one hit wonders

[gsh]

Yesterday on the radio I heard back to back 867-5309 by Tommy TwoTone and "Blinded by the light", as performed by Manfred Man. Pam commented on the back to back one hit wonders, and I started to think that since Manfred Man covered Springsteen does that count as a "one hit wonder". I think it doesn't. Since I have a meeting in three minutes, I want to find out what LJ land thinks.

"Clicky!" = it depends on if the cover gets more play than the original version, and becomes the song for which that band is known.

I think the Manfred Man version is better known than the Springsteen version.

Definitely. Hence the "Yes" vote.
