One Hit Wonder Day: What One Hit Matches Your Zodiac Sign

Today is National One-Hit Wonder Day. It’s the day to celebrate Kajagoogoo, The Knack, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Toni Basil, Ylvis, and so many other one-hit wonders, who left their mark on music. Thanks to Ylvis, we actually now know what the fox says!

If you were wondering which one-hit wonder fits you best, based on your zodiac sign – and why wouldn’t you wonder, right? Well, there are a couple cool lists out there – that match up a one-hit wonder to your zodiac sign.

What One Hit Wonder Matches Your Zodiac Sign

Here’s a fun look at you, and your Zodiac sign, by song. No, not real scientific – just fun. Does the one hit wonder match your sign?

Aries: “Cum on Feel the Noize”,  Quiet Riot:  Aries are bold and confident. This song is an in-your-face, fist-pumping banger.

Taurus: “American Boy”,  Estelle: Taureans are sensual romantics. So the idea of falling for someone from another country makes for a beautiful love story.

Gemini: “Bulletproof”, La Roux:  Gemini is supposedly the most bulletproof sign. They are able to see multiple perspectives, and can shrug things off like they’re nothing. Good or bad.

Cancer: “Cake by the Ocean”,  DNCE:  Cancers are protective, and are like a crab when it comes to intimacy. Often with lots of sidestepping.

Leo: “I’m Too Sexy”, Right Said Fred:  Leo’s are not modest, and like to be in the spotlight. ‘I’m Too Sexy’ is the anthem of self-wordhip.

Virgo: “Sweater Weather”, The Neighbourhood: Virgos are practical, and logical. They like sweater weather, and the romantic idea of standing on the beach when it’s too cold to actually swim. Just look out the ocean, fully satisfied – then leave.

Libra: “Smooth Criminal”, Alien Ant Farm: Libras are social, self-indulgent, and charming. Some say they are so good at being charming, that you almost feel the need to thank them after robbing you.

Scorpio: “Hit ‘Em Up Style”, Blu Cantrell: Scorpio is the sign of sex, passion, and punishment – yikes! Scorpio will definitely pay back, and punish a cheating partner – in whatever way it takes.

Sagittarius: “Tubthumping”,  Chumbawamba:  Sagittarians are eternal optimists, and just want to have a good time all of the time. Basically what the song is about.

Capricorn: “Black Velvet”,  Alannah Myles:  This song was sung by a Capricorn, about a Capricorn (Elvis).  Capricorns are hardworking, and focused on what they want.

Aquarius: “Blue (Da Ba Dee)”,  Eiffel 65:  Aquarians are independent, and progressive thinkers. This song literally sounds like a stream of consciousness.

Pisces: “Because I Got High”,  Afroman: “Pisces are creative, imaginative, and artistic. So, why not Afroman’s anthem!

So pick your favorite one hit wonder song, and play it over, and over, and over…

5 Fictional Bands From Movies And TV We Wish Were Real

Some of the greatest bands of all time are actually fictional bands from movies and TV shows. If only we could actually see them perform live!

Over the years, there have been countless movies and TV shows focusing on bands that aren’t actually real. Sometimes, it’s quite obvious and comical, while other times, you might have had no idea it wasn’t about a real band. They can be grounded in reality or over the top–there are examples of it all in your favorite pieces of entertainment. However, can we all agree we wish these five fictional bands from movies and TV were real?

What Are The Best Fictional Bands From TV And Movies?

Recently, I shared some examples of fictional food from movies and shows that look delicious. Now, it’s time for some fictional bands. Not only are there shows and movies about fake bands, but there have also been several songs that were made specifically for these works of art. One of my favorite examples is “Scotty Doesn’t Know” from the movie EuroTrip. It became a hit classic, but it’s actually from a real band–so it can’t make the list. Granted, the real band doesn’t have Matt Damon on vocals, but I count them as non-fiction, nonetheless.

We’ve seen fictional bands in comedies, mockumentaries, dramas, and even in some animated shows. It can be a great way to create comedic situations or to parallel what real bands go through without having to worry about securing a band’s rights or anything. I imagine that can be quite the process when you could simply invent a band instead.

When thinking about some of the fictional bands from movies and TV to add to the list, several came to mind right away. However, that doesn’t necessarily make them the best. I wanted this list to be quality and agreed upon by the majority. So, I had to do a bit of homework. While doing my research, I was blown away by how many there are! I had forgotten about some of these, and in many cases I didn’t realize they were fictional bands! I guess I always thought “Josie And The Pussycats” was a real band. I guess I didn’t really pay attention to the movie. Likewise, the same thing with “Cheetah Girls” I thought it was a real group. However, they only became a real group after the movie came out and they did some shows and stuff. Those bands will not appear on the list below. We can consider them to be honorable mentions, though?

Let’s get to the list! What bands would you add to the list that you’d love to see live and in person but will likely never be able to because they aren’t real? Let us know!

5 Of The Best Fictional Bands From Entertainment

  • Spinal Tap - "This Is Spinal Tap"

    Look, you can’t talk about fictional bands without talking about Spinal Tap. They’re arguably the greatest fictional band of all-time. Sure, they did end up playing some shows but that doesn’t count! They’re from a movie and so I’m calling them fake. Also, you’d be surprised how many people don’t realize they aren’t real. It’s a mockumentary! Ugh. The actors are all quality musicians but it remains a fake band.

  • The Beets - "Doug"

    https://youtu.be/voVY3-Xe8KY?si=YeBR8Uc94RdXceOK Do you remember The Beets from “Doug?” I had this song stuck in my head for the better part of my childhood growing up. It was so catchy! I wanted to see them. Doug and everyone seemed so hype about them. I wanted that feeling! It would be so cool to see them perform their songs live. I bet you’d remember more lyrics than you;d expect. 

  • Daisy Jones & The Six - "Daisy Jones & The Six"

    This is one of the newer examples on the list. I watched this show and it was fantastic. The music is cool, the characters are relatable, and the songs are awesome! I’d definitely see them perform live. This would have been my type of band back in the day. If you haven’t watched it yet, it’s highly recommended!

  • Boz 12 (B12) - "American Dad"

    https://youtu.be/rPIt52BwTak?si=gOr0nQzjbplACb3d Anything Steve Smith sings gets instantly stuck in my head. Just like Family Guy and South Park, American Dad does a great job incorporating original songs. They are always great and they are always funny. Somehow, they never seem to miss. It’s funny how the show will reference Boyz 12 and their music even outside of the original episode. A nice Easter Egg for fans of the show.

  • The Bikini Bottom Super Band - "SpongeBob Squarepants"

    Of course this had to make the list! It’s one of the most memorable moments and episodes of SpongeBob! Can you image being at the Bubble Bowl to see this one-of-a-kind performance? That crowd definitely looked hype. Honestly, I don’t think you’re ever too old for SpongeBob. It remains hilarious to this day. Or am I just immature?
