The Buggles : Video Killed The Radio Star
This song pretty much cemented it’s place in history by being the first video ever played on MTV. I’m not sure if when they wrote it, they would know that it would become such a hit, or if they tailor … Continue reading
A-Ha : Take on Me
Well, yesterday was One-Hit Wonder day, not sure why there’s a One-Hit Wonder day, but I thought I would post one of my favorite One-Hit Wonders, and one of the greatest ever. I know that I had posted the cover … Continue reading

The Rakes : 22 Grand Job
This is another case of me coming to the party late. It’s a bit of an old song, but the way I discovered it was Lethal Bizzle did a remix where he raps over it. And I really liked that, … Continue reading
Foo Fighters : Baker Street (Gary Rafferty Cover)
Although, you might not recognize the name of the song name or Gary Rafferty, you definitely know the song. It contains one of the most recognizable sax riffs ever. While the Foo’s have replaced the sax with a guitar riff, … Continue reading
