"Nobody Knows" by Tony Rich Project (f/Johnny Yetsconish) Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

Return guest Johnny Yetsconish has an impressive track record of choosing the very best sad songs to discuss on One Hit Thunder. He keeps his streak alive this week by picking “Nobody Knows” by The Tony Rich Project. This relatable R&B jam took over the airwaves in 1996, but Tony quickly faded away from the mainstream soon after. Did we figure out why, or does nobody know it but him? Stay tuned to find out.

"Come Baby Come" by K7 Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

Our Patreon really swung for the fences by choosing K7’s 1993 hit “Come Baby Come” as the song we’re diving into this week. Did you know that K7 was just one guy, and not the name of the group of four men who seem to be featured in every music video? Neither did we. And in this episode, we REALLY try to determine if this song is about beckoning a woman to come closer, OR if it really IS just about bodily fluids. Stay tuned to find out if we slam the door on K7, or if he made us “come baby come baby baby come come” back for more.

"Three Little Pigs" by Green Jellÿ (f/Matt Jurcevich) Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

In 1993, the band Green Jellÿ had an unlikely Top 20 hit with their song “Three Little Pigs”, which was a twisted, rockin’ version of a story that we’re all familiar with from childhood. A crudely animated yet unforgettable music video helped launch this song into the stratosphere, and it has remained lodged in many of our brains for 30 years now. This week, we’re joined by Another Cheetah guitarist Matt Jurcevich to discuss whether we should all let Green Jellÿ in, or if we need to call Rambo to take care of this wild one hit wonder.

"Back in the Day" by Ahmad (f/Norman Sann) Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

Norman Sann is our guest this week, and if you haven’t checked him out on TikTok yet, you’re missing out on relatable verses with wordplay that often taps into nostalgia from our own childhoods. That being said, it’s no surprise that Norman chose Ahmad’s 1994 single “Back In The Day” to discuss this week. Should we all be diving deeper into Ahmad’s catalog, or should we just leave HIM back in the day? Lace up your British Knights and grab a Tootsie Pop, because we’re about to find out.

"Hooch" by Everything Jun 15, 2022

Show notes

What better way to spiritually connect to your ancestors than by sittin’ around a fire, sippin’ on some moonshine, and listenin’ to the 1998 single “Hooch” by the band Everything? Our Patreon sure thought it sounded like a good idea, because they voted for it. But do we think “Hooch” is the sweetest thing in the world, or does it leave a bitter taste in our mouths? Stick around to find out everything you ever wanted to know about Everything.

"Baby's Coming Back" by Jellyfish (f/Scott Klopfenstein) Jun 08, 2022

Show notes

First time guest Scott Klopfenstein came in HOT for his debut appearance, ready to discuss quite possibly the most heartbreaking casualty of the grunge era. The lush compositions and Willy Wonka inspired look of Jellyfish lacked only one thing: timing. Had they existed a few years earlier or later, the band’s trajectory may have been unstoppable. Instead, they got washed away by a sea of flannel and apathy. Is Jellyfish the baby we wish would come back? Stick around to find out.

"Potential Breakup Song" by Aly & AJ (f/Matthew Milligan) Jun 01, 2022

Show notes

Matthew Milligan is BACK…this time, to talk teen pop music, Radio Disney, and meta songwriting with “Potential Breakup Song” by Aly & AJ. Does taking too long to call a significant other on their birthday really deserve the vengeful song treatment? Aly & AJ MIGHT think so (hence the “potential” in the song title), but do we agree? Stay tuned to find out.

"F**k It (I Don't Want You Back)" by Eamon (f/Jim Logrando) May 25, 2022

Show notes

In the early 2000s, cussing was still considered shocking. Nowadays, everyone from toddlers to great-grandmas are dropping F-bombs and C-words like they aren’t even cusses. In 2004, Staten Island ho-wop singer Eamon knew that the days of having a hit song purely because of swear words were almost over, so he took a big swing and hit a homerun with “F**k It (I Don’t Want You Back)”. No matter how many bad words he based entire songs around after that though, he could never match the success again. This week, we’re joined by Jim Logrando to determine if we ourselves actually DO want Eamon and his filthy mouth back.

"What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes (f/Jonathan London) May 18, 2022

Show notes

This week’s episode was recorded live during a charity livestream on the Geekscape YouTube channel. We’re joined by Geekscape founder Jonathan London to discuss “What’s Up?” by 4 Non Blondes, a polarizing song that either has you plugging your ears or screaming along. The band’s career might have been short-lived, but lead singer Linda Perry’s songwriting career has been a beautiful party. Should 4 Non Blondes have took a deep breath, got real high, and made another album though? We figure out what’s going on in this episode.
