The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAfter Party

Reel Big Fish, "One Hit Wonderful" from We're Not Happy 'til You're Not Happy (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: "One Hit Wonderful" is a song about the success of another song, "Sell Out."
"Fourteen minutes and fifty-nine seconds into our fifteen minutes of fame,
When the luck runs out, I won't wonder who's to blame,
Because nobody said they had a guaranteed way
To win the hearts of the public who are easily swayed,
And just this time last year, I thought we had it made.

"We were one hit wonderful!
Livin' the life, playin' the role,
We were one hit wonderful!
Well, it can't last long,
They don't love you,
They just love that one song…"
