ITS NATIONAL ONE-HIT WONDER DAY (SEPT. 25)
DENVER (Wireless Flash) Media giant Clear Channel Communications recently released a list of songs its radio stations are suggested to pull from playlists due to the September 11 terrorist tragedy and it may have an impact on National One-Hit Wonder Day, which takes place tomorrow (Sep. 25). Many of the songs on the banned list are one-hit wonder staples, including tunes like Barry McGuires Eve of Destruction and the movie theme to St. Elmos Fire. Other one-hit wonders that are Clear Channel no-nos include Zager and Evans In the Year 2525 and Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum. Meanwhile, National One-Hit Wonder Day founder Steve Rosen says hes been so affected by the terrorist attacks that the idea of holding a day to honor one-hit wonders now seems trivial to him. In his words, Frankly, I couldnt care less about One-Hit Wonder Day right now.
