I had the privilege of seeing this band live, but i also grew up listening to them from the early 90s. Hands down best concert i have ever been to, they really know how to make a crowd groove without leaving people bloody or black eyes in a mosh pit lol.
I was smiling before the song started because I knew that you guys were gonna love it. ❤️ So catchy, and I love the simple harmonies. I've seen plenty of tragedy. I've been tested; I'm no coward. And I still love, love, love this song.
I'm guessing that you've had enough suggestions for the "one hit wonder" marathon to wallpaper your bathroom with, but I'm going to campaign one last time for "Vehicle" by the Ides of March. It was released in 1970, and it is still the fastest selling single in Warner Brothers Music history. With it's soulful, impassioned vocals and it's powerful, heavenly horns many people think it was done by Blood, Sweat, and Tears, or is an early Chicago song. Most listeners are pretty blown away by it. (Must be those horns, eh? 😉)
SKA is what gives this and many other tunes a "reggae vibe". The Police, Madness, The English Beat, UB40, The Specials, are notably some of the more prominent users of the SKA rhythm of the 80s.
@@jjo154 Indeed... I am not an authority on SKA, but in my experience it typically features a horn section. The Police is not a SKA band because their Reggae influence was at least partly due to Sting having lived in Jamaica for a time.
Not sure if the guys might be able to see this post, but I wanted to pass this forthcoming info along for all the viewers that graciously voted (I put an informal vote up that can be accessed in the "Take On Me" video comments). The song "What You Won't Do For Love" by Bobby Caldwell has been recommended a series of times and it has received nearly 95 "Likes" in my informal vote. I don't know how many more videos the guys plan on recording for the marathon but I hope they'll consider this song for it or shortly thereafter for all the folks that are supporting that particular song. Thanks so much and keep up the truly GREAT work, guys! 😀
Thanks for the reply, Angela. I know quite a few folks, including myself, have suggested the song. Hopefully between the informal vote, this thread, and all the other recommendations, the guys can get to it during the marathon or shortly thereafter. As I've wrote in other posts, I might argue it is the best "one hit wonder" of the modern music era and one of the best pop/R&B/soul songs released around the last 45 years or so. Let's keep up the good fight, so thanks for all your efforts. 😁
I forgot to mention that the post where anyone interested in having the guys do a video for Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do For Love" is still up in the comments section for the "Take On Me" video. If you want the guys to do a reaction for "What You Won't Do For Love," simply click the "Like" (Thumbs Up) button for that comment. There are almost 95 votes for the song already, so the larger the number, the better the chance that the guys may notice it. Thanks to all for the great support of a tremendous song! 😁
Went to Berklee and had classes with the horn players. Every year they &Dropkick Murphys have Hometown throwdown . Hard for me to think of them as one hit when they've been active here in Boston for decades BTW in late 80's -90's there was a huge Ska scene which they were a part of. BTW in the same time period Aids was still very much an issue and I believe that's what this song is about.
In the late 80's early 90's Aids was still very much an issue and I believe that's what this song is about. Part of the Boston Ska scene in my hometown of Boston. Saw them many times before they were signed..
Saw them at the House of a Blues at Downtown Disney about 15 years ago where the lead singer Dicky Barrett explains he doesn’t dance the “Bosstone” dances for him, it’s his job. That’s ALL HE DID the entire concert. Not a word spoken, sung or instrument touched. Awesome
Great posts. I wonder how the "Bosstone" puts that down on a job applicaton/resume. HR Coordinator: "I see here you were a 'Bosstone' for several years. Can you explain how that experience might help you here at Acme Corporation?" "Bosstone": "I danced." "HR Coordinator": "So you danced in a band?" "Bosstone": "Yes. I danced. A lot." That would be one heck of an interview to sit in on. 😂
@@MattB-h3n I wonder how he applied for the "Bosstone" job to begin with! ..."Hey guys, I can't play an instrument, but I've got a shit ton of energy. How about I just bounce around the stage for a couple of hours?"
As we wait for the next video in the marathon, it might be interesting to look at how many female artists had "one hit wonders" that went to #1 on the American mainstream chart. Please be aware that there appears to be at least 16 artists that have achieved this lofty goal over the last 70 years, but it is possible that one or more additional instances may have been unintentionally omitted. Please also note that, to keep things somewhat simple, these are only SOLO efforts. Duets, bands with female members, and all-female groups were not included here (sorry if that makes this list less legitimate in anyone's eyes). With all disclaimers aside, here is the list in chronological order: 1) Joan Weber-"Let Me Go, Lover!" (1954) 2) Little Peggy March-"I Will Follow Him" (1963) 3) The Singing Nun-"Dominique" (1963) 4) Jeannie C. Riley-"Harper Valley P.T.A." (1968) 5) Vicki Lawrence-"The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" (1973) 6) Minnie Riperton-"Lovin' You" (1975) 7) Mary MacGregor-"Torn Between Two Lovers" (1977) 8) Thelma Houston-"Don't Leave Me This Way" (1977) 9) Debbie Boone-"You Light Up My Life" (1977) 10) Amii Stewart-"Knock On Wood" (1979) 11) Anita Ward-"Ring My Bell" (1979) 12) Toni Basil-"Mickey" (1982) 13) Martika-"Toy Soldiers" (1988) 14) Alannah Myles-"Black Velvet" (1990) 15) Sinead O'Connor-"Nothing Compares 2 U" (1990) 16) Lisa Loeb-"Stay (I Missed You)" (1994) Some notes: Jeannie C. Riley's "Harper Valley P.T.A." was the first song by a female solo artist to reach #1 on the American pop and country charts. The song was also written by country music superstar Tom T. Hall. Vicki Lawrence was best known as a cast member on "The Carol Burnett Show" comedy program and who later starred in the sitcom "Mama's Family." "Lovin' You" was developed from a melody by Minnie Riperton and her husband to sooth their daughter, who grew up to become actress and comedian Maya Rudolph. The song was also co-produced by musical genius Stevie Wonder. "Torn Between Two Lovers" was co-written by Peter Yarrow of the classic folk trio Peter, Paul, and Mary. "Don't Leave Me This Way" was written by legendary songwriters and record producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Debbie Boone is the daughter of early rock music star Pat Boone. "Nothing Compares 2 U" was written by the iconic Prince. Some takeaways: The 1970s was the dominant decade with 7 of the 16 songs on the list. 1977 was the biggest year with 3 different "one hit wonders" to peak at #1. 1963, 1979, and 1990 all had 2 #1 "one hit wonders." The longest period of time between songs reaching #1 was 9 years from 1954 to 1963. The shortest gap was 2 years, which happened several times. The anniversary of the last "one hit wonder" to reach #1 was 30 years ago and it was exactly 40 years after the first #1 "one hit wonder" song by a solo female artist. I hope the post provided some intriguing information as we continue to enjoy what's left of this great marathon! 😁
Check out "Free Yourself" by The Untouchables! I think you guys would love it! (also: "I Spy for The FBI", "Wild Child"). Lesser-known & highly underrated, early-to-mid-80's ska band from Los Angeles.
The Bosstones were great. Before they officially broke up, some of the originals left the band and got together with Mike McColgan from the Drop Kick Murphy's., creating Street Dogs.
The lead singer was from 80’s hardcore punk bands. That’s why his scream is so good. Ska comes from the sound of the upstrokes on the guitar. This is third wave ska from the 90’s….2nd wave was from the 80’s and first wave ska originated from Jamaica with more of a reggae sound. The difference was the rhythm hence the ska guitar upstroke.
Love this great band from Boston! A popular song in this area was their earlier song. "Someday I Suppose" from 1993. It was first on an EP and then on a full album, Don't Know How to Party.
I have liked this song since it came out & still do. It is more unique amongst the types of music we had even then. I also do like the bright, energetic sound (& yet the way the vocals are slowed & each word is separated in parts makes you focus a bit more on the meaning behind it.) Glad you both enjoyed it too.
Ozark Mountain Daredevils- Jackie Blue( LP edit) Best Yacht Rock 1 hit ever! I looked up they had another hit but think in a niche bluegrass or country market. Never heard it until now. Great track as well. Still would consider Javkie Blue a 1 hit

Should be very intriguing to get the guys' opinions on this one. From the documentation available, it appears the song has been sampled at least 5 times between 2014 and 2022.

ruclips.net/video/h0zwYNPPD2g/видео.htmlsi=mPpG10T-qyTnYSRM Thanks for the post, Tally. Nice connection with Rick Springfield. I've posted a link to that song above so anyone else that's interested can take a listen. Even though Springfield's song is uptempo, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones make Rick sound like Frank Sinatra singing "My Way." 😂 Seriously, I do agree that there is at least a slight similarity to the melody in the chorus. Thanks again for the post.
I don't consider them a 1 hit wonder. Don't Know How To Party and Some Day I Suppose, were hits. The singer also was the announcer on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
It may not have been a top 40 firestorm, but "The Rascal King" did get to 7 on the US alternative charts. So MMB are almost sorta kinda not one hit wonders.
This is one of those songs I remember the very first time I heard it. It hit me like Baloo in Jungle Book when he sees the monkeys singing I Wanna Be Like You. ruclips.net/video/ud5J7Ye332I/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/pkL6pwtyBww/видео.htmlsi=Rsl03NFqxth5fDex I have to write this was one of the more unique reactions due to the level of analysis the guys put into both the music and lyrics. Typically, the guys seem to concentrate on one but perhaps not the other. It was great to see both focused on here. As someone that's heard this song in various forms over the years, I was particularly impressed by the horns in this tune. Really well done and it is a shame that horns aren't a bigger part of modern pop/mainstream music. The discussion about the end of the song was very interesting. It seems like this is a case of lyrical dissonance (where the music tempo and lyrics don't match) that I've brought up before but the band makes the conscious decision to slow the song down to emphasize the lyrics, which is a rare and unique choice. Good songwriting, arranging, and producing in my view. On a few more light hearted notes, all videos are fine moments for "Step Brothers" references. The link above is to one of the signature lines in the film. I also have to write that Nick's comment to Ryan about the kids games from their youth of "Well, you know, whatever" has to be a button on the computer in the future. 😀 Finally, I'm getting to the point where the outtakes at the end are going to need to be mandatory. They're just too funny! Great job, as always, from the guys. Time for the next video. Let's go! 😂
I hear this being universal. Fit in a lot of places. If not the whole song, parts of it. Chorus though is a little much. Noisy, if you know what I mean. Not quite the same as loud. Parts of the song are good. 3 1/2 out of 5 ✌️
I have never heard this before. Fate has spared my ears!! Sounds like a bunch of odd phrases and tones thrown together way too loud. A NO hit failure..........

Such a clean sound. I think we were all so appreciative of the musicality of this song, hence it becoming such a success.

The bosstones weren't one hit wonder band at all, the media just focused on that one song that cast a huge shadow over their other amazing work
SKA is what gives this and many other tunes a "reggae vibe". The Police, Madness, The English Beat, UB40, The Specials, are notably some of the more prominent users of the SKA rhythm of the 80s.
Isn't UB40 more reggae?

This song gives you strength where it's needed that's why it was written. Its a nod of respect.

Part of the Boston Ska scene in my hometown of Boston. Saw them many times before they were signed..
A guy who used to play in bars/nightclubs in the Louisville area especially New Albany is Henry Lee Summer “I wish I had a girl”. Must show the video.
Were Phoenix Hill Tavern and Toy Tiger among them?
The band has a member whose role is “Bosstone”. Plays no instrument, does not sing… just dances wildly… a job I want
Saw them at the House of a Blues at Downtown Disney about 15 years ago where the lead singer Dicky Barrett explains he doesn’t dance the “Bosstone” dances for him, it’s his job. That’s ALL HE DID the entire concert. Not a word spoken, sung or instrument touched. Awesome

Never knew he had an official title (I always thought he was just the dancing guy). One of my favorite ideas any band has ever come up with, genius.
@@MattB-h3n I wonder how he applied for the "Bosstone" job to begin with! ..."Hey guys, I can't play an instrument, but I've got a shit ton of energy. How about I just bounce around the stage for a couple of hours?"
A introspective but happy song about self reflection and gratitude -- Even for this 90's this song was unique and a welcome hit on the radio.

Please react to Gino Vanelli “I just want to stop”. Benny Mardones “Into the night”. And Ace “How long has this been going on?”
I thought these guys had other hits besides this one. I could be wrong. Am i?? Definitely a good song from yesteryear!😂😂 glad the 502 boys liked it!
The Bosstones were great. Before they officially broke up, some of the originals left the band and got together with Mike McColgan from the Drop Kick Murphy's., creating Street Dogs.
Ska is life. 2Tone4Ever
These guys have a really solid back catalogue. And their live album is great.
LOVE THIS TUNE!! :) THANKS for putting a SMILE ON MY FACE, TODAY, GUYS!! Hope you ENJOY!!! :) HUGS!!

Great reaction and song. To borrow from ALADDIN--you guys were a little punch-drunk (one too many hits with the snake) LOL
They did only have one "hit", but they had a TON of catchy tunes. Really cool band.
You hit the nail in the head. Will I meet the moment if it ever happens to me?
Two of my favorite songs from the 90's this one and Flagpole Sitta.
This song was huge when it came out.
Some songs are meant for the three of you to review. This is most definitely one of them.
Love this great band from Boston! A popular song in this area was their earlier song. "Someday I Suppose" from 1993. It was first on an EP and then on a full album, Don't Know How to Party.
You guys need to dive into BTO... Bachman Turner Overdrive...my favorite song is, LET IT ROLL!!
Never heard this before, sounds a little chaotic but by the end of the song I was starting to catch on
Frankie and the Knockouts.
I want to go skating now, but no im stuck at work. The digimon movie also scapunk songs it.
I have liked this song since it came out & still do. It is more unique amongst the types of music we had even then. I also do like the bright, energetic sound (& yet the way the vocals are slowed & each word is separated in parts makes you focus a bit more on the meaning behind it.) Glad you both enjoyed it too.
Someday I suppose is another good one
Ozark Mountain Daredevils- Jackie Blue( LP edit) Best Yacht Rock 1 hit ever!
I looked up they had another hit but think in a niche bluegrass or country market.
Never heard it until now. Great track as well. Still would consider Javkie Blue a 1 hit
Thank goodness for the video! Try Wild Cherry “Play that Funky Music”!!🤘🔥
If you look closely, there’s a guy in the band that just dances.
The most talented one at that...
Ska bands traditionally had to have a trombone player

Definitely a switch up in musical direction for the marathon and time period with this song! Should be very intriguing to get the guys' opinions on this one.
From the documentation available, it appears the song has been sampled at least 5 times between 2014 and 2022. Perhaps the most intriguing sample is from a group called iOS Ringtone Collective. This band did create a ring tone from this song for Blackberry phones back in 2022. Should anyone want to dig into that further, it looks like the group has a page on the bandcamp website.
The song has been documented as being covered nearly 5 times from 1998 to 2011. There have been two quite unique covers of this song that have been recorded. The first link above is to the United States Army Field Band's version (recorded in 2007). The second link above is to what is listed as a gospel group called The Mighty Optomists, who recorded an accapella cover in 2006. Fascinating stuff!
Good to see the guys throwing a little "change up" in the marathon. I'm excited to learn their opinions, especially Ryan with the horns so prevalent in this tune. Let's keep this great marathon going, friends! 😀
I've never heard of this band or this song. Song's okay, I guess. The chorus reminds me of Rick Springfield's "I've Done Everything for You".

I d9nt have much of a wheelhouse lately, what with -itises and the supplements to tolerate the actual meds but, what was I talking about?

Couldn’t make it through half the song…so not for me

I have never heard this before. Fate has spared my ears!! Sounds like a bunch of odd phrases and tones thrown together way too loud. A NO hit failure..........
Nothing special, mediocre song, listened to it and forgot about it. 👎
