McSweeney’s had a good bit not too long ago about follow up songs to one-hit wonders:
How Are We Going to Get These Dogs Back In?
Bust an Additional Move
Seriously, Eileen, Come On
(Won’t You Give Me a Ride Home From) Funkytown?
Remember When You Lit Up My Life? That Was Great
I Will Now Pass the Dutchie Back to You and Thank You for Passing It to Me Originally Because I Really Enjoyed the Dutchie
The Morning That the Lights Came Back On in Georgia
Everybody Was Kung Fu Making Up
Achier Breakier Heart
Whoomp! There It Continues to Be
867-5309 extension 2
We Never Took It and Persist in Our Refusal to Take It
But I figure, why stop at one-hit wonders?
We Have Successfully Received the Funk
Hit Me Baby One More Time, Then Please Stop Hitting Me
I Wanted You to Want Me, But Now Not So Much
It’s Cooler Now, We Should Put Back On All Our Clothes
Feel free to add your own in the comments section.
Here are my lame additions:
* Now I Don’t Want to Drive 55 (The Speed Kills my Gas Mileage)
* That Lady (Looks Like a Dude)
* MTV Killed the Video Star
* Yet Not 2 Legit to be on Reality TV
* Life Isn’t a Highway — Its a Box of Chocolates
This list cracks me up, thanks for posting 🙂
