Celebrating the best One Hit Wonders from 1997, including White Town, Blue Boy and Rosie Gaines.

This week’s show is a 1997 Special, celebrating One Hit Wonders, from 25 years ago!

1997 was the year of 'The Full Monty', 'Teletubbies' started on TV, and the most coveted toy was a Nintendo 64.

This episode features a song that samples a track from the 1930s, a song that references John Wayne, and a girl band who never made it quite as big as The Spice Girls.
