  • JUST ONE HIT - "Into The Night" by Benny Mardones (One Hit Wonder)
    Mar 15 2024

    In the second installment of Just One Hit, we are exploring the Benny Mardones 80s adult contemporary hit, Into The Night. Initially released in 1980 to much controversy due to its opening lines about courting a minor, (She's Just sixteen years old, leave her alone), this one hit wonder has the distinction of not only being a hit once, hitting the #11 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980, but twice in the same decade, thanks in part to a resurgence in popularity in 1989 (#20 Billboard Hot 100). Is there more to the man than just the controversy or does the song's infamy outlive its performer?

  • 20 Fingers & Gillette - Short Dick Man (1994)
    Feb 17 2023

    In this third installment of Just One Hit, we are discussing 20 Fingers & Gillette's phallic shaming hit, Short Dick Man or Short Short Man if you're listening to the clean version. Written as somewhat of a diss record to heavily mysoginistic music and musicians during the early 90s, the dance track struck a chord with the general public, peaking at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1994. Its explict content and Gillette's scathingly convincing delivery are one for the books, but aside from it going viral a few times due to a performance of the song on a Brazillian children's show, people don't seem to remember it.
