You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
It's kind of obnoxious but the lyrics are so hilariously inane that I can't help but appreciate them

I figured someone would say something like that. :P
Was that a one hit wonder, Todd In The Shadows should cover it
I dunno how interesting an episode LFO would make. I mean, you can get a surprising amount of interest out of the likes of Debbie Boone and Iron Butterfly, and Chumbawamba and Dexy's Midnight Runners are just fascinating in their own rights, but they all had, y'know, history.

The best OHW episodes are ones where the band either (a) had a successful but low-key career before the hit song, or (b) had a successful but low-key career (usually in some other country) after the hit song...

Absolutely, although calling Chumbawamba's career "low-key" might be a stretch for nine anarchists barnstorming EMI and then turning into a folk band. But either way, they had a real lifespan as a band.
Rockwell was interesting for almost the opposite reason. Guy is like a weirdly privileged cypher.
I'll admit that Todd's recent "Turning Japanese" review amused me because of how obvious it was that he'd rather talk about The Jam for 15 minutes instead.

>Implying that Iron Butterfly should not be interesting
There aren't many boy bands that would make a good One-Hit Wonderland video, since the ones that have history have hits, and the ones that didn't, well...being pre-fabricated means there's very little to cover.
^^ Their early career, yes, but they were never the greatest of songwriters. That said, the sheer entropy of their later years has its own fascination.

eww

I do not disagree, my love.

Frankly, I don't blame him on that.
