Sabah kalktığımda aklıma birden Lambada şarkısı geldi. 80′li yılları 90′lı yıllara bağlayan döneme damgasını vurmuş, genç kızlar arasında yeni bir akım başlatmış bu şarkıyı söyleyen grup (Kaoma) ne olmuştur şu an diye düşünürken, bu şarkının da bir one hit wonder olduğunu, yani tek hitle ünlenip yok olan grupların o hit parçası olduğunu öğrenmiş bulundum. Kısa bir araştırmadan sonra, bizim gönlümüzü çalan bu tip çok şarkı olduğunu da gördüm. Ünlü Amerikan müzik kanalı VH1′in yaptığı, 80′li yılların en iyi 100 One Hit Wonder’ı listesini de böylece paylaşmak istedim..
