hit Wonder - 9.8 - "Mickey", Toni Basil
Party - 4.3 - "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)", Beastie Boys
Crossover - 1.8 - "Walk This Way", Run-D.M.C. feat. Aerosmith
Cover -
Anti-Establishment - 3.8 - "Killing in the Name", Rage Against the Machine

When ihear that one Ithink of Weird Al's version.

Wow, they had a Top 20 in '89. Never heard of it.

I'm not real concerned about their UK charting, or winning Eurovision either.

I'd be open for a ruling here.

It is what it is. The voting will be the ruling.

(I wouldn't worry about international success either)

ntndeacon · 02-24-2007, 03:07 PM

To me one hit wonder is an American hit.

No ruling needed... you could call "Hey Jude" a one-hit wonder if you wanted to. The voters can decide what they think fits.

ntndeacon · 02-24-2007, 03:08 PM

I think it is appropriate as well. I don't remember them charting a second song.

I was surprised it hadn't gone earlier because they do "epic" songs polls, that's usually up there with Stariway or Bohemian.

I originally thought of two other songs but they belonged in the Classic category better and I have already gotten in trouble for busting categories.

Nothing wrong with putting a classic in another category.

That's a very flexible category, unlike Love Song.

The only reason I took American Pie over 2112 was because I think more people will recognize it.

Oilers9911 · 02-24-2007, 04:20 PM

Crossover - Ode to Billie Joe - Bobbie Gentry (10.2)

wade moore · 02-24-2007, 04:33 PM

I agree on the one-hit wonders.. there shouldn't be a "ruling", but the voters shouldn't punish Maple Leafs mercilessly...

Lee Greenwood is FAR from a one hit wonder and I'd be surprised if people don't recognize that.. imo it is the most clear category and he's just not even close.

Oilers9911 · 02-24-2007, 04:36 PM

A guy I am a fan of that just didn't make the draft.

Epic is a cover?

lordscarlet · 02-24-2007, 04:43 PM

First we'll start with a small anecdote. I realized after my last pick that I should've thought ahead. I picked my One-Hit Wonder and stepped away from the computer. About 20 minutes later I realized the huge mistake I made. Both of the people picking (4 picks, 2 teams) before my next pick already had a One-Hit Wonder. By definition, there's no way they block me on that one. I then sweat for the next hour or so to see if I got blocked on my Cover Song. We'll now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

I hope this pleases the people that seem to be putting a lot of stock into the Cover Song. While the original version was not a hit (in the billboard sense), it is well known that the original version exists and is a fantastic song on it's own. Bob Marley wrote this fantastic song with the Wailers, but Eric Clapton perfected "I Shot the Sheriff". How I managed to snake Eric Clapton in the 10th round I'm not sure, but I thank vtbub for taking a song he did with Derek and the Dominos for his Epic.

Classic - 8.3 - "A Change is Gonna Come", Sam Cooke
Epic - 6.3 - "Space Oddity", David Bowie
Arena - 5.8 - "You Shook Me All Night Long", AC/DC
Trendsetter - 2.3 - "Rapper's Delight", The Sugarhill Gang
Love Song - 7.8 - "Unforgettable" - Natalie Cole with Nat King Cole
One-Hit Wonder - 9.8 - "Mickey", Toni Basil
Party - 4.3 - "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)", Beastie Boys
Crossover - 1.8 - "Walk This Way", Run-D.M.C. feat. Aerosmith
Cover - "I Shot The Sheriff", Eric Clapton
Anti-Establishment - 3.8 - "Killing in the Name", Rage Against the Machine

I suspect Bucc was going to take "Mickey" as his Epic.

I really enjoy the Goldfinger cover. It's one I considered, but it's one of the many cover songs I love that no one (or very few people) would recognize.

Interestingly (maybe), according to Wiki the term "cover" is technically only for instances where an artists records a song that's currently popular in order to steal sales away from the original (usually lesser known) artist. Apparently it was a common trick in the early days of popular music. I'd never heard that before, and I think 99% percent of the public goes with the broader definition.

My list of covers I put together for this is loaded with this situation. I'd name some because everyone has picked a cover, but there's always the possibility it could spark someone's thoughts in another category.
