Reel Big Fish - One Hit Wonderful Lyrics






Fourteen minutes and fifty-nine seconds into our fifteen minutes of fame
When the luck runs out, I won't wonder who's to blame
Because nobody said they had a guaranteed way
to win the hearts of the public who are easily swayed
And just this time last year, I thought we had it made

We were One Hit Wonderful
Livin' the life, playin' the role
We were One Hit Wonderful
Well, it can't last long
They don't love you
They just love that one song

Well, things don't last long in life; that's how it goes
They'll smile and applaud, then turn up their nose
Things will shrink as quickly as they've grown
But it's perfectly normal for us to ask why
The company wasn't untrue, they just didn't try
And a new career is born. It will eventually die

We were One Hit Wonderful
Livin' the life, playin' the role
We were One Hit Wonderful
Well, it can't last long
They don't love you
They just love that one song
That one song...
That one song

So many lovely melodies
So many messages to convey
But they don't care about any of these
"Play that one damn song!" is what they say

We were One Hit Wonderful
Livin' the life, playin' the role
We were One Hit Wonderful
Well, it can't last long
They don't love you
Oh, no!
We were One Hit Wonderful
Livin' the life, playin' the role
We were One Hit Wonderful
Well, it can't last long
They don't love you
They just love that one song

Reel Big Fish One Hit Wonderful Comments

    Songs I prefer by Reel Big Fish to Sell Out include:

    - Good Thing
    - Valerie
    - Ban the Tube Top
    - Dateless Losers
    - Thank You For Not Moshing
    - Where Have You Been
    - Suckers

    Pretty much everything on "Cheer Up" is better than "Sell Out." Yet, grocery store PA systems don't seem to understand that.

    D.... S....

    Cheer Up is an amazing album. I still love me some WDTRSH

    D.... S....

    What grocery store do they play ANY RBF?

    D.... S....

    That is because Cheer Up isn't a ska album. its a punk rock band with horns. RBF went back to their roots after it thankfully.

    D.... S....

    My unfinished project...

    There is something intolerable as an artist, when you create and people only care about something you did ages ago.

    E.... W....

    I know the feeling. On my DeviantArt page, everyone loves the sketch "No Good Deed Goes Acknowledged," rendered with The Sims 3. To the point that I am relieved whenever anything else gets the attention it deserves.

  3. K.... ....

    Sorry do you have "Last Show"?? I cant find that song :/

  4. f.... ....

    I wonder if anyone ever if anyone ever made a full cover version like that?

    Better to be one hit wonderful than no hit at all.

    @dstodart
    definitely, they have so many songs i absolutely love, like enough that i would rate ten out of ten that i cant fit them all on one mix cd for my car :P

  19. D.... S....

    @mastersporeo oh I completely agree! It's a good tune but their album Cheer Up and this album... some of the best songs I've ever heard, and they always get better

  20. R.... ....

    man, sell out isnt even in my top five favorite reel big fish songs. i mean its a great song, but seriously, this band is one of my favorite of all time; and in my book, theyre a hell of a lot more than one hit wonderful.
