Join musician Chris Fafalios (Punchline, Another Cheetah, Pack) as he listens to different one hit wonders with a revolving door of guests (including his bandmates and/or people from bands that he has toured with). After listening to the back catalog of the week's artist, they decide if the artist is a one hit blunder (shouldn't have had any success) or brought the one hit thunder (deserved to be much bigger than they were).

    "Whoever You Are" by Geggy Tah (f/Taylor Morden)

    "Whoever You Are" by Geggy Tah (f/Taylor Morden)

    This week we want to thank you all the great drivers out there. Maybe one of you helped inspire Geggy Tah to pen their hit "Whoever You Are". This laid-back track about letting you change lanes was a minor hit in the mid-90s and found itself in car commercials years later but unfortunately Geggy Tah couldn't get another hit. Fan of the band and Bampire director Taylor Morden joins us this week to break down this infectious tune.

    "We Are the World" by U.S.A. for Africa

    "We Are the World" by U.S.A. for Africa

    On a remarkable night in 1985, an ensemble of music's brightest stars united to record a benefit anthem. This song soared to become one of the best-selling singles in music history and has since served as a touchstone for parodies and cultural nods. In celebration of the recent Netflix documentary chronicling the recording session, we at One Hit Thunder have chosen to make an episode about this iconic track—the sole chart-topper by U.S.A. for Africa.

These guys

Hey, what can I say— I’m a fan! Chris is always amped and Matt has that informational background on the songs that helps paint a picture of the time and circumstances that created a (singular) hit song.

Where have you been all of my life?

How many times have you wondered what happened to a band that had one smash hit or those people that recorded one song that will stick with you your whole life? Chris and Mat answer all of these questions and more in this fantastically researched and beautifully presented podcast. You laugh. You cry. It's better than 'Cats.' 💜🦄💜
