Gonna have to disagree with you on this one... absinthe_dot_ca June 8 2009, 16:35:35 UTC

The Ghostbusters theme may have been his only Number One hit on the "main" chart, but it wasn't his only time on the chart by a long shot, and he'd previously had a number one hit on the R&B chart. So he's not even close to a one-hit wonder. Here is a list of bigger one-hit wonders, IMHO...

Somebody always gotta bring up Dexy's Midnight Runner.

Re: Gonna have to disagree with you on this one... ludickid June 8 2009, 16:57:52 UTC

Yeah, he's not remotely a one-hit wonder. He had a ton of hits with his band Raydio (including two in the top ten), and he had eight Top 40 hits before "Ghostbusters" (three in the top ten) and two after "Ghostbusters".

Neither were Dexy's Midnight Runners

Overthinking It is celebrating Ghostbusters Week to honor the 25th anniversary. I'll have a post up on Thursday, but there's good content all week.

Shame would be wasted. Thanks for the link. Although I must say there are few websites as accurately titled.

But I wouldn't quantify those as great. Or, in the case of the first one, good.

I think it was actually a bigger hit for Huey Lewis, after the lawsuit...

Crass self-promotion:

Your crassness is always welcome.

Did you ever get the package I sent you, btw?

geekcreek June 8 2009, 22:57:59 UTC

I did indeed, homewrecker. :)

Thanks!
