"Desiderata" - Les Crane

Strangely, I thought of Deteriorata, immediately, but had to think a bit (about three hours lol) to come up with the real answer.
Spoiler:
Deteriorata

(National Lampoon)
(You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
Deteriorata, Deteriorata)

Go placidly amidst the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof. Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep. Rotate your tires. Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself; and heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys. Know what to kiss - and when. Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do. Wherever possible, put people on hold. Be comforted, that in the face of all irridity and disillusionment, and despite the changing fortunes of time, there is always a big future in computer maintenance.

(You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
Whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.)

Remember the Pueblo. Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate. Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI. Exercise caution in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you... That lemon on your left, for instance. Be assured that a walk through the seas of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet. Fall not in love, therefore, it will stick to your face. Gracefully surrender the things of youth: the birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan - and let not the sands of time get in your lunch. Hire people with hooks. For a good time, call 606-4311, ask for Ken. Take heart in the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese. And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee.

(You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
Whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.)

Therefore, make peace with your god, whatever you perceive him to be: hairy thunderer or cosmic muffin. With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal, the world continues to deteriorate. GIVE UP!

(You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
Whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.)


"I know something about love. You've gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood, go out and get him
If you want him to be the very part of you
That makes you want to breathe, here's the thing to do..."

Linda Rondstadt - Tell Him (it makes me die a little inside that I know this one)

"I would swallow my pride,
I would choke on the rines
But the lack thereof
would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt"

DS, Tell Him - The Exciters, remember, it's One Hit Wonder. Once you hear it though, DS, it's nearly impossible to forget, and it's been in my head since I put it here (talk about dying inside), so I needed to banish it.

"Inside Out" - Eve Six

I think it's "choke on the rinds". Unless "rines" means something, and I'm ignorant.

Short and sweet, in order to banish Tell Him (this song rocks if only because of this line):
"I wish I was in Tijuana
Eating barbecued iguana"

Stupid lyrics sheet had it as rines (when I had the album)... I think it was a misspelling. I always used to ask my SWMBO WTF a rine was. She did not know either.

Vind- Wall Of Voodoo "Mexican Radio"

I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them
And they're happy it's a lovely place to be
Happy that the fire is real the barman is a she
Where the haircuts smile
And the meaning of style
Is a night out with the boss
Where you win or you lose
And it's them who choose
And if you don't win then you've lost

Happy Hour-The Housemartins...

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
they tell me your passions gone away
And I don't need no carrying on

You stand in line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your lifes been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carrying on

^Bad Day.

I want to feel the sand beneath my feet
Breath the breathe of your fresh air
Feel the silence of this room
Lay in your bed when you're not there

Be the source of best advice
Your entire universe
Cause I love you too much to let you go out

Obviously we're too destructive
Fill your taste with romantics
It's in your blood to draw attention
Make the best of situations
Kiss me, I want you to hold me
It's in your blood to draw attention
Make the best of situations

It also doesn't count, because Linda Rondstadt had far more than one hit.

And since nobody's posted this one yet, you're all failures as human beings.

Are you ready Steve?
Uh-huh.
Andy?
Yeah.
Mick?
Okay.
Alright, fellas. Let's go!

Okay, back up. What definition of "One hit wonder" are we using? Because for a number of the songs trotted out so far, the bands had other "hits" if you define such as "breaking into the Billboard Top 40".

No, that was his More Cowbell apology.

Actually...

South Park Season 1. When the aliens actually come down and talk to the kids. They ask about cattle mutilations. They say something like "oh that is Carl he is new." and he says "Moo, moo moo." (sorry my bad)

Nobody posted it because Sweet (Ballroom Blitz) had more than one hit as well.

I dig this one...

"You've made me acknowledge the devil in me
I hope to God I'm talkin' metaphorically
Hope that I'm talkin' allegorically
Know that I'm talkin' about the way I feel"

edit: nm...now I'm not sure if this is technically a one-hit wonder.
