KD in CA Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 What would Bob Marley and the Wailers be? One Love Honorable mention and personal favorite: No Woman, No Cry. I wouldn't say the popular: I Shot the Sheriff since Clapton did it with mord success. One Love?? Who are you, the white guy with dreadlocks and an Ed Hardy shirt at a preppy New England college? The correct answer is: Jammin’. Waiting In Vain gets an honorable mention. And I can't believe no one mentioned I Know What Boys Like by The Waitresses. . Barney: I Love You, You Love Me Dora the Explorer, The Map: I'm the Map Raffi: Apples and Bananas Kermit the Frog: Rainbow Connection The Wiggles: Cold Spaghetti I am shaking with laugher right now. "I'm The Map" will now be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Paper Lace The night Chicago died - whoever sang it, I'm not motivate to look it up, but I'd say it's definitely their signature song Three Little Birds or Redemption Song would be my choice(s) One Love?? Who are you, the white guy with dreadlocks and an Ed Hardy shirt at a preppy New England college? The correct answer is: Jammin’. Waiting In Vain gets an honorable mention. And I can't believe no one mentioned I Know What Boys Like by The Waitresses. . I am shaking with laugher right now. "I'm The Map" will now be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Thanks! I like how they define the phrase http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 One Love?? Who are you, the white guy with dreadlocks and an Ed Hardy shirt at a preppy New England college? The correct answer is: Jammin’. Waiting In Vain gets an honorable mention. LOL. Wasn't Jammin' his first commercial hit in the US? I wouldn't consider mainstream America to be his sig sound. It is totally... One Love... Heck, it is probably the national song in Jamaica... Heck, the song goes back to ska roots. Paper Lace Three Little Birds or Redemption Song would be my choice(s) I like how they define the phrase http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_song Three Little Birds... Great song... But come on... I would put Is This Love as more a sig sound. Bob Marley is hard to pin considering he was right there in the creation of raggae from its ska roots... Totally has to be One Love... It predates all his other songs by 10 years or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I like how they define the phrase http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_song I had no idea that wiki would have an entry for this. And, I like this part: The difference from a one-hit wonder The term signature song is generally not applied to the successful song of a so-called one-hit wonder, an artist who is closely identified with one song because they have had no other successful songs So, stop with your I Ran By Flock of Seagulls crap!

KD in CA Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 A Flock of Seagulls had another hit: Space Age Love Song. And it was a much better song than I Ran. Flock of Seagulls was not a one hit wonder. 'Cars' by Gary Numan was a one hit wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) I never heard of that nor the "other" Men without Hats song that Joe mentioned. Kinda catchy. They also show real awareness of china, talking about the cultural revolution's gang of four and calls for revolution which pre-dated tieneman square by almost 20 years Edited July 10, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
