‎One-Hit Wonders of the World

Grab your coffee and saxophones, because we're headed to Cameroon to explore the life, career, and impact of the original makossa man, Manu Dibango! We talk soccer, oppressive governments, Michael Jackson, and "mama-say mama-sa"-related income, all live from the airport.

On our first Family Night episode, Trevor's actual father joins us to discuss once very famous person Richard Harris, his musical co-conspirator Jimmy Webb, the dueling forces of passion and apathy, and the effect of precipitation on cakes. Oh no!

You can watch a special video version of this episode by going to [ohwow.link/video](http://ohwow.link/video)!

The gods are crazy, the stars are blind, and OHWOW is back to mine into the lore of Paris Hilton's 2006 summer smash, with a little help from friend and listener Mary Schneider. Do you mind spending some time just hanging here with us?

On the second crossover episode of OHWOW, Duff Dixon from _Play It by Year_ joins us from Desolation Row/Margaritaville to discuss Nebraskan antiheroes Zager and Evans, and their baffling #1 hit, "In the Year 2525". If listeners can survive, they may find... our longest episode yet.

Put down that zine and sew your legs back on, cause we’re not sick but we’re not well! Harvey Danger is in the crosshairs on the first OHWOW recorded since The Big C, and the last before the (gulp) election. Who knew October surprises could drop on November 1st? Turn off time and kill your mind with us!

[whip cracking noise]

Come watch the stars play on a new episode of OHWOW, featuring the story of eternal teen Rivers Cuomo and his unkillable band, Weezer. Also, Rick Rubin shows up, and we play the first incarnation of our new game show, _What's Weird Al Gonna Do Next?_

How bizarre to see a new episode of OHWOW, about the New Zealand trailblazer OMC, no less! In this episode, we get back to our roots with the story of Pauly Fuemana and Alan Jansson's 1997 smash. Plus, we take LSD, get abducted by robots, and surmise our demises. If you're interested in the rest, please contact our lawyers about the rights.

A-HA! For our first two-hit wonder, Maxton ropes in one of his old bandmates, Nick Bottomley (aka Bears and You) from Christmas, Somewhere to nerd out over the perennial 80s juggernaut, a-ha's "Take on Me", and pay tribute to its forgotten sibling, "The Sun Always Shines on TV". Prepare to be taken.
