Oh, one hit wonders. You come out of nowhere. You tear up the charts like a gas-jacked mega mower and then you vanish. Their names you won't remember. Their faces are blurs. The songs, however, move into your brain and never really leave. And that's where we find...Sly Fox.

It's two guys, not that anybody cares, is Sly Fox, creators of the best set of lyrics in the history of recorded music, "zhum zhum zinny ninny." Damn, that's lovely.  And how all those "yeah, yeah, yeah"s and those droll, sing-songy "wheeeees?" Deep. Lovely. The duo of Gary "Mudbone" Cooper and Michael Camacho hit the charts in December of 1985, tearing into the mid-decade party dressed like this:

I mean, how could they not have a long, fruitful career? Instead of what happened, which is this song hit number seven, toes were tapped, school dances were danced, and then the duo was escorted to the back door of the club and kicked out of show business forever. FOREVER.

Also, some weird stuff went down with The Insane Clown Posse, really quite bizarre, and you can read that by clicking on the clown. Or, if you want, punching the clown.
