Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Junk Drawer July 6th - One hit wonders

Since there is no junk drawer so far I though I would make one. No, I don't mean teams that only win one title in the NBA and then disintegrate although that's also a nice discussion. I was just going through some lists to look for artists that only had one major (international) hit. Some might have been successful in their home country or as a touring artist later, but never achieved that level of attention on TV and the radio again. At least so far, since some people labeled one hit wonders are still young enough to produce many songs and records in the future.

Some I could come up with in no particular order:

  • Los del Rio - Macarena (hey, Macarena)
  • Baha Men - Who let the dogs out (who who woof woof)
  • Afroman - Because I got high (he probably still is, hence no new material)
  • Tatu - All the things she said (translated version from their original Russian title)
  • Soft Cell - Tainted Love (successfully covered several times, so the song itself was a multi-hit)
  • Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby (the prototypical one hit wonder)
  • Mary Mary - Shackles (both singers with success individually, but never again in that collaboration)
  • Samantha Mumba - Gotta Tell You (is she still active? Probably)
  • Crazy Town - Butterfly (I think I have seen the lead singer on some detox show)
  • The Knack - My Sharona (took me a while to understand what they were singing)
  • Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal (probably still touring with that MJ sample)
  • Truth Hurts - Addictive (she was someone's protege and then disappeared)
  • Stacie Orrico - There's gotta be more to life (I liked her, what happened?)
  • Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting (still popular for comedy film scenes and TV clips)
  • Babylon Zoo - Spaceman (some British guy on an Atari)
  • Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellite (that was huge, but later she didn't seem to get much published)
  • House of Pain - Jump Around
  • Meredith Brooks - Bitch (She was already pretty old for a pop/rock singer when that came out)
  • Deep Blue Something - Breakfast At Tiffany's (nice video)
  • Rednex - Cotton-eyed Joe (Sweden's worst music export ever)
  • US3 - Cantaloop (interesting melody, not much more)
  • OMC - How Bizarre (indeed)
  • 4 Non Blondes - What's Up (also known as 'What's going on' I guess. The leader singer last I heard wrote "Fighter" and a few other songs for Christina Aguilera)
  • Tag Team - Whoomp There It Is (still blasting through sports arenas worldwide)
I only own three or four of those. Really.

I had to look up CW McCall to see if he was still alive. Apparently he is, so I’ll refrain from calling him a one hit wonder on the off chance that he will still bust out another hit. I think a CB themed song would do well on the charts these days.

Re: The Knack

I am not sure they qualify. Their follow up to My Sharona was a song called “Good Girls Don’t” that reached #11 on the Billboard Pop Charts. So techinally they had 2 hits (in fact that entire Album is great ..but they never had that kind of success again)

He is something funny …..They recorded a cover of That Thing You Do…the penultimate one hit Wonders song from the movie by the same name (as the song)

Jimmy Eat World The Middle
  -It just takes some time…

Gnarls Barkley Crazy
  -I liked this album and tried to think of another hit from it, but since I can’t, it belongs here. Well, for now…

hellogoodbye Here (In Your Arms)
  -I don’t know. Just picked it. :)

Amy Winehouse Rehab
  -She’s not quite a one-hit wonder… but her main hit was sooo ironic that I thought it should be here.

Nine Days Absolutely (Story Of a Girl)
  -I remember hearing this song… but have forgotten it entirely.

Random notes...

Sixpence had two other minor hits in the US, remakes of the La’s “There She Goes” and Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream it’s Over” (A version I really like). But neither were huge hits, just charting.

Spin Doctors had “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” in the US, top 20 (before Two Princes)

Soul Asylum was pretty big in the US on the modern rock charts, definitely not one hit (though they had less mainstream success)

Shakespear’s Sister only had one hit in the US.. and it’s a different song! They had one other minor hit.

by Timmay! on Jul 6, 2009 10:57 AM PDT up reply actions  

I love how YouTube suggests more crappy music when you look for crappy music

Apparently people who listened to the Sister(s) also listened to East 17 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4jLfCjlYD0

That was kinda like the Dutch/UK version of the Backstreet Boys (only much worse, the real version would be Take That feat. Robby Williams). The highlight of their career – in my opinion – was when one of the boys came out to be gay and girls in my class started crying hysterically.

He'll benefit from the lack of other good big men

But I don’t think he has even an outside shot at being the BEST big man in the league, which I think Oden does.

Lopez is good though, no doubt.

I see Brad Daugherty

Good player, skilled, stiff and relatively unathletic when compared to the guys who would likely have the crowd of ‘best big man’. Biggest difference is, Daugherty was a #1 pick and Lopez, like, #9 or #10 (I forget). Great value there!

Oden isn’t anywhere close to the best big man, and Lopez is better now, but I think Oden has a shot at being the best and Lopez will continue to improve and be good (but not great).

by Mortimer on Jul 6, 2009 2:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

he's more trouble for the opposing team already

he may use up his fouls, but that’s because he’s not letting anything easy. and he already can outmuscle most Cs on the block, which is pretty cool. and rebounding, defending is more important than be able to hit foulline jumpers in a way, at least if you have LMA around…

He’s a bad rebounder, low percentage for a 4/3 (as opposed to Outlaws 3/4), doesn’t defend at ALL or even block shots with his athleticism…

But, both stars had injuries that made them injury prone. They weren’t Nene type unlucky injuries, they were repeat injuries. They never had a real shot at winning it all, they coulda’ rather easily blown it up (or at least moved Yao) and done better.

if you take Morrison out you have 3 serviceable players for ~15mil, which doesn’t seem atrocious for guys who are good locker room fits.

Over time, as we all know

EVERY single GM has pock marks on their record, even RC Buford.

And KP will look even smarter once good older vets wanna be Blazers just to win a title, like what happened with the Celtics and Spurs and Lakers. KP’s making the foundation to get there, and that’s the toughest part… though identifying the key pieces around the core isn’t easy at all.

THAT’s the real test of KP, as long as we think Oden and Roy + LMA/Batum/Rudy(?) is the key.

Can he identity the right role players to go next to these guy? Doesn’t matter if they old, they don’t gotta grow with the team, just do well while they are Blazers. Every other team has a revolving door of role players next to the core…

Pendergraph seems like a pick of a guy who can fit as a role player. Channing Frye doesn’t. I hope KP’s gut does as well as he does with bigger talent…

The Nene signing happened on 7/20/2006, which was during the short time ...

between Kiki Vandeweghe’s departure from the Denver Nuggets organization on 5/5/2006 and Mark Warkentien’s promotion from director of player pesonnel to vice president of basketball operations on 9/7/2006. As a result, owner Stan Kroenke should shoulder the weight — both good and bad — of Nene’s deal.

I can't rank Kupchak over KP

Without you out there, we're nowhere here

by 22baylor on Jul 6, 2009 3:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

Well, time will tell

But if KP has contemplated all the deals we can and more, and the question is whether he can pull off the deal, what is preventing him from pulling off the deal aside from other teams agreeing to it?

And if the other teams won’t agree to it, doesn’t matter who the GM is.

With KP, he isn’t lazy like lots of GMs, and gets on the phones to work. If there is a deal to be made, he will make it. He’s an over-worker, if anything. If we can’t make the deal that we know is great for us but the other guy won’t make it, it doesn’t matter who our GM is.

Since KP works hard and tries to make the deal, we got a much better shot.

GMs are talent evaluators and dealer makers. Just the fact KP is prolly in the top 5 in 2.5 years is awesome, since we, as a team, haven’t done jack diddly squat yet. And those attributes that make him likely a top 5 GM are what make it likely we’ll make a deal, if there is a deal to be made.

He can’t possibly be “the best” GM till we win a title, so no disagreement there.

He is a promising player in a tiny league in Estonia, but he regularly scores triple doubles (points, blocks, rebounds)

Scouts compare his skill set to Dirk Nowitzki, but with the body of Eddy Curry and the leaping ability and speed of Nate Robinson. It’s awesome to watch. He is totally fine with being a backup in the NBA because his current club is sponsored by a regional gas company that can only pay him 80k euro per year. However that’s with a Lada as a vehicle and no income tax, so the Blazers have to offer a bit more than the rookie minimum to entice him. There are also rumors he wants the team to hire his sister. And that the Spurs will sign him if they can’t land Big Baby.

i feel that way about the band the Cardigans

everyone knows that song ‘love me’ because of that overstylized teenybopper MTV schlok version of romeo and juliet ( i love dicaprio, don’t get wrong, fine actor) but The Cardigans have several albums of very high quality, eclectic, catchy pop music.

Only his “behind the locker room door” series really revealed anything, and that was when he could observe and talk with players.

The second is that nobody can remember the singer’s name. The third is that the singer often wore a profoundly idiotic hat. The fourth is that if this anonymous, poorly hatted singer had made a follow-up album, it would have somehow made his first record seem worse. The fifth is that his album didn’t quite deserve to go gold, and it didn’t.

I watched more of him since the draft, since I liked how he looked. No jumper, iffy shot selection, lotsa rebound for his position and steals and blocks and athletic plays. I think I like him.

Marreese Sp8ts went 11 for 26. STRAIGHT GUNNIN’.

Jrue Holiday went 3 for 11, 5 turnovers. Looks like that will be his normal stat line as well.

Hansbrough went 6 for 13. Fun!

Contador

was coming back from the team car when the split happened

Also, Saxo Bank, Silence, and Cervelo were all willing to help in the chase, and they had to ride full tilt regardless. I would have been okay if Armstrong hadnt put Pop and Zubeldia in to help out. If you want to let Columbia do their worst that is fine, but Armstrong openly rode against Contador with that move.

they didnt say

sometimes they go back for a quick meeting, perhaps the race radios were not so great today as happens sometimes. He did have a domestique wtih him at the time.

I have just been hoping that Bruyneel would take the long view of the situation and would see that Contador is the future, but I doubt Contador has anything to do with Bruyneel after this.

These in fights make for good press, but are pretty bad for cycling in general. Unless Contador actually goes to a team Garmin where this kind of division would not be allowed to happen.

show me the space time

plot for that ball and I will consider what you are saying.

There are some stars and possibly some tentacles or contrails (those would not occur in space BTW) but nothing to say that it is definitively in space. Also, just look at the relative scales of the ball and the city. If it was in space then that ball would have to be enormous to preserve that perspective.

Bring back the L+C and we will throw in a space alien for those who like the new logo

chances are of the 10 guys, 8 are completely into the actual trekkie show…1 is somewhat interested, and the other is me. That leaves me a 3 to 1 ratio to have fun with the ladies above.

Now we have mobile commenting. Wohoo. I hope they don't keep that line up there forever

Oh, and while you were gone I listened to Courtside a bit. Bayno on Oden was great, brought my hope up that he will be much improved next year with some little moves and especially more lift and speed and stamina.

Also Casey has a very nice interview with Nic on the site. In one or two years Nic will also be so good speaking English that he will be one of the best interview partners on the Blazers.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
