BRO!!!! My buddy and I have been walking around for years saying that!! Fucking crazy someone else made that connection. We always go let the bodies hit the floor cause its raining men lol. I love you for that lol
@@nigelgatwood9986 It's title is actually "Country Roads." It's a song by John Denver. But West Virginia is mentioned in the chorus. "Country Roads, take me home. To the place, I belong. West Virginia. Mountain mama. Take me home, Country Roads."
@@KayleeCee Definitely. Especially because, at least for Story Of A Girl, it sounds like a 3 Doors Down song. You could put it on any of their early 2000s albums and it would fit right in
I opened for drowning pool in 2017. I can legit confirm everything said. They were a big influence on me being an angsty teen learning guitar in the early 00s.
Face Down, The Boys of Summer, and Bodies are monumental when it comes to early to mid - ‘00s rock music. They capture the vibe of what the scene was like perfectly.
The Donnas had a couple more hits in Australia and I'm pretty sure they were a really big deal in Japan for a while. Their drummer had to retire due to a back injury. They tried to continue with a new drummer but I think it probably just wasn't the same for the rest of them. They'd been playing together with that original line up since high school so it would have been strange replacing a core member of the band.
My favorite 2000's one hit wonder is "Caught in the Rain" by Revis. They were a short-lived band, but I remember being 9 years old in 2003 jamming out to that song when it came on the radio. Five or six years ago I heard it in a store, remembered it, and bought the CD "Places for Breathing" with that song (excellent album).
Good video! Here’s some honourable mentions: Smile Empty Soul - Bottom Of A Bottle Hot Action Cop - Fever For The Flava Blindside - Pitiful The Union Underground - Turn Me On, Mr Deadman/Across The Nation Pulse Ultra - Build Your Cages 12 Stones - Broken Primer 55 - Loose Revis - Caught In The Sun Motograter - Down pre)Thing - Faded Love
"Heaven is a Halfpipe" was on the official Malcolm in the Middle soundtrack. If that doesn't represent the cultural zeitgeist of the time, I don't know what does.
I don't know if Finch from American Pie starring in a 311 music video would? 😄 That's what comes to mind for me. But to be specific, it was in 1999, not 2000.
Porn Star Dancing- My Darkest Days Bottom Of a bottle- Smile Empty Soul Just the girl- The click five Smooth Criminal- Alien Ant Farm (No Movies did not chart well) Cold (But I’m still here)- Evans blue Lollipop- Framing Hanley (sadly......so many better songs) Love Me Dead- Ludo New Low- Middle Class Rut That’s all I got lol
I think “movies” could count as a success if heaven is a halfpipe did. It reached the same peak on the modern rock charts, and “movies” actually stayed on that chart longer than smooth criminal. It also performed well overseas and was all over mtv still. But sadly, I suppose it’s not as memorable even tho everybody agrees that it’s much better than the smooth criminal cover.
Drowning Pool contributed “Break You” to the Scorpion King soundtrack, which is a good song with a lot more lyrical and vocal content... honestly, they probably would’ve been a fairly successful band if the original vocalist hadn’t passed away so suddenly, Sinner was a fairly solid album for its time and place
The Donnas really hit their stride with Gold Medal and I felt that was pretty good stuff. I Don't Wanna Know (If You Don't Want Me) was my jam on Gran Turismo 4.
It’s pretty sad that the only thing The Ataris are known for is their amazing cover of Boys of Summer when they have a catalog of amazing work! They really are a legitimately good pop punk band, unlike that of Simple Plan.
Not a knock at you at all, just a thought I had at the mention of The Donnas: it seems like every once in a while, another girl group will come around that rock critics will say "finally proves" that "girls can rock too". The Runaways, Heart, and The Donnas. Here's a crazy idea: girls have always been able to rock just as much as the guys, and it's all y'alls misogyny that prevents you from seeing an all-girl band as legit. Like, I have seen way too many dude rock fans brag about how they don't listen to any girl band, including a band with a girl frontwoman and all dudes behind her.
Of course, women can do great Rock and Metal too. There are just not as many as guys interested in hearing/doing it. It s not because they are not accepted.
What do black people and women even have to do with each other? Ease up on the identity shit. duRRR the mysogyny. How many female led bands are shit but skyrocket to stardom just because they're women? Gtf outta here lol
Personally I like "Beep Boops", they're just not done well lately. Electro Pop and Dance pop can be great fused with Rock...it's just not lately...and I do miss Rock like this for sure.
I blame glitch rock/metal for causing fatigue for anything remotely chiptuney sounding. That said, Glass Animals is making some pretty great psychedelic pop.
Not sure if anyone mentioned, but the song from The Ataris that I remember most is "In This Diary." And as far as The Donnas goes, I remember "Fall Behind Me."
The Ataris are one of the best, and most influential pop-punk bands of all time. The album that Boys of Summer came from was one of the best pop-punk albums of all time. They are one hit wonders to mainstream fans but their influence deserves more respect than they’ve been given. Absolutely love them
I agree that Tear Away is Drowning Pool's best song from Sinner, even more so than Bodies. Too bad it didn't get nearly as much airplay. Also, Dave Williams died at the age of 30 from heart failure associated with heart muscle disease. I wonder how much more success Drowning Pool would've had if Dave was still the singer, or even still there.
I was a huge Ataris fan. One of the bands I've seen the most live. Got to stand on the side of the stage while they played Warped Tour New Orleans. Amazing moment.
I'd completely forgotten about the existence of Heaven is a Halfpipe until I heard it and then I immediately could sing every lyric and there's no way I've heard that song since like 2002.
One I would like to add is Revis with "Caught In The Rain". Less so to do with how well it did, and more so to do with the fact that the band was actually pretty decent with a good debut album, but also because of how royally _fucked_ they got by stupid copyright laws. Seriously, *_LOOK UP WHAT HAPPENED WITH THEIR SECOND ALBUM._* It even has its own Wikipedia page despite never being released.
If I was in a one hit wonder band, when playing live, I would always randomize what time in the setlist it came up just to screw with people. Of course I'd play it, but not always first or last!
Actually saw Nine Days and SR-71 open for Vertical Horizon 20 years ago. All 3 bands were really good live. And I do defend Nine Days "The Madding Crowd" as one of the most underrated albums of the 2000s!
To be fair, I think Drowning Pool would have had more hits had their original lead singer not died when they had barely hit their stride. Its pretty rare for a band to recover from that. Not many AC/DC's or Journey's out there.
Did "Welcome to the Fold" chart? or "The Best Things"? ... they just feel like more than a two-hit wonder. (This is from someone who owns 7 albums, though not 'Murica'.)
@@Coyotek4 I have the 7 albums and Title Of EP. Not sure when Murica will come out. The Best Things and Welcome To The Fold did chart but not near as high as Take A Picture. Same with Where Do We Go From Here.
@@mjnation7876 I know "The Only Way (is the Wrong Way)" got used in a Hummer commercial, and my local rock station (briefly) played "Surprise" I feel like Filter is underrated.
@@Coyotek4 "The Only Way (Is The Wrong Way)" is legit one of my favorite song ever, and I'm still mad it wasn't released as a single cause I think it would have done great on Alternative and Hot AC formats.
NOFX 's vocal sound is remarkably pervasive in late 90's pop /punk formula. They deserve their own subgenre due to the number of bands that were/are derivative of their distinctive tone. I just called it "whine rock" however that was before Emo was a thing. Punk in Drublic is still one of my favorite albums!
First I really like your videos and I like a lot of 90's and 2000's music but got to say a lot of it also makes me very happy I grew up in the 70's and 80's listening to Black Sabbath and the stones, Pink Floyd will always be my first love of music.
I kind of feel like the best bands in the emo scene were The Used, Thursday, At the Drive In, Alkaline Trio, Glassjaw and Thrice. You could safely ignore the rest.
All I can think of when I hear "California" is that the lyrics come from "California, Here I Come" by Al Jolson. Almost 100 years old now so I'd guess most people don't remember this song, but "California" always sounded like a modern (at the time) interpretation of that old song.
When comparing rock one hit wonders of the 90's to those of the 2000's, one can't help but notice a huge difference, which is indicative of the general shift that was happening in mainstream rock around that time. While 90's rock one hit wonders are all over the place and often come from weird or even kinda fringe bands, 2000's rock one hit wonders are more often than not associated with a certain format and sound way more formulaic and disposable, with only a few quirkier tunes here and there.
SR-71 was massively underrated. Their songs “Let It Whip” (which made it to movies) and “Tomorrow” (which I discovered on an episode of Smallville) were amazing
Are Fuel technically a two hit wonder with both Shimmer and Hemorrhage (In My Hands)? They had other note worthy songs but those two seemed to be the biggest. It's a shame they weren't bigger because their first 3 albums ruled! Gold standard post grunge type rock band imo
@@Coyotek4 Falls On Me definitely charted but if I recall, Hemorrhage was their only number 1 hit. Shimmer went to number 2 on Billboard but was ironically more popular.
One of the cooler and often forgotten one hit wonder suggestions of the 2000's (at least to me) is "Beat the World" by Pressure 4-5. The whole album "Burning the Process" (signed to Dreamworks of all labels) was an excellent attempt to replicate that 90's helmet sound and expand upon it. "Beat the World" is an even better standout that actually charted at #39 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts. They unfortunately broke up 2 years after that record, mostly due to 9/11 slowing their momentum while touring and the label financially screwing them over. seriously, if you get the chance, check out both the album at this particular single. I think you'll be pretty surprised!
The red jumpsuit apparatus are still touring the world! They have dropped albums and toured Australia at least 6 times. Was definitely the only mainstream hit but it’s not just ageing fans they have nailed doing DIY and still keeping relevant enough in my opinion haha.
I love "Face Down" and "Boys of Summer". I was introduced to the former the same way every mid-00s highschooler was but I was introduced to the Ataris via "The Night the Lights Went Out in NYC" from the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack and didn't know about "Boys of Summer" until a solid six or seven years after Spider-Man 2 came out :)
Howie day - Collide Augustana - Boston Jet - Are you gonna be my girl Jimmy eat world - the middle Finger eleven - paralyzer Burn halo - dirty little girl Hoobastank - the reason Snow patrol - chasing cars Bowling for soup - 1985

Lmao that was great
Luke's smug face after he sang "West Virginia" floored me.
It literally does work with “West Virginia” 😆

Honestly, for a longtime in my childhood, always thought Story Of A Girl was by 3 Doors Down because of Limewire lol
Oh limewire. It screwed me over a few times when I'd argue with friends. I'm still finding corrections 10+ years later 😄
There was a lot of that back in the limewire days. I've even seen a few song titles or even artists wrongly named here on CZcams.
@@KayleeCee Definitely. Especially because, at least for Story Of A Girl, it sounds like a 3 Doors Down song. You could put it on any of their early 2000s albums and it would fit right in
Hahha. I swore it was by Wheatus cause of bearshare.
Haha it sounds Nothing like them tho haha. I Know limewire was INFAMOUS for mistitled songs or wrong artists but CMON SON haha
I love that Boys of Summer cover. My mom who was in high school during the 84 Don Henley version doesn’t even KNOW the cover exists 😂
I still have this cover in my lifetime playlist! 😊
Got me to buy So Long Astoria, which I thought was a really good album

There was a time when "Bodies" was the default song on here when the original track was removed for copyright reasons.
Face Down, The Boys of Summer, and Bodies are monumental when it comes to early to mid - ‘00s rock music. They capture the vibe of what the scene was like perfectly.
Psychostick shout out! No joke, the band shot my friend with paintball guns after a show at pop's at his request. I have video somewhere lol

Five or six years ago I heard it in a store, remembered it, and bought the CD "Places for Breathing" with that song (excellent album).
so...I definitely missed a lot of the 2000s by not being into emo...
You really did, because even bands in that scene could be pretty versatile.
Good video! Here’s some honourable mentions:
Smile Empty Soul - Bottom Of A Bottle
Hot Action Cop - Fever For The Flava
Blindside - Pitiful
The Union Underground - Turn Me On, Mr Deadman/Across The Nation
Pulse Ultra - Build Your Cages
12 Stones - Broken

Thank you for reminding me of Blindside/pitiful, they were in the movie Grind first time i heard them, loved the song immediately.
I know Hot Action Cop from Need for Speed with Going Down On It.
Smile Empty Soul - Bottom Of A Bottle - dope song
Primer 55 - This life - think is better
Oh & u forgot about
Peeping Tom - Mojo
Smile empty souls first three albums are bangers!
I'd argue that Across The Nation wouldn't have had the popularity it did if it wasn't for Monday Night Raw
Face Down and Your Guardian’s Angel is still a jam for me.
Honestly, all of Don't You Fake It is really good.
@@somewhomst I loved that album back when it came out and I will still listen to it here and there for nostalgia.
@@Hailstorm273 Grim Goodbye was a treat of a hidden track and one of their best songs.
"California" is an absolute banger and the opening piano bit (ugh) iconic. I will NOT hear otherwise.

"Heaven is a Halfpipe" was on the official Malcolm in the Middle soundtrack. If that doesn't represent the cultural zeitgeist of the time, I don't know what does.
Malcolm in the Middle had a soundtrack???
Was on PS1's MTV Skateboard, too.
I don't know if Finch from American Pie starring in a 311 music video would? 😄
That's what comes to mind for me. But to be specific, it was in 1999, not 2000.
What an amazing 311 song it is too
I'll fight anyone who says Tearaway isn't a good song.
The title track Sinner was pretty good too
We're going back to back. I LOVE THAT SONG so much.
Was literally just repeating the song title at Luke like he could hear me. Great damn song.
I love that song.
Aging Floridian Emo’s sounds like a 90’s ska band lol
I completely forgot the Donna's, but man, they are awesome. Thanks for unlocking that memory
I call "Bodies" the heavy metal workout song. Also, their song "Step Up" was a song I did Karaoke to. I tore my MCL trying to hit a note.
Hey, are you really not going to bring up the fact that the drummer for Phantom Planet was Jason Schwartzman?
Phantom Planet and Rooney were both heavily reliant on star connections, but I own and loooooove that album.

In this diary is great as well

They have 3 albums that were just as good. They are so damn good
Blue Skies still hits also. I always forget one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Joey Cape, produced a couple of those albums.
Not sure if anyone mentioned, but the song from The Ataris that I remember most is "In This Diary."
And as far as The Donnas goes, I remember "Fall Behind Me."
The Ataris are one of the best, and most influential pop-punk bands of all time. The album that Boys of Summer came from was one of the best pop-punk albums of all time.

I would have sworn on my mother's head that Right Now was a Bowling for Soup song.
I always enjoyed that Bowling for Soup song. I think it was called 1985. That's a 2000s one hit wonder. But damn it was fun.
Fall For You was my ringtone back in the day,
That metro station song always reminds me of how much I like "When Did Your Heart Go Missing" by Rooney. Another one hit 2000's band!
San Dimas High School Football Rules was the song that really got me into punk.
To be fair, I think Drowning Pool would have had more hits had their original lead singer not died when they had barely hit their stride. Its pretty rare for a band to recover from that. Not many AC/DC's or Journey's out there.
I wasn't actually sure if I wanted The Donnas to have more than one hit - purely due to their name.
It’s kinda weird that I actually know SR-71 but I never even heard their one hit wonder. I discovered them through their song Goodbye used in an AMV
I still follow many of these. I’ve seen red jumpsuit apparatus a few times in concert
Over here in the U.K., Heaven is a Halfpipe was a phenomenal. Still so much fun!
I watched The Donnas open for the White Stripes back in 03 and they blew the crowd away. So much fun.

I remember when Bodies was in seemingly every wrestling compilation video. I was still finding those ten years after the song came out.
I kind of feel like the best bands in the emo scene were The Used, Thursday, At the Drive In, Alkaline Trio, Glassjaw and Thrice. You could safely ignore the rest.
I could swear I remember the Donnas having a second hit.
Well I think you have just created a ‘soundtrack of my youth’ playlist here... I owned pretty much all of these songs... 🤣
Well, The Ataris had Radio #2 on So Long, Astoria but it was just a hit in Canada and got used in NHL 2004
Yeah, that’s how I found out about The Ataris- through NHL 2004.
All I can think of when I hear "California" is that the lyrics come from "California, Here I Come" by Al Jolson. Almost 100 years old now so I'd guess most people don't remember this song, but "California" always sounded like a modern (at the time) interpretation of that old song.
When comparing rock one hit wonders of the 90's to those of the 2000's, one can't help but notice a huge difference, which is indicative of the general shift that was happening in mainstream rock around that time.
While 90's rock one hit wonders are all over the place and often come from weird or even kinda fringe bands, 2000's rock one hit wonders are more often than not associated with a certain format and sound way more formulaic and disposable, with only a few quirkier tunes here and there.
I knew SR-71, but I only knew their song Tomorrow.
I can only count to 4 played live is an extremely fun time.
SR-71 was massively underrated. Their songs “Let It Whip” (which made it to movies) and “Tomorrow” (which I discovered on an episode of Smallville) were amazing
I completely forgot about Right Now, holy shit got nostalgia from that
Are Fuel technically a two hit wonder with both Shimmer and Hemorrhage (In My Hands)? They had other note worthy songs but those two seemed to be the biggest. It's a shame they weren't bigger because their first 3 albums ruled! Gold standard post grunge type rock band imo
Did any of the following chart?
Bittersweet
Jesus or a Gun
Sunburn
Innocent
Million Miles
Falls on Me
Cold Summer
You forgot Bad Day and Bittersweet.
@@y2jfan462 Bad Day was definitely their third biggest hit but Bittersweet was sadly forgotten.
@@Coyotek4 Falls On Me definitely charted but if I recall, Hemorrhage was their only number 1 hit. Shimmer went to number 2 on Billboard but was ironically more popular.
Bodies and Face Down hit me right in the nostalgia
I can remember people thinking Story of a Girl was by Matchbox 20.
And I say as a big fan that does not sound like Rob Thomas at all.
Im...so...old. I can still jam out to most of these. That "shake it" shit though? Nah man. Nah. Even back then, just, nahimgood.
I just realized this. The girl in the music vid for 9 Days- Story of a girl is the same chick in Nickelback - How You Remind me.
I’m not the only one that thought the Psychostick parody was good!
Got to admit the nine days song story of a girl still plays in my head randomly.
3:57 All Time Low is going to drop a diss track
Pop Punk isn't too big on this channel. He just gets an A for mentioning Pop Punk in general
For real when he said Baltimore I immediately thought of All Time Low~
All time low are not one hit wonders
One of the cooler and often forgotten one hit wonder suggestions of the 2000's (at least to me) is "Beat the World" by Pressure 4-5. The whole album "Burning the Process" (signed to Dreamworks of all labels) was an excellent attempt to replicate that 90's helmet sound and expand upon it. "Beat the World" is an even better standout that actually charted at #39 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts. They unfortunately broke up 2 years after that record, mostly due to 9/11 slowing their momentum while touring and the label financially screwing them over. seriously, if you get the chance, check out both the album at this particular single. I think you'll be pretty surprised!
Oleander - Why.
Smile Empty Soul - Bottom Of A Bottle.
HIM - Butterfly.
Andrew W-K.
Cold - Stupid Girl.
The red jumpsuit apparatus are still touring the world! They have dropped albums and toured Australia at least 6 times. Was definitely the only mainstream hit but it’s not just ageing fans they have nailed doing DIY and still keeping relevant enough in my opinion haha.
yes, i wouldn’t say that they’re a one hit wonder
The Calling -
Wherever You Will Go
In the previous video for 2000s one hit wonders.
@@wolfinsheepsclothing842 Ok, thanks.
I really miss The Donnas, I could have sworn though Fall Behind Me and Who Invited You were decent size hits back then too.
I love "Face Down" and "Boys of Summer". I was introduced to the former the same way every mid-00s highschooler was but I was introduced to the Ataris via "The Night the Lights Went Out in NYC" from the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack and didn't know about "Boys of Summer" until a solid six or seven years after Spider-Man 2 came out :)
I miss the Donnas. And I still listen to Bodies. Even got to see them live when they opened for Disturbed in Madison.
Who else is binge watching all these top 10s?
Drowning pools song sinner is actually really good. But I reluctantly agree that bodies is the main one.
Howie day - Collide
Augustana - Boston
Jet - Are you gonna be my girl
Jimmy eat world - the middle
Finger eleven - paralyzer
Burn halo - dirty little girl
Hoobastank - the reason
Snow patrol - chasing cars
Bowling for soup - 1985
Finger Eleven had One Thing and Bowling for Soup had a few other hits.
Shit Jericho you right, I like finger eleven’s other stuff, but let’s be honest they’re mainly known for paralyzer
@@drillhead6669 Yeah, but One Thing was their 1st big hit.
Bodies was the perfect song for 2020
