We all know one-hit wonders. But bands don't just make one song and fade away. So this week we make a mix of 10 singles from one-hit wonders - just not the ones you know. What makes one song a hit and a similar-sounding song not a hit? How self-aware is Lou Bega? How many one-hit wonders were long-time anarchist punks the whole time? And why, why, why would Everlast make a song called Black Jesus? These questions and more we try to answer for you.
