"Nobody sets out to be a one-hit-wonder. Even those responsible for the most cynical and intensely irritating novelty tracks believe that they could do it all over again. However, pop success is a fickle beast and even a worldwide smash offers no guarantees when it comes to single No.2. Here are 11 one-hit-wonders from the &amp;#039;90s who tried again... and failed. 1. Lou Bega: I Got A Girl      Maybe it was the impending millennium and the fear of an apocalypse, but something odd was in the musical water in 1999. Hence, Lou Bega. &amp;#039;Mambo No.5&amp;#039; went to No.1 around the world (sorry world) and continued to haunt cricket fans until 2005 when Channel 4 stopped using it as the theme tune for the coverage.  Thankfully we all came to our senses by the time follow-up track &amp;#039;I Gotta Girl&amp;#039; came around. Probably because it was near enough THE EXACT SAME SONG. 2. Rednex: Old Pop In Oak      On wiki Rednex are listed as a &amp;quot;Swedish techno/folk/bluegrass band&amp;quot;. Well, in 1994 Swedish techno/folk/bluegrass got really big and we all went a bit doolally for the fiddle-fuelled nonsense of &amp;#039;Cotton Eyed Joe&amp;#039;. A couple of weeks later, like a bad one-night-stand, we all tried to pretend it never happened and totally blanked their follow-up single, &amp;#039;Old Pop In Oak&amp;#039;. 3. Scatman John: Scatman&amp;#039;s World      The late great Scatman John burned brightly in 1994 with his inspirational track for stutter sufferers &amp;#039;Scatman&amp;#039;. Sadly, his ski ba bop ba dop bop-ing didn&amp;#039;t have much longevity and when he returned the next year with &amp;#039;Scatman&amp;#039;s World&amp;#039;, his star had faded. 4. Whigfield: Another Day      Whigfield&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Saturday Night&amp;#039; is a delightfully cheesy slab of &amp;#039;90s Danish Eurodance that will be fondly remembered by any youngster in 1994 for finally dethroning Wet Wet Sodding Wet from No.1 after 567 weeks. Sadly for Whigfield, repeating the formula with the ridiculously similar &amp;#039;Another Day&amp;#039; later that year was the beginning of the end for her mainstream pop career. 5. Los del Rio: Macarena Christmas      Antonio Monge and Rafael Perdigones (yes, they had names) briefly took over the world in 1996 when every man, dog and cringe-inducing politician wheeled out the unforgettable dance moves (right hand left hip, left hand right hip - yeah you remember it) to prove that they had a &amp;#039;sense of humour&amp;#039;. Los Del Rio thankfully never bothered trying to properly follow up the smash hit. Instead, they just put a Christmas donk on it and called it (imaginatively) &amp;#039;Macarena Christmas&amp;#039;. 6. Pato Banton: Bubbling Hot      Birmingham reggae singer Pato Banton briefly piqued the interest of Smash Hits-reading &amp;#039;90s teens with No.1 single &amp;#039;Baby Come Back&amp;#039;. Unfortunately, his moment in the sun didn&amp;#039;t last long. His follow-up &amp;#039;Bubbling Hot&amp;#039; is remembered by only the most nerdy of &amp;#039;90s chart enthusiasts. 7. Eiffel 65: Move Your Body      Eiffel 65&amp;#039;s No.1 hit &amp;#039;Blue (Da Ba Dee)&amp;#039; *shudders* sits somewhere near Crazy Frog and Robin Thicke in the pop villainy scales. It&amp;#039;s also justification for never allowing Italians to make pop music ever again. The world agreed on that judgement as the follow-up single &amp;#039;Move Your Body&amp;#039; failed to make the same impact, i.e. make you want to rip your own ears off. 8. The Rembrandts: This House Is Not A Home      Hey, you know those guys who did the Friends song, they&amp;#039;ve got another track out. Really? Yeah. Is it just as awesome? Does it have the cool handclaps? Will it always remind me of the happy times with Joey, Chandler, Rachel, Monica, Ross and Phoebe?  No. No, it won&amp;#039;t. Oh. 9. Doop: Huckleberry Jam      Kids, if your parents ever complain about &amp;quot;this rubbish modern music&amp;quot;. If they moan about &amp;quot;that Justin Bieber&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;this &amp;#039;Gangnam Style&amp;#039;&amp;quot;, just say one word to them. Doop. Dutch dance nutters Doop scored a massive number one in 1994 (what the hell was going on that year?) with their self-titled single, which mashed techno dance with traditional Charleston. Their follow-up, &amp;#039;Huckleberry Jam&amp;#039;, sank without trace. The super trippy promo video (and bloody awful racket) probably explains why. 10. MC Hammer Addams Groove      Yes, technically MC Hammer may have had other chart successes after &amp;#039;U Can&amp;#039;t Touch This&amp;#039;, but 24 years on from his pop peak, can anyone remember any of his other tracks? His Hammerpants are more memorable than the majority of his other singles. Other than his rather ace cartoon spinoff Hammerman, the closest he came to having another memorable moment was with the Addams Family soundtrack. It&amp;#039;s better than we remember. 11. Vanilla Ice: Play That Funky Music      Another hip-pop &amp;#039;90s icon who will never be forgotten thanks to &amp;#039;Ice Ice Baby&amp;#039;. Unfortunately for Vanilla, his monster hit remains all he&amp;#039;s really known for by most pop fans. If Vanilla had never made the track, he might never have been booked for Dancing on Ice and he might never have got to duet with Jedward. Perhaps both of those are karma for his dire follow-up, his unfortunate take on &amp;#039;Play That Funky Music&amp;#039;. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
