1994 Special Part 1

Celebrating the best One Hit Wonders from 1994, including Doop, Stiltskin and Absolutely Fabulous.

This week’s show is a 1994 Special, celebrating One Hit Wonders, from 30 years ago!

The year that Four Weddings and a Funeral was the biggest film, The Vicar Of Dibley started on TV, and everybody wanted a Biker Mice From Mars action figure!

There’s so many One Hit Wonders from this year, we’ve had to do it over 2 episodes! So this is Part 1.

There's a song from a huge jeans TV advert.

A Eurodance track inspired by the Charleston.

And a reggae song that became a worldwide hit, 27 years after it had originally been recorded.
