Are Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita still getting sweeter for Lou Bega? Doubt it.


Need some music to play at your party, gathering, box social or... by yourself... this weekend? We've got a playlist just for you! Each Friday we'll have a different themed YouTube playlist posted on here to save you the trouble of sorting one out. Because it's Lou Bega's birthday today (yep... still alive), our theme for today is one-hit wonders. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cringe and then you'll laugh again. Head on over to YouTube to start the fun now! Want to see what's on it? Here it is...

Song of the Day - One of Us

Joan Osborne - One of Us

Album: Relish (1995)

So, I think 'One of Us' is pretty awesome. I never used to, but I was young(er) and thought it was just some Christian rock lameness that managed to make it onto the pop charts. How wrong I was. It's actually a damn good rock song, the lyrics are some of the most thought provoking you'll ever hear and Osborne's distinct delivery stays with you long after you've heard it. 'One of Us' made and killed her career, but it will go down as one of the better one hit wonders in music's history. Forgotten Gem #5. Enjoy!
