Most of these Songs are Cheesy, But they are still Good, & are Much Better than the 💩 that is Out there Today..

[@Liminalism-htp]

Y'all should make a video titled "most poorly named watch MOJO KZbin videos" you know what I'm talking about.

[@fdsmiguel91]

Return of the Mac still gets in my rotation. I was like 6 years old screaming “ you lieeeeedddddd to meeeeeeee”

[@TheVictorPeacecraftProject]

WatchMojo, it doesn’t matter if these songs are cheesy, it’s still better than the crap the music industry has put out in the last few years.

[@Ryan-qd1sp]

I do agree with you at times it seems like music these days lost its flavor😂🎉

[@henghau]

Agreed. These so-called cheesy songs don't use autotune too, except for Eiffel 65's Blue

[@fishgurusince1985]

This era is untouchable! Makes me think about the good times and the better times.

[@sutherlandshots2954]

oh danny boy

[@josh33025]

New music does not interest me. Im stuck in the 90's and early 2ks.

[@BlueTearDconnor]

Yup, for the most part, but every other bloody full moon somebody does something okay.

[@remyazharyyosef1811]

Couldn't agree more. I'd rather listen to what kids today call "old music" than listen to their excuse of music. I mean, to be fair, let them love their music and I won't intervene by indoctrinate them to like music of the past. But personally, I feel like music had suffered gradual death after 2000s.

[@jennalee8744]

Same!

[@daniellee184]

Yup!

[@michaelblaine6494]

There are no genres anymore outside of pop music for 13 year olds. And even that hasn’t evolved since 2004-2007,if you listen to the top songs from 2009 and the top ten from this year there would be almost no difference making recent music instantly sound dated.. The 90s-early 00s were the last time anything original and authentic happened. Thank God it’s all still there🤘

[@squishygrumpkin]

I just made this playlist on Spotify and it is totally unhinged. I love it. There are no skips. Bops from beginning to end.

[@davidrule385]

You did forget "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)" by Scatman John. I first heard that when I was in school and to this day, I still can't get enough of it.

[@belantww]

Yes!

[@Uncle_Smidge]

It sounds like he was actually a super sweet dude in person, too! All hail the Scatman. 🤘

[@IAMNOGOOD80]

None of these are cheesy or bad they're all great

[@alp2961]

Mr. Vain is a dance classic. I love early 90s Eurodance so much.

[@kingeatking]

Never thought of "one of us" as a cheesey song!

[@Vlaakster]

I love every single one! I am truly a child of the 90s.

[@nadeemb3300]

My older siblings were teens in the 90s, I remember them playing many of these songs. This era was so simple.

[@deltamovieshd9255]

How about do a countdown of musicians that should've been one hit wonders...

[@GormlyKeep]

So glad many of these didn't land in the UK. The bass line of Spacehog is awesome

[@AP-hr5gx]

Return of the Mac is a hit this list. Sucks as a list for cheesy.

[@juken16]

Right🎉

[@AZNXXXful14]

Return of the Mack one hit wonder? Idc it’s awesome as hell

[@MohammedAdwani]

Return of the Mac is far from being cheesy

[@christopherdieudonne]

Completely agree. There is absolutely nothing corny or cheesy about Return of Mack. It's extremely well crafted with a sophisticated sound.

[@Kel_Varnsen]

Return of the Mac and Cheese.

[@avklock]

Should trim this list down to 10. A lot weren't cheesy, just products of their time (and timeless because of it!)

[@AngelPhoenixR83]

Exactly! A lot of these songs are cheesy by today’s standards, but most of these songs were hits when they came out.

[@avklock]

@AngelPhoenixR83 right! And you can't tell me something like Spacehog or Deep Blue Something is cheesy just because it may not land in the top 40 today...

[@michaeldoran4831]

Many of these were not one-hit wonders, either. They may have been the biggest hits from these artists, but Vanilla Ice, Mark Wahlberg, Sir Mix-A-Lot, and Billy Ray Cyrus had multiple albums with Top 10 hits in their respective genres.

[@Shadowace724]

13 of these songs are on my playlist LOL. Good times!

[@GHOSTFIRE2944]

I have so many songs stuck in my head now!

[@vickiwaatti1076]

Every song on this list is great. I remember them all as I graduated in 1994. What a great flashback! Thank you.

[@timalice-2833]

I once heard that Baby Got Back was written because his girlfriend went for a modeling job and she was distraught from being called too fat for the job. One Of Us caused tremendous outrage in conservative religious groups when it was released. Many did take offense from it. The singer of Marcy’s Playground said they were so sick of hearing their song everywhere that they hated it. Almost regretting making it.

[@FunnyHaHa420]

"Awesome song! Chumbawumba. It's the soundtrack of my life man!"

[@LadyPapaMayodora]

Im here just to listen to old bops because clearly i can never just trust their lists. Theres def some in here that arent cheesy. AND Achy breaky heart being so low on the list is CRAZY. It needs to be top 3 at least because it is cheesy on steroids.

[@ICLight412]

Mojo itself getting cheesier day by day

[@ericjayfederizo3549]

I love one of us. I rocking on with that solo 🤘

[@TornSparrow1974]

Mr. Vain was definitely a fave of mine.

[@Panwere36]

The cheesy hits of every decade between 1950-2010 are better than most of the "mega hits" of the last 15 years especially.

[@ZipManGem]

We need the top 20 dance songs of the 90's!! Keep the videos coming!!

[@Ryan-qd1sp]

All I can say about the 90s is that it was nuts 🥜🌰🥜🌰😅

[@marktheroux9465]

My Dad played a waiter in the Breakfast at Tiffany's music video (at the end of the line at 1:44) - he had to go into the city really early for filming.

[@KatieUnoXX]

Mighty Mighty Bosstones huh ?

[@LegendaryDCC]

These aren't cheesy at all, I love most of them. Granted, I have an open mind and tried to give today's music an ear. Only a few of today's music strikes a chord, but the rest just sucks.

[@joermnyc]

Spacehog rips, hearing it again in the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 trailer gave me goosebumps.

[@tylergoodman3560]

I've listened to Ice, Ice, Baby a few times. 🎉

[@Ploots21]

Outside of Joey Lawrence and Billy Ray Cyrus - who are the literal human embodiments of cheese - most of these are damn good songs.

[@gordonmills2748]

I worked in Top 40 radio in the 90s, and played a lot of these songs. Skee-Lo was a super nice guy...and yeah, not that tall. I met Billy Ray Cyrus long after Achy Breaky Heart came out, and he was very chill. Brought the Bayside Boys (Macarena) onstage at a festival show, So many great dance records!

[@enderwiggin5572]

Watch Mojo is trippin saying that Sir mix a lot was a one hit wonder!

[@curtjameshatmaker5691]

Posse On Broadway is still a bass banger!!!

[@djwalkerfemaledj]

The Good old days ,Very good video Mojo👏🏾👍🏾🤟🏾

[@ianrangers]

A number of these bands are not 1 hit wonders! Aqua, Vengaboys! Hell even Haddaway had a few hits

[@COMPFUNK2]

Actually, only Aqua had a second hit: “Lollipop (Candyman)”.

[@mtlnascarfan]

I don't know about anyone else, but whenever I hear "Rico Suave" playing, I automatically start thinking about Weird Al's version "Taco Grande".😂

[@shakeylastephens5171]

This Playlist is pretty much my childhood I love all of them this satisfied the 90s baby in me

[@forgejuan1697]

Looks like it's so much fun being dope in 90's

[@MikeScriver-o7h]

I still bust the old dance moves when cotton eyed Joe and up note it’s like a anthem 😂

[@tjs1098]

Joan Osborne might have sung One of Us, but the his royal purpleness Prince wrote it! That makes is much more that a one hit wonder!

[@colinekszczecin]

Vengaboys had multiple hit songs (Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!, Uncle John From Jamaica, Up & Down, We're Going to Ibiza to name a few) . Not sure I would call them one hit wonders

[@RandyWells24]

no SNOW didnt write WHILE in jail, he wrote it BEFORE and made a video that was released for Informer WHILE he was in jail, i recently watched a video of snow telling that story.

[@chrisno420]

Whoever made this list needs slapped. Yes there is a couple cheesy ones but you’re out your mind calling all of them that.

[@avklock]

Exactly

[@aaronsullivan8230]

Ah, a trip through my childhood. Heard most of these on the radio. I remember the dance take over of the late 90's. Or maybe my mom just preferred dance music. Anywho i heard that knocked down song loads of times as well as that damned barbie song.

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

Autotune for “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” aside, it has some great lyrics.

[@Kudeghraw]

I remember someone saying it was "I'm blue, if I were green I would die, if I were green I would die" And you know the rest. That someone did a bit of drugs.

[@carolinagallegos3926]

Best music ever is from the 60s and most definitely the 70s!! In our day the singers were real and not created by computers!!

[@andreschachel5863]

Marky Mark was no One Hit Wonder. After the Funky Bunch he was very famous in Europe with Prince Ital Joe and 3 or 4 Top 20 Songs.

[@tb33023]

You need to make a Spotify Playlist of all these song!!

[@rikoroynanda7648]

You forget are you Jimmy ray - Jimmy ray, a cross the universe- viona Apple, that's what love can do - boy Krazy, whatsapp- 4 non blondes, would I lie - Charles Eddie, teardrops - the radio. So many one hit wonder in 90s

[@Uncle_Smidge]

Because I have a similar name, I'm stuck making the Marky Mark joke when I meet people. Because If I don't, they goddamn will. Every. Fucking. Time.

[@GHOSTFIRE2944]

Scatman!

[@niallpike1456]

Will Ferrell was iconic for the What Is Love song

[@stephentodd7194]

Informer slaps real hard, I love the song. I keep forgetting about it though until someone brings it up 😅

[@officialPodCAK]

I have made KZbin playlists from every year in the 90s with a mix of music videos I saw on MTV as a kid and occasionally insert a Beavis and Butt-head reaction clip.

[@potts9274]

for tubthumping you have to switch the directions around- say up instead of down and down instead of up and the song becomes 10x better hahaha

[@marioalt9420]

Rebecca, I hope you get a lot of cheese from WatchMojo for carrying this whole channel, love your work! :)

[@davinp]

Six Flags Park used the Vengabus song in its commercial

[@paulhenderson8342]

Outhere Brothers Boom Boom Boom 😎👌

[@ManeLookHere]

Kris Kross is not a one hit wonder. They had three or four other top forty hits. Watchmojo, you know you can look this stuff up, right?

[@smalltownMainer]

the first one, i dont ever want to hear it again

[@alextownley9388]

I’m honestly disappointed “LOVEFOOL” isn’t on here lol

[@Kudeghraw]

You could probably find volumes of 1 hit wonders from the Alternative era. After Grunge blew its wad we ended up with all this weird music that could not be labeled so they just called it Alternative. Like Bjork. She successfully incorporated the Locrian mode into "Army of Me". The Locrian mode is tough because the last note screws it all up. She figured it out.

[@gshaunsweeney]

A few of these aren't one hit wonders.

[@GHOSTFIRE2944]

It's not a list of one hit wonders it's a list of cheesy songs

[@gshaunsweeney]

@@GHOSTFIRE2944 The title is Top 30 Cheesiest One Hit Wonders of the 1990s therefore they're supposed to be all one hit wonders per the title but they're not. If it was a list of just cheesy songs the title would have been Top 30 Cheesiest Songs of the 1990s

I was gonna say “Teenage Dirtbag”, but that was 2000. Just on the cusp.

That wasn’t a hit anyway; it didn’t chart on the hot 100.
