Grab Bag: One-hit Wonders
Manage episode 377813533 series 3474174
We're grabbing a bag, shaking it up, and pulling out some clips this week. It's our first ever GRAB BAG episode on famous one-hit wonders!
Alex and Jon walk 500 miles with the Proclaimers on Letterman before watching a wild performance by Sir-Mix-a-Lot on Arsenio featuring a giant on-stage ass. The Toadies play their seminal grunge 2.0 hit on The Jon Stewart Show and the guys discuss the anarcho-punk background of Chumbawumba. Harvey Danger comes and goes like a shooting star in the night. New Radicals perform for-and with-an audience of children on All That. And Gnarls Barkley blows the roof off on Letterman.
