The 25 Strangest One-Hit Wonders of the ’90s

There are some one hit wonders are catchy and they make you wonder (get it?) what happened to the singer. But then, there are others that are just so cringy and cheesy that you wonder how they even became a hit to begin with.

There are a bunch of baddies from every era, and here’s a list of the strangest one hit wonders of the 90’s.

“I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred

“I’m Too Sexy” topped the charts in six countries, including Australia, Ireland, and the United States in 1991. It is goofy and fun but also annoyingly gets stuck in your head and will not get out.

Right Said Fred may not have had a hit after this but the two of them were credited on Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” because the chorus is a reworking of “I’m Too Sexy,” proving that this song will never die.

“Cotton Eyed Joe” by Rednex

“Cotton Eyed Joe” was a song that turned into a dance for everyone’s junior high dances. It’s annoying, but at least you’re burning some calories while hopping around doing the dance which is basically a redneck version of the electric slide.

The dance version one hit wonder was released in 1994 and the band Rednex never reached any other success quite like that after.

“The Bad Touch” by The Bloodhound Gang

The Bloodhound Gang’s “Bad Touch” wasn’t hiding what the song was about one bit. The gang dressed up like monkeys in Paris and watch real monkeys hump each other on television, they then shoot a poison dart at some women and capture them, some bakers, and a variety of other Parisian folk in a cage.

It was the Bloodhound Gang’s biggest hit off their album Hooray for Boobies – we’re kind of glad we only messed up once and let these guys have just one hit.

“Rico Suave” by Gerardo

“Rico Suave” is a song that narrates the guy’s luck with women and his lady loving lifestyle. It is off of Gerardo’s debut album and reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. Unfortunately, that was the highest hit Gerardo ever received. It also made Blender’s list of “

50 Worst Songs Ever.” It’s cheesy early 90’s and that’s why it’s also on our worst one hit wonder list.
