When a tornado hits Beaver Falls, it’s time for Belvedere to start breaking windows! In this Season 2 episode (which originally aired four days before Bruno Mars was born), Mr. Belvedere’s missteps don’t end with his terrible decision to start smashing glass…in fact, one of his missteps is right onto George’s foot when he decides to rewrite George’s article, unbeknownst to Mr. Owens himself.

“Here Comes the Hotstepper” by Ini Kamoze
Over the course of the past 300+ episodes of One Hit Thunder, the 1994 #1 single “Here Comes the Hotstepper” has come up in conversation many times, and every single time, it’s been a real joy to hear Matt stumble over the pronunciation of the artist’s name. That Jamaican reggae singer would be Ini Kamoze, and it was his collaboration with producer Salaam Remi and some irresistible interpolations within the song that helped take it to the top of the charts. The success led to a seven-album deal with Elektra, but we’re left here still waiting for most of those. This week, we’ll try to figure out what went wrong for the lyrical gangsta, and if we still love him like that.

“Disco Duck” by Rick Dees And His Cast Of Idiots (f/ Matt Doherty)
You might recognize the name Rick Dees as the guy who ran down The Weekly Top 40 for decades. What you might NOT know is that he himself once held the top spot on those very charts. In 1976, Rick was a Memphis AM radio host, searching for ANYTHING to fill the airwaves and entertain listeners. A chance encounter with a guy at the gym who could do a passable duck impression paired with a then-bubbling music revolution led to “Disco Duck,” a song that has since become an outdated punchline but once was a multi-million selling phenomenon. This week, we’re joined by writer, actor, and director Matt Doherty (who got his start as a noteworthy Duck himself) to explore one of novelty music’s most historic moments.

“Sleep Walk” by Santo & Johnny (f/ Paul Menotiades)
Do you think that the fact that a song is an instrumental from 1959 is gonna stop us from discussing it on One Hit Thunder? Definitely not, especially if you’re referring to Santo & Johnny’s classic single “Sleep Walk.” You might not know the name of the song or the duo who wrote it, but you FOR SURE know the haunting steel guitar melody. This week, we’re joined by Punchline guitarist and vocalist Paul Menotiades to dive into what he claims might be his favorite song ever.

“Headstrong” by Trapt
The band Trapt had a moment in late 2003. The song “Headstrong” is a what a person who doesn’t listen to heavy music might consider heavy, and it captured the attention of the mainstream for a minute. In a sea of countless radio rock band that more or less sounded the same, Trapt could’ve easily maintained a career of decent tours and festivals based on the success of “Headstrong” alone. Their vocalist, however, had other ideas of how they should make their mark…a string of hateful internet posting on the band’s accounts. What followed was OBVIOUSLY the whiny cries of “cancel culture” affecting the band’s career, as “consequences” was apparently not something he was prepared for. This week, our Patreon chose to punish us by making us dive into the life and times of Trapt. Thanks a lot, Patreon!
