Whilst witnessing a near triumph of hope over experience, I seriously contemplated going out for the one hit wonders game.
Luckily, I came to my senses while imagining a list of questions that looked remarkably similar to the recap.
If BT wants to become a marketing firm they should simply do so.
Does anyone really want to take the time out of their schedules to attend entertainment-themed games written by burgeoning hipsters who think the music business started with the internet or that Joe Pesci's claim to cinematic fame was Gone Fishin'?

Scores for Ski Resort Topix were pathetic. How bad were the questions?

Below is a recap of One Hit Wonders topix game. Multiple choice made this much easier since each artist only had one hit (for the most part):

1) Who had a hit in 2006 with “Crazy”? Gnarls Barkley
2) Who had a hit with “Futures So Bright, Gotta Wear Shades”? Timbuk 3 (1986)
3) Who had hit in 2011 with “Call Me Maybe”? Carly Rae Jepsen ( I called her, no answer)
4) Who had hit with “One of Us”? Joan Osborne (1996)
5) Foster the People had hit with: Pumped Up Kicks (2010)
6) Who had hit with “A Thousand Miles”? Vanessa Carlton (2002)
7) The Waitresses had a hit with: I Know What Boys Like (1982)
8) Who had hit with “Somebody That I Used to Know”? Goyte (2011)
9) Butthole Surfers had a hit with? Pepper (1996)
10) Who had hit with “Who Let the Dogs Out”? Baha Men (how did this song get on radio, 2000)
11) Daniel Powter’s lyrics, blah blah rain… Bad Day (2006)
12) Who had hit with “Wherever You Will Go” in 2001? The Calling
13) Who had hit with “Sorry” in 2007? Buckcherry (um, Crazy Bitch)
14) Who had another remake hit with “Sukiyaki”? 4 P.M. (1995)
15) What are opening lyrics to “ I Try” ? Games, changes, and fear (dammit) (2000)

Summary: 2000-2011: 10, 1990-1999: 3, 1982-1989: 2, 1900-1981: 0

Seems a little soon to call some of these folks one hit wonders, but I’m predicting they’re spot on with Goyte :o


I had a 9,999 score on that game. I was really rolling for awhile, but when our very smart bartender who had given me every answer got busy at the other end of the bar my chance at glory was doomed.
