One Hit Wonder

from Kaboomba! by Johnny Acecraft

lyrics

I wanna be a one hit wonder, wanna get to the top and then I wanna go under, wanna be known for a song you hear so many times it'll make you chunder. Wanna be a one hit wonder, like a flash in the pan or a rumble of thunder, wanna be big for a gig then leg it with a stash of cash to the distant tundra. Wanna taste fame, wanna feature in your frame, want my name to be admissible in the name game. I wanna go far, wanna live five-star, want caviar, flashy car, twelve-string guitar. I insist on my fifteen minutes, I'm in it to win it, I don't care if you bag it and bin it. I want a quick go at being someone people know so let's get on with the show. I wanna be a one hit wonder, wanna smash radio playlists asunder, wanna be hip for a bit then quit with one hit to my credit and a mountain of plunder. I wanna have a one hit wonder like Tubthumping by Chumbawumba: years in the underground cultivating sound all wrecked in a second thanks to one pop blunder. I wanna get knocked down, and I wanna stay down, I don't wanna keep clowning around. I wanna have one hit, and that's it, and then I'm gonna get out of town. I want a brief litmus test of the dizzy heights of pop success. I'll stick around while I'm renowned then I'll bugger off for a well-earned rest. I am the god of pop muzik, and I bring you pop muzik, and when you’re the god of pop muzik, use it and abuse it.
