Top 20 Cheesiest One Hit Wonders of the 1990s 

What’s your favorite cheesy ‘90s hit? Let us know in the comments! Check out our featured song: "Signs" by Title Holder! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cPdCZZX-CCU.html

This is what was so great about the '90s, even the "cheesy" songs are amazing

Imagine living in a world where the cheesiest songs of two decades back are still better than the hits of the day.

I was never a fan of hip-hop, but I gotta admit that "Jump," "Whoomp! There It Is" and "Baby Got Back" are solid gold.

How is Return of the Mack not on here? The epicness of that song transcends time and is still a hit today.

As someone who grew up in the 90s, I still love a number of these songs.

I feel so lucky to have grown up in the 90’s! So many classic, damn good hits almost every year (never a dull party or skating night)! And many songs I’ll admit I still jam out to today.

Haha, was online gaming last week with friends and i got revived and started saying “i get knocked down, but i get up again! You’ll never gonna keep me down”, then we all started cracking up reminiscing on old songs…good times good times

Being a 90's baby, I am glad to had grown up while these were being made. I never heard Mr. Vain before though, but man, now I need to.

This WHOLE list took me back! To awkward parties that had the Macarena on an hourly rotation to school dances with euro dance tracks playing. ALL of these songs had a story to tell in my life... The memories.. THANK YOU!

I was expecting the _NOW That's What I Call Music! Vol. 1_ tracklist.

The fact that someone compared Right Said Fred singing “I’m too Sexy” to Elmer Fudd on Steroids! That had me BAWLING in Laughter! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

My favorite is Mambo No. 5 by Lou Bega. Beat, Rhythm, Lyrics, fun rattling off all those girls names in Karaoke.

Oh how I miss the 90s. Those were the best times ever. Can't we go back to then. Please!

I thought that “Good Vibrations” by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch would be on here. For sure!

I'm getting use to showing these videos to people and telling them "I was there when that came out, and it slapped." The joys of getting old.

I liked informer. Snow was good.

The great thing about the music of the '80s and '90s was it could be so unapologetically cheesy and be so great

What a great era to be alive ! Every single song brings back one memory and it’s amazing!!! Love it !! ❤️

In 1995 I was in the US Navy stationed in Japan. I missed out on almost all music between the beginning 95 to the end of 97. Never heard of the Macarena until I came back to the states. It’s something I’m greatly thankful to the Navy for to this day. Also Baby got back was hilarious because almost all the women in that video have zero ass.

Sir Mix-A-Lot was by no stretch of the imagination a “one hit wonder.”

This just makes me feel old. lol

I was in middle school when the Macarena came out. They pulled us out of classes TWICE to go to the gym to dance the Macarena. It was brutal.

Well here in the Netherlands Aqua itself had 4 hits, barbie girl, doctor jones, my oh my, turn back times. And Vengaboys itself had scored 9 hits here in the Netherlands in the top 40. With two numbers on 1 and three times even on number 2

I think of Vengaboys as a 2 hit wonder because I remember "Boom, Boom, Boom" being more overplayed than "We Like To Party" in my area and still think it's the better song.

Happy Easter everyone. Have to say that I liked them all. Always fun to watch. Great video

This list sums it up perfectly. I think one of the reasons we grew to dislike some of these songs was because you could not escape them. Take a decade or so off, and what was once annoying becomes endearing. Nice trip down memory lane here.

Btw , Snow actually said “I’ll lick your bum bum down” meaning he wants to kill the snitch lol

This is my entire childhood in one video

The best thing about the Macarena was the Animaniacs spoof of it.

7:50 - LEN was incredible, Steal my Sunshine still just one of the best beats out there!

I remember when Eiffel 65's album "Europop" first came out, my original copy accidently shattered in my backpack and I had to get it replaced. I still have that CD and listen to it every so often.

I don't see anythimg cheesy about these songs.

As a guy who lived through the 90s I must concede, the list is actually pretty accurate. There may be one or two artists missing like KLF for instance, but then again, this is pretty much the 1990s. Respect.

Wow, these are giving me flashbacks! Or maybe it was all the ecstasy I did in the 90s…🤔 Thanks for the memories, WM!

Missed one though. From what my uncle said MC Hammer's, "Hammer Time," was sometimes playing 12 or 13 times a day on the local radio. He told me, "it was like listening to the Frozen theme song for 8 days straight, eventually you want to pack your ears with super glue sometimes to get it to stop."🤣

As a kid I'd hear or watch many of these songs on TV and radio. They were another part of my childhood that I hope I never forget. The 90s were (to some including myself) a golden age. Baywatch Batman TAS X-Men and so on. Warm memories that will be remembered for many years to come.

I forgot how good Culture Beat’s “Mr. Vain” was.

Wow this took me back. Highschool dances and parties and definitely some bar hopping lol

Funny thing about Vanilla Ice, he’s a licensed contractor now whit his own show called “The Vanilla Ice Project”. He’s been a licensed contractor for 23 years

this is not at the top on the list okay As a kid I'd hear or watch many of these songs on TV and radio. They were another part of my childhood that I hope I never forget. The 90s were (to some including myself) a golden age. Baywatch Batman TAS X-Men and so on. Warm memories that will be remembered for many years to come. Wow, these are giving me flashbacks! Or maybe it was all the ecstasy I did in the 90s…Thanks for the memories, WM! Wow, this took me back. High school dances and parties and definitely some bar hopping lol Love it. It's a great list with awesome flashbacks I'm getting used to showing these videos to people and telling them "I was there when that came out, and it slapped." The joys of getting old. I forgot how good Culture Beat’s “Mr. Vain” was. The great thing about the music of the '80s and '90s was it could be so unapologetically cheesy and be so great I don't see anything cheesy about these songs. This is my entire childhood in one 3 Chips on video is not good in that 3 movies are too much in the episode okay in New York is bo Crad is not good live-action for today just comes out now playing. This just makes me feel old. lol Other cheesiest one-hit wonders of the 90s did we miss: Spin Doctors - Two Princes Shawn Colvin - Sunny Came Home Brooklyn Bounce - Get Ready to Bounce Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight Livin' Joy - Don't Stop Moving Ini Kamozer - Here Comes the Hotstepper Dionne Farris - I Know Groove Theory - Tell Me The Verve Pipe - The Freshmen Big Mountain - Baby I Love Your Way Jennifer Paige - Crush etc. The thing about Chumbawumba's Tubthumper is that when I came home from work, I heard my brother's stereo that had on an alternative rock station with some guy talking about Tubthumper and how it is the same song when played in reverse. And he actually played part of the song backward. First off, how in the world could he play the song backward when you have no turntable and a vinyl record? After he played the song he says something like, See, same damn song. Those were his words. You know, I thought I read something about the Macarena making its debut in Mexico in 1993. In 1994, I went to Mexico with my sister, my mom, and my sister. I could have sworn I heard a song on the radio in one of the little stores in Mexico. I kept hearing some guy with a double-tracked vocal singing and every time he would stop, some weird sound would go AAAHYI!!! Boy, you know you're witnessing pop culture history when you're hearing someone on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve talking about the history of dance crazes like The Twist and other stuff and the latest dance craze is the Macarena. I remember when Eiffel 65's album "Europop" first came out, my original copy accidentally shattered in my backpack and I had to get it replaced. I still have that CD and listen to it every so often. I was in middle school when the Macarena came out. They pulled us out of classes TWICE to go to the gym to dance the Macarena. It was brutal. They are also massive in Europe and Asia with multiple number-one songs (“My Oh My”, “Doctor Jones”, “Turn Back Time” etc).

One of these days, I'm going to a fast food establishment and ordering "Combo #5" as if I were Lou Bega.

Whatch Mojo, I know the answer to the age old question of "What is love?" and it's right there. "Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more!"

Oh man! I seriously knew the words to everyone of these songs 😂

Most of these are on my "One Hit Wonder" playlist, but that entire Aqua album is awesome, fun, and hilarious, and also resulted in some all-time classic music videos

Aqua had another Top 40 hit in the US with “Lollipop (Candyman)” which peaked at number #23 in the Billboard Hot 100 in 1998. They are also massive in Europe and Asia with multiple number one songs (“My Oh My”, “Doctor Jones”, “Turn Back Time” etc).

God that brings back some memories - I was in high school in the 90s! Damn!

I remember Rico Suave appearing on Vh1’s 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever, and one guy from the show put it best saying: “it’s just so ridiculous & so absurd & so slimy & greasy, it really makes you wanna just wash your hands after you hear that song.”

this list brings back so many memories....

Cotton eyed joe was like an alarm to visit the bar for another drink waiting for it ti end lol

Vanilla Ice & Shaq will always have a place in my heart ❤ in the 90s gotta love it 😆

90's eurodance is overfilled with cheese, but I love it. DJ BoBo and Scooter forever remain my ultimate guilty pleasure

I never got fed up with Mmmbop. It's one of my sounds of the summer. It made me feel old a few years ago, seeing them give an interview where the brothers talked about touring and singing the song with their kids. The funny thing about Chumbawumba for me is their next single was called Amnesia. And then everyone forgot about them... I only remember the chorus because of saying that quip to people. "Do you suffer from long term memory loss? I don't remember..." The sad thing about Aqua for me was only having big hits with their most cartoony stuff, because they did Turn Back Time from Sliding Doors, which showed they had the music to match the darker lyrics they had as well. It showed they could do ballads and they were just as good as the more upbeat tracks. They deserved more credit for it. As for the Macarena, I'm glad to learn this was a different version after all, I was sure the song we know sounded different as a kid. No Mandela Effect for me!

I could always understand SNOW and even my mom liked him and she'd often ask me if I understood him and was amazed I could sing along. LOL

German here. when I first talked to an american whos a good friend now, my english wasnt that good in that time. On day we were on a Party and we talked. He asked: Whats up, and i said :I´m a little blue ,and he asked, oh why are you upset? So People who know English and German realize the Misunderstanding now. While beeing blue in english means, you are upset, beeing blue in german means, you are tipsy. So beeing in a club dancing to I´m Blue, da be de, makes totally sense for a german. You are a little tipsy in a club ;-)

These songs weren’t so cheesy in their day and that’s why you know of them now. Keep it 💯 Mojo

All this nostalgia is making me cry. Thanks a lot mojo 😭

I was in LA during the 90s and had the best time ever! The Viper room, the recording studio, the carefree fun (not the riots!), but we had a blast!

Los Del Río are actually from Spain, not Latin, and I howled with laughter when it was the song that defeated Van Helsing and won over the kraken in the movie Hotel Transylvania 3

Miss the 90s

Just because the songs are cheesy doesn't make them less popular😁

Oh ! You’ve made me feel soooooooo old ! LOL Hadn’t heard of some of these songs as I’m not an American, but I remember dancing my butt off to them in my 20’s ! Some of my favourites were Corona, Snap!, Urban Cookie Collective !

We Like to Party was also a big hit for Six Flags. Most people these days remember the song from the commercials.

Vengabus’ “We Like To Pary.” Haddaway’s “What Is Love.” 😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

If you're really into "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65, I highly recommend listening to their other hit, "Move Your Body." And yes, it's exactly how it sounds. Like the former track, lots of repetition in the chorus. Still awesome to me tho, lol. "Blue are the streets and all the trees are too, I have a girlfriend and she is so blue."

I can't help seeing the old man in glasses dancing when hearing the Vengabus song. I think it was a Great America theme park commercial

The most 90's thing about the Marcy Playground video is the abundance of Chanel Vamp nail polish hands!!!

I have issues with the term "One Hit Wonder" when the artist or group have more than one hit wonders in their repertoire.

Hanson has been a group for almost 30 years and are still going strong touring and releasing new music. And now they are all married with kids of their own. Isaac has 3 kids, Taylor has 7 kids, and Zac has 5 kids.

Thanks for this video mix it brought back memories of my son's growing up n the fun we had trying to dance to the beat

Never heard of the Len group, either. But the amazing vocals on "Mr Vain" always make me want to sing every time I hear the song and sometimes without it.

The Vengaboys were no one hot wonder. From ‘97 til now they’ve released a lot of hits and toured the world.

None of these songs were cheesy. All these songs are still the shit😌

Whoomp was so unsuccessful they had to sell out to Barry Sonnenfeld so he could put it in the Addams Family 2.

Marcy Playground was awesome. Spectacular songwriting, very interesting lyrics, with just the right amount of weirdness. If you've never listened to anything beyond Sex and Candy, there are three or four albums with terrific music waiting for you. Joan Osborne also had some REALLY powerful stuff.

I don’t consider Sex and Candy cheesy. I never heard that genre name before you used it and love it. Post-Grunge. Otherwise, excellent list.

Informer by snow has been one of my favs ever since I heard it wayy back in 2nd grade! Such a bop😁

Viewing your video feels like embarking on an evocative time-travel adventure, enabling us to revisit the opulence of Hollywood's past and celebrate the remarkable achievements of these actors in today's context.

The first time I heard Macarena (circa 1998), I knew the song would never go away. The YMCA of its time.

90s "Cheesy" One hit wonders>>>>>>>>>Most current "hits".

This should be titled just "Hits from the 90s".

Macarena is one of those songs which I have danced to the most in my childhood in 90s

You forgot to add that Vanilla Ice's ice ice baby opening music, was actually stolen from Queens under pressure and he got taken to court for it.

Good work on your new top 20 list. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What is love? The feeling you get when thinking of this song and thinking about the SNL Sketch lol

"Ice Ice Baby" is how many were introduced to Queen's "Under Pressure," too, which is very sad.

OK, I have to point out that Hanson was not technically a one-hit-wonder (even in the U.S.), even if MMMBop is the only hit of theirs a lot of people remember. They've had three Top 20 US Hot 100 singles and eight UK Top 40 singles. From just their debut album, "Middle of Nowhere", other hits besides MMMBop included: "Where is the Love" was #6 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40., "I Will Come to You" was #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100,. In other countries they had other hits from their debut along with hits from later albums.

Who cares if your first or second can we take a moment and just enjoy these one hit wonders from the 90's that we all miss and want to go back I know I do

I thought Vanilla Ice was cheesy AF when it came out. But when I hear it today it doesn't seem nearly as bad. Shit 99% of pop is cringe shit anyhow

Love it ❤ great list with awesome flashbacks 👏

That version of Cotton Eyed Joe is my text message alert. Lol love it!

to be honest, i liked every song in this list back then....greetings from switzerland

Cheesy song = catchy earworms

Ah 1990. As a mulatto in late 80s listening to RunDMC and others, no one but me listened to hip hop. Then i went to boot camp in 1990, and came out of it to find the world was singing Ice Ice Baby lol. Pleasant culture shock.

I'm kind of disappointed that Tubthumper didn't make the list. During the 1996 NFL season, a radio station in Green Bay came up with a Packer related parody of Macarena and called it Packarena.

Where the time machine is going to be invented,i wanna go back to the 90's.

I think it would be great if you all created a playlist of these music videos when you do these... If it's possible cause I bet a bunch of people would sit down and watch them

Snow's "Informer" because it is Canadian, still gets played here. Heard twice in the past week.
