yogacat Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 One hit wonders...I was just thinking about those awesome songs  that come out of nowhere, get really popular, and then disappear just as quickly. 😅 Link to comment
Batya33 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I did a quick search of 1980s one hit wonders and had no idea some of the songs I/we loved were- like Tainted Love and Funky Town! 1 Link to comment

Maybe. I've heard some of their songs, but I never really got into them. But I do remember listening to "Cherry Bomb" and thinking it was a catchy tune. I dig Crimson and Clover. Is she talking about a guy or a girl? Drugs or Love? Over and over. Who knows?😂 Link to comment

LOL The Runaways had some catchy stuff. I'm a new wave kind of guy, with some old punk tunes i like. Some of Joan's covers are better than the originals I hate to say. (not really)  1 Link to comment

Some of Joan's covers are better than the originals I hate to say. (not really)  I feel Crimson and Clover can be interpreted in different ways. Heck it could be about hemrroids for all I know. But I think it mainly comes down to love and perhaps the confusion that comes with it. The lyrics seem to express a desire for someone or something, but also a fear of getting too close, as they sing "now I don't hardly know her, but I think I could love her." So it could be about a new love interest or a past relationship that still lingers. Ummm...sometimes covers are 1000 times BETTER than the original. She does a fine job. Punk like flock a seagulls or the Ramones? 1 Link to comment
