'90s One-Hit Wonders 2

In the era of the 21st Century TV talent show, fleeting pop fame is available to anyone who braves an audition and impresses the judges, but back in the '90s things were a little less straightforward. Fly-by-night pop hopefuls were actually required to cut a single, send it into the charts, and then watch fame recede in the rear-view mirror of life, like the shrinking silhouette of a motorway service station. Charles & Eddie nailed the old method to perfection with retro-soul standout "Would I Lie to You?" which topped global charts in 1992, while Adamski introduced Seal to the world as the vocalist on "Killer" (1990) . . . and that was pretty much that.

Comedy has always been a reliable source of one-hit wonders, and in 1995 northern standup Roy "Chubby" Brown broadened his fanbase by amending the New World/Smokie hit "Living Next Door to Alice" with a well-placed expletive. His version of the tune instigated many a pub singalong, and the same can be said of Monty Python's "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" which originally featured as the closing song in 1979's Life of Brian, but picked up a cult following in the '90s, especially on the football terraces. "Doop" by Dutch production team, Doop, overhauled the charleston in 1994, and closed the gap between pop and torture.
