We should or not sing these songs. These songs make us sing whether we should or not. Even though we don't know why, we know all the words even though we don't know why. They're the songs groups of friends who will burst out in chorus together and make memories, too. Movie soundtracks are adored by movie buffs. Wedding dances are adored by wedding dancers. They're all adore them!
The true kicker is that the artists or groups made us swoon only once.. They faded away after that. Some continued with modest success. Others stayed with modest success. Some, on the other hand, were never heard of again, musically.

One-hit wonder FAQ
Are one-hit wonders limited to music? Q. Is one-hit wonders limited to music?
No. A. No. A. No. About every area of achievement, the term "one-hit wonder" refers to almost every area of achievement. A one-hit wonder may be an actor with a singularly good season but no one repeats it. The term may also refer to movies, books, and products. If they only produce one hit movie or television show, actors and producers of film may be deemed one-hit wonders. The same goes for writers. Businesses that make it big off one inspiring product may never produce another profitable product or fail to develop their company into long-term success.
Is there such a thing as a two-hit wonder?
Yes, but they don't seem to get as much credit as their cousin with one hit. Some even took a decade or more to produce the popular second hit. Does that make them a one-time one-hit wonder?
