“The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)” by The Tokens (f/ Robert Bacon)
You’d be hard pressed to find someone of ANY age who isn’t familiar with “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” This timeless 1961 single from the Brooklyn doo-wop group The Tokens is one of the most fun songs ever to sing along with, and its legacy spans from the top of the charts to Disney film soundtracks. Unfortunately, the song’s original writer Solomon Linda wasn’t properly credited or compensated until more recent years, long after his passing. In fact, despite the song’s massive and unending popularity, his family couldn’t even afford a tombstone when he died. This week, we’re joined by One Hit Thunder favorite Robert Bacon to journey into the jungle of this classic track.

“According to You” by Orianthi
By the time that Australian guitar virtuoso Orianthi was a teenager, she was sharing stages with legends such as Steve Vai and Carlos Santana. After relocating to Los Angeles, she not only signed to Geffen, but was also recruited to become Michael Jackson’s lead guitarist. It was during this career whirlwind that she released “According to You,” a pop rock single that at certain moments showcased her shredding abilities. The song was a modest hit, but Orianthi never achieved mainstream chart success again. The question is: does she even care? This week, we dive into the life and career of a musician who seems happy to live the exciting life of a sought-after hired gun.

“Would I Like To You?” by Charles & Eddie
A chance subway encounter between two singers with a shared love of Marvin Gaye led to a major label contract and the hit song “Would I Lie To You?”, a soulful early 90s hit with an unforgettable chorus. Charles & Eddie cracked the Top 20 in the US, but the throwback sound of the single helped them top the charts in Canada and overseas. After one more album and some soundtrack placements, however, the duo disbanded and went their separate ways. In this episode, we explore the fascinating careers of Charles Pettigrew and Eddie Chacon, both before and after their short and successful time together.

“Our House” by Madness
We start a lot of episodes by apologizing to our listeners in the UK, so we’ll go ahead and do that again…we realize that Madness were breaking UK singles chart records in the 80s, and yet we’re still calling them one hit wonders on our show. Here’s the thing though: we’re dumb Americans, and here in the US, they DID only have one hit. “Our House” went to #7 on the Hot 100 in 1983, and apparently, we couldn’t even handle the actual album it was on…we instead needed our own compilation of the band’s greatest hits. Have no fear though, listeners, as here at One Hit Thunder, we grew up on the ska-punk of the 90s, and we realize the importance and influence of this long-running English band. This week, we’ll dive into “Our House” (which we believe is one of the greatest songs of the 80s), and we’ll even go one step beyond that.
