Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six oh five here at News Radio eight forty whas
coffee and company with you. Thanks for hanging out with
us as we help you get your Thursday started. So
we do have an accident six sixty five south after
the Gene Snyder, and it's unclear just how much of
a delay we're seeing right now on the roadways, but
again sixty five near the Snyder. In fact, there's another
(00:23):
incident that is sixty five north of the Snyder. So
does look here from our partners over their woky, they're
live coverage of this. Doesn't look like there's any real
big delays at this point, but again a lot of
folks maybe haven't hit the roadways just yet, so be
careful and we will have another update for you on
traffic in about five minutes or so. All right, Currently,
(00:43):
Louisville police are searching for a man who is accused
of inappropriately touching a girl outside of a school.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And they do have video.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It's not great they of course even acknowledge that, but
they have video of the suspect running away. And this
is the kind of thing that I'm hopeful that will
get enough attention that somebody, despite not being able to
really see a clear face, somebody will maybe notice the area,
the build, or maybe just unfortunately, maybe you know someone
(01:12):
that you might think would do something like this. I
can't imagine there's nobody on that I know in any
way that I'm like, yeah, this might be him. This
is the kind of thing that person would do. But anything,
anything helps as far as just spread spreading words. So
the Facebook post from l and PD yesterday, So the
girl was waiting near MacCready and Richmond Avenues in Crescent
(01:32):
Hill around three o'clock on September eighteenth, so that was
last week, and the man pictured above allegedly approached her
and inappropriately touched her before running away. And that's what
you can see is video of this individual running away.
So according to police, the victim was able to protect
herself and she captured video of the suspect as he
ran through a yard and around a corner down the street.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So they did post that video.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And good on the victim to I mean, I think,
but have been totally understandable if the instincts weren't there
to kick in and get your phone out and try
to document this awful human being. So L and PD
spokesman John Bradley said this quote. The young lady was
standing here in this area and she was approached and
inappropriately touched by the man in this video. She screamed
(02:16):
her attention to herself and scared him away.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So I just whoever this person is, hopefully they are
apprehended soon.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And I mean, I'm just gonna not say anything else
because I just can't imagine someone doing this.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But people are awful. There are awful people that do.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
These kind of things, and we hope that they can
be they can be captured and kept off the street.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
All right.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Today is a big day. It's National One Hit Wonder Day.
And there's not one specific song that comes to mind
for me when I think of one hit wonders. I
you know, the mac Arena probably is. I'm just off
the top of my head. When I think of of
of of a one hit wonder, that's the first one
(03:05):
that comes to mind for me. But there are many
of them, and I've always found myself feeling bad for
people who are one hit wonders because you know, there
that the overall I guess, uh, the one hit wonders
are talented people, of course, but that's what they're known for.
(03:25):
Like and being a one hit wonder means you had
one song and you really couldn't do anything else. But
sometimes it's because your song is so huge and it
is is rare, like what else are you gonna It's
like it's like getting type cast in a show like
Screech Dustin Diamond from Save by the Bell, like Rkle
and I guess he's been in some other stuff joelil White,
Like what else are they gonna do? You're gonna know
them for those roles. I don't even know who sings Mackarna,
(03:50):
but sure enough, like I'm not sure what else they've
gotten the bag that would be that would stand out
as a as a as a as a as a
hit that could survive on its own.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So the Macarena is by Los del Rio. Okay for
your reference, there a pop duo. Yeah, I mean were
a pop duo maybe, I.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Mean, and that's one of like the most played songs ever, right,
Like I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I would imagine, so, I mean, it was number one
for fourteen weeks between August and November of nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It reminds me of the skating rink when I was
a little kid.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Makes me think of weddings from back in the.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Day, Like some of these one hit wonders that just become,
you know, so big and they're played billions of times.
You know, it takes some magic to make it that, right, Like,
I'm not sure it was a different time back in
the day when this song came out, But I don't
know what made it be a you know again, it's
it's catchy, it's a dance and all that, but I'm
(04:46):
not really sure what led it to be as popular
as it actually was. Right, not to say that like
it's a bad song, but I don't know, it's just, uh,
it's one of those things that that timing is on
your side. Clearly, there's some there's influential people within the
music industry that can really help you, really help you.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Make it big.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But really, if you play something a billion times, especially
back then, whenever like or one hit wonders as doable
now because because you don't have one hit wonders became
a thing for a variety of reasons back in the day,
but more often than not, we didn't have access to
listen to anything other than with the radio stations were playing, right, Like,
you couldn't get on the internet and download something you didn't.
(05:25):
I mean, you were just at the mercy of what
radio stations would play unless you would go out and
buy an album, CD, you know, a record. And now
you can just simply choose whatever you want to listen to.
So if they force feed us certain songs they become
catchy you, then you know, you learn to love them.
I guess over time. But now that's just that's harder
(05:48):
to do. But I've got a list here, we'll get through.
We'll get through it throughout the morning here. But the
biggest one hit Wonders by decade eighties, nineties, two thousands,
twenty tens. I didn't even have to look before I
knew that. In twenty ten's the Harlem Shake. Remember that one.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I was going to say, teaching me how to Dougi's
one that I think of those reached. Yeah, I on there.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It's not listed in the twenty ten I'm not even
sure when that one came out. But no, that's.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Uh, that is that didn't probably hit like mainstream radio
one hit wonder.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
As far as like that popular.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But no, it's absolutely a song that like most people
within our twenty years, within our age range, like it
was in.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Callie Swag District. Yeah, you tell you another song.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I'm not sure what their catalog consists of outside of
that song. So all right, let's get to a quick
time out tracking weather updates on the way. What I
want to get to coming up a little bit later on.
By the way, we are going to have Mayor Greenberg
join us at eight o'clock this morning. But l and
PD they have they've got a new well I say,
louisll not just LMPD, but Louisville nine one one has
added some video capability which I think can can only
(06:50):
help right when it comes to addressing emergency situations whenever
people have to pick up a phone and call nine
one one. So we'll get to that in a lot more.
Right here on News Radio eight forty whas. It is
six't eighteen here at News Radio eight forty whas. And
this is this is a one hit wonder on national
one Hit Wonder Day. This is your go to one
(07:11):
hit wonder song.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I think of all the time it used to be
our on our weekly radio show when I was in college.
This was our last bumper music every single time we
would do the show.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
That's fitting Chumbo wumba right tub thumping. This song is
called tob thumping. I don't think I knew that, so
rewind it just just about thirty five forty seconds because
I'm go, yeah, we go right where you just wear.
I used to think there's no way they're actually saying
(07:41):
what I think they're saying.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
But they are. They are saying yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Like I remember, like as a kid, this song came
out in ninety seven. I remember as a kid listening
to this in the car with my mother, and because
it was the only thing played on the radio, I
think for about a year, it seemed like and I
was singing along and I was saying kissing the night away,
and I remember my looking at me and laughing and saying,
that's not what they're saying, honey, And I'm like.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
What are they saying?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And then she told me, and I was like, what
does that mean? That's that's that doesn't make any sense.
But yeah, this is This is absolutely Mount Rushmore one hit.
Wonder because there's really no reason why this song became
so popular, but it did. And I mean it came
out when you were born.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
They never had any other hits in the United States.
They're a British band.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Are they still around?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
They have a lot of music. I was just looking
it up, but I've never heard any of it other
than this man.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I tell you what the life of a one hit wonder.
You got to find that balance because I'm sure if
you are truly an artist that really just wants to,
you know, be an artist and create and not be
known for one specific song, you want somebody to see
your value and and I mean you want to have
a long running career. But eventually, I guess when you can,
(08:54):
when you can accept that you know that didn't happen,
they didn't work out for you, you can still absolutely
utilize the power of that one hit for a long
long time. And I know there's some that just fade
off into normal lives and and uh, they probably don't
want to be recognized. But then there's others that I'm
(09:14):
sure are still touring and I'm sure it's not arenas
that are sold out, but they are. You know, they're
still able to make a living and probably live a
pretty good lifestyle because of one hit that really changed
changed everything. So I can get how it would be
difficult if you are somebody that, especially if it's a
song that like you didn't really create, like you signed
with a label. They have a gimmicky song that they
(09:37):
just knew would be really catchy because of where music
was at that time.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And yet you you're only known.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
For that like that would that would stick with you
as a creative person and an artist. But I mean,
once you can get over that, you can there's no
doubt you can absolutely really cash in. I mean not
even talking about like the royalties, because I'm sure the
label is the one getting most that money, but just
there appearances that kind of stuff. So all right, lets
talk about the Litiville Men's Clinic. Shaow we fellas. They
(10:04):
have helped me, and I want them to help you.
You may not even know that you need help, and
I guess there's always the situation where you maybe don't
actually need help, but it is always worth having a
conversation just to see. Because I was someone that didn't
realize that my testosteron levels were not where they were
supposed to be for somebody in my age range, I
just assume, well, hey, I guess this is life when
you get to be a certain age.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
And I was wrong. Now that my levels are where
they're supposed to be for my age range. I feel better.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'm getting way more out of my workouts than I
used to, and it is not an exaggeration to say
that they have changed my life. So maybe it's low
t for you. Maybe it's a rectile dysfunction. They've got
a lot of ways to treat that, and if that's
something you suffer with, why not get it taken care of,
not only for you, but for your partner.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Also.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
They can help you with weight loss therapy. And here
recently they have added the ability to help you get
medical marijuana cards.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You can actually go see them scheduling appointment and talk
to a medical marijuana practitioner and go through that process.
So there's a lot of ways they can help you.
Give them a call fi OO two four four four
four thousand. You could check him out online at Louisville
Men's Clinic dot com. Quick update of traffick and weather.
Also a sports update coming your way right here on
news Radio eight forty whas. It is six thirty five
(11:11):
here News Radio eight forty whas. Thanks for hanging out
with us. Don't forget you could take us with you
wherever you go. Listen live on the iHeartRadio WEP also
listen live at whas dot com. Gotta be honest, John
don't know this song, not sure I've ever heard it.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Great nineties country sinces You're one hit Wonder. My one
hit Wonder, Okay didn't get as high up the charts
as it probably should have.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Shane Stockton right, yes, he's.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
It was such a one hit wonder. I believe he
is now a minister in Texas. He did this album
in left Nashville.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I am curious if the one hit Wonder is a
Is it sometimes a product of people just not wanting
to really, I guess, pursue music after that, because when
you're I mean again, I don't. I didn't really thought
about it that were talking about. But one hit wonders now,
it's just I can't imagine how they would even come about.
I guess they they they're there. But it's more so
(12:07):
just because a song became really catchy on TikTok or
it became a trendy thing on on social media, not
necessarily as much you know, airplay or charts.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
One of the one of the you know you talk
about that with the success, there was a there was
a group absolutely love it. They had two hits, the
New Radicals in the late nineties early two thousands and
a pop group, and the guy broke the band up
after after the that album came out because he says,
I didn't want this success. I just wanted to make
music and broke the band up. They had two great songs.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
More than just making music that comes with it.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
There's if people knew behind the scenes what all went
into getting records out and getting getting airplay. They they
some of these people that wanted to meet career music
probably would never get started. But if I got to
go with a more recognizable one hit wonder, I'm going
to go with the classic from the eighties and go
with the Buggles video Killed the Radio Star.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, that one's uh, that's a classic song. And again
I feel like I'm really showing my youth here because
I that's another song that that I know of it.
I could probably sing it word for word, but I
I would have never known that it was a one
hit wonder. I couldn't tell me. Not being able to
tell you who sings it doesn't mean that oh they
must have faded away. It's just that when these music,
(13:19):
when these songs became big hits. I wasn't alive some
of these.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Like with the Buggles, it was just a group of
artists that were it was a side project.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
The lead singer for the Buggles is also in the classic.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Rock group Yes, Okay, did not know.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah, so it was kind of a side project for him.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
There we go.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
The very first song played on MTV right here?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Is it really?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yes? And because I'm such a music nerd, I also
know the second song played on MTV.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
This song is awesome. It is.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
We played a couple of one hit Wonders earlier that
I'm like, yeah, take it or leave it.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I don't I could go without it, like the Macarena.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, but this this one is the one that Wonders
from the eighties or homeless they are right now. Now
you've got everybody on the edge of their seat. What
was the song? The second song that was played, You
Better Run? Pat Benatar? Okay, you love Pat Benatar by
the I've seen her live. She opened up for Journey
when we saw them about ten years ago at the
um Center, and she she stole the show.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
She was she was phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
She's on my bucket list. I'm glad she finally got
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because that
was a big question among us eighties officionados. We're seeing
all these other groups and some groups that really don't
belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame going in.
We're like, where the heck is Pat Benatar doesn't?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Doesn't her husband play with her?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Yes, okay, he's he's he's a he's her primary record producer,
one of the main songwriters, and he's Neil Girardo. He's
also the lead guitarist.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yes, she's she's great.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Now that I'm thinking of one Hit Wonders that were
like when I when I saw One Hit Wonder in
real time for the first time, it was it was
this song that I think.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
We could all agree is is up theref you'll be investing?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
That's not even the hook I know is let the
Dogs Out's gotta be.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I mean it's got to be up there, right, I mean.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Well, you know what you know?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Another one from Baja Men, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Oh man, another one that has that has lived forever
and I'm trying to look at I can't remember the artist.
Oh Inner Circle.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Bad Boys, Okay, yeah, bad Boys. I just know that
from Copsy.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The theme is Cops.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
It's been in the movies. I was actually listening to
eighties on eighth the other day and it actually played
just just a regular song. I used this song when
I was doing public address for my old high school,
the Middle of High School Bulldogs back in the early
ninety early two thousands, and that was the song i'd
play to do their starting lineup.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Oh, I mean, I would be willing.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I'd be willing to bet that the that the Baja
men in rotation most frequently at this point in twenty
twenty five is probably in high school gymnasiums. Yeah, I mean,
I would be willing to bet that that's where they
are getting regular rotation, if anywhere.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Lance McGarvey maybe playing it over there during timeouts at
the Young Center, who knows.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, Baja men, What are those guys up to now?
Wonder nothing? They're not even doing Geico commercials.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I mean, I mean that is, if you're in a
group and you're a one hit wonder, not as much
ability to maximize on it, right, because you're not as
recognizable if you're just this, if you're just you know,
the the guy or the girl it's a little bit easier.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Johnny gil came out of the group of the Bobby
Brown was in, had a one hit Wonder, and disappeared again.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
One hit wonders.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I'm sure you'll find a mixed bag of thoughts on
the whole thing. I'm sure some are appreciative of what
it did for them, probably change their life in a
good way.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
And then I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Others probably see it as a I wish people would
have known me for more than just that song.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Safety Dance over in my head? Is that a song?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It is?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Okay, I'm sure if I heard it, I would know
we can dance if we want. Yeah, and then that's
a good one.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
This song from this is I hate that this is
a one hit Wonder because I happened to just love
this music. But it's mostly just known for being in
the movie Not at the Roxbury. But the song itself
was called Hotaway or I'm sorry, the group is called
Hotaway and the song is what is love?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Love that sung? I mean not at the Rocks?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
I do the head Bob the Time.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
One of the best stupid movies you'll find Chris Catan,
Will Ferrell, What a to Do Well? We should have
got more movies out of those guys. But yes, all right,
let's get to a quick up bit of trafficking weather
right here on news Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
This is just a good vibe, that's what this is.
Good stuff. All right, it's Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
It's morning news, coffee and company with you here on
news radio eight forty whas. Currently we've got a crash
on the Snyder eastbound ramp to I sixty five, and
that is that is blocking that ramp, so uh, just
be advised there there's gonna be some delays and crews
are working to clear up that scene right now. So again,
it is Snyder eastbound ramp to I sixty five that
(17:49):
is currently blocked. So yesterday some really cool news about
Louisville Metro emergency Services now being able to better help
those who pick up the phone to call none one.
So the new tool here is they're going to be
able to visually see those who are calling. So this
is I'm not sure how how how many other cities,
(18:13):
law enforcement offices or other emergency services across the country
have this, but not a surprise that this is. This
is I'm assuming I'm going to become a thing worldwide
because with the technological advancements that we have today in society,
this just makes just makes too much sense not to
have something of something visual whenever you do pick up
(18:35):
the phone to call, So after you call nine one one,
you'll get a text asking permission to activate your phone's camera.
Once approved, call takers can then see the surroundings in
real time. So benefits here are fewer questions for callers
because the visual may be able to give those that
are taking the calls a better idea of sort of
what's going on. You get faster, more accurate responses from
(18:58):
first responders. For example, if you are somebody that's stranded
somewhere downtown, you could be located pretty quickly because dispatchers
are going to be able to see visually and probably
be trained to visually, have a better idea of seeing
where you are. Then you know, just the average the
average person.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
So there's also.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Situations where you pick up the phone to call nine
on one and you can't speak because of a you know,
you're being it's a domestic violin situation, maybe you're being
held hostage, active shooter or that kind of thing, and
that's where this could really really come in handy. So
videos are going to be recorded just like calls, and
eventually live video feeds will be shared directly with the
responders that are in the field getting ready to go assist.
(19:42):
So not only will this be I mean you got
to keep in mind, this will this will help from
a criminal standpoint as well. I mean, if none one
one it has the visual of the person who's called,
I mean that could be evidence that helps, you know,
it helps catch people who commit crimes and whatnot. So
not a surprise that that we're that we're here from
a technological standpoint and can only help those at Louisville
(20:06):
Metro Emergency Services keep people safe. And again that's a
that's a job that does not get the love that
that it that it deserves, because I mean, you are
in a highly stressful situation. Uh you's I mean the
pressure of knowing that someone's picked up the phone to
call because of an emergency, emergency situation that at times
(20:27):
is life and death and you've got to be cool, collected,
You've got to get all the information necessary. I mean,
it's it's it's something you clearly are trained to do
and uh, certainly you make a big impact. All right,
quick update of traffick and whether we've got another sports
update on the way. Don't forget louisvill Mayor Craig Greenberg
set to join us at eight o'clock right here on
news Radio eight forty w h A s.
Six oh five here at News Radio eight forty whas
coffee and company with you. Thanks for hanging out with
us as we help you get your Thursday started. So
we do have an accident six sixty five south after
the Gene Snyder, and it's unclear just how much of
a delay we're seeing right now on the roadways, but
again sixty five near the Snyder. In fact, there's another
(00:23):
incident that is sixty five north of the Snyder. So
does look here from our partners over their woky, they're
live coverage of this. Doesn't look like there's any real
big delays at this point, but again a lot of
folks maybe haven't hit the roadways just yet, so be
careful and we will have another update for you on
traffic in about five minutes or so. All right, Currently,
(00:43):
Louisville police are searching for a man who is accused
of inappropriately touching a girl outside of a school.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And they do have video.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It's not great they of course even acknowledge that, but
they have video of the suspect running away. And this
is the kind of thing that I'm hopeful that will
get enough attention that somebody, despite not being able to
really see a clear face, somebody will maybe notice the area,
the build, or maybe just unfortunately, maybe you know someone
(01:12):
that you might think would do something like this. I
can't imagine there's nobody on that I know in any
way that I'm like, yeah, this might be him. This
is the kind of thing that person would do. But anything,
anything helps as far as just spread spreading words. So
the Facebook post from l and PD yesterday, So the
girl was waiting near MacCready and Richmond Avenues in Crescent
(01:32):
Hill around three o'clock on September eighteenth, so that was
last week, and the man pictured above allegedly approached her
and inappropriately touched her before running away. And that's what
you can see is video of this individual running away.
So according to police, the victim was able to protect
herself and she captured video of the suspect as he
ran through a yard and around a corner down the street.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So they did post that video.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And good on the victim to I mean, I think,
but have been totally understandable if the instincts weren't there
to kick in and get your phone out and try
to document this awful human being. So L and PD
spokesman John Bradley said this quote. The young lady was
standing here in this area and she was approached and
inappropriately touched by the man in this video. She screamed
(02:16):
her attention to herself and scared him away.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So I just whoever this person is, hopefully they are
apprehended soon.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And I mean, I'm just gonna not say anything else
because I just can't imagine someone doing this.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But people are awful. There are awful people that do.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
These kind of things, and we hope that they can
be they can be captured and kept off the street.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
All right.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Today is a big day. It's National One Hit Wonder Day.
And there's not one specific song that comes to mind
for me when I think of one hit wonders. I
you know, the mac Arena probably is. I'm just off
the top of my head. When I think of of
of of a one hit wonder, that's the first one
(03:05):
that comes to mind for me. But there are many
of them, and I've always found myself feeling bad for
people who are one hit wonders because you know, there
that the overall I guess, uh, the one hit wonders
are talented people, of course, but that's what they're known for.
(03:25):
Like and being a one hit wonder means you had
one song and you really couldn't do anything else. But
sometimes it's because your song is so huge and it
is is rare, like what else are you gonna It's
like it's like getting type cast in a show like
Screech Dustin Diamond from Save by the Bell, like Rkle
and I guess he's been in some other stuff joelil White,
Like what else are they gonna do? You're gonna know
them for those roles. I don't even know who sings Mackarna,
(03:50):
but sure enough, like I'm not sure what else they've
gotten the bag that would be that would stand out
as a as a as a as a as a
hit that could survive on its own.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So the Macarena is by Los del Rio. Okay for
your reference, there a pop duo. Yeah, I mean were
a pop duo maybe, I.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Mean, and that's one of like the most played songs ever, right,
Like I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I would imagine, so, I mean, it was number one
for fourteen weeks between August and November of nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It reminds me of the skating rink when I was
a little kid.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Makes me think of weddings from back in the.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Day, Like some of these one hit wonders that just become,
you know, so big and they're played billions of times.
You know, it takes some magic to make it that, right, Like,
I'm not sure it was a different time back in
the day when this song came out, But I don't
know what made it be a you know again, it's
it's catchy, it's a dance and all that, but I'm
(04:46):
not really sure what led it to be as popular
as it actually was. Right, not to say that like
it's a bad song, but I don't know, it's just, uh,
it's one of those things that that timing is on
your side. Clearly, there's some there's influential people within the
music industry that can really help you, really help you.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Make it big.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But really, if you play something a billion times, especially
back then, whenever like or one hit wonders as doable
now because because you don't have one hit wonders became
a thing for a variety of reasons back in the day,
but more often than not, we didn't have access to
listen to anything other than with the radio stations were playing, right, Like,
you couldn't get on the internet and download something you didn't.
(05:25):
I mean, you were just at the mercy of what
radio stations would play unless you would go out and
buy an album, CD, you know, a record. And now
you can just simply choose whatever you want to listen to.
So if they force feed us certain songs they become
catchy you, then you know, you learn to love them.
I guess over time. But now that's just that's harder
(05:48):
to do. But I've got a list here, we'll get through.
We'll get through it throughout the morning here. But the
biggest one hit Wonders by decade eighties, nineties, two thousands,
twenty tens. I didn't even have to look before I
knew that. In twenty ten's the Harlem Shake. Remember that one.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I was going to say, teaching me how to Dougi's
one that I think of those reached. Yeah, I on there.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It's not listed in the twenty ten I'm not even
sure when that one came out. But no, that's.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Uh, that is that didn't probably hit like mainstream radio
one hit wonder.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
As far as like that popular.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But no, it's absolutely a song that like most people
within our twenty years, within our age range, like it
was in.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Callie Swag District. Yeah, you tell you another song.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I'm not sure what their catalog consists of outside of
that song. So all right, let's get to a quick
time out tracking weather updates on the way. What I
want to get to coming up a little bit later on.
By the way, we are going to have Mayor Greenberg
join us at eight o'clock this morning. But l and
PD they have they've got a new well I say,
louisll not just LMPD, but Louisville nine one one has
added some video capability which I think can can only
(06:50):
help right when it comes to addressing emergency situations whenever
people have to pick up a phone and call nine
one one. So we'll get to that in a lot more.
Right here on News Radio eight forty whas. It is
six't eighteen here at News Radio eight forty whas. And
this is this is a one hit wonder on national
one Hit Wonder Day. This is your go to one
(07:11):
hit wonder song.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I think of all the time it used to be
our on our weekly radio show when I was in college.
This was our last bumper music every single time we
would do the show.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
That's fitting Chumbo wumba right tub thumping. This song is
called tob thumping. I don't think I knew that, so
rewind it just just about thirty five forty seconds because
I'm go, yeah, we go right where you just wear.
I used to think there's no way they're actually saying
(07:41):
what I think they're saying.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
But they are. They are saying yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Like I remember, like as a kid, this song came
out in ninety seven. I remember as a kid listening
to this in the car with my mother, and because
it was the only thing played on the radio, I
think for about a year, it seemed like and I
was singing along and I was saying kissing the night away,
and I remember my looking at me and laughing and saying,
that's not what they're saying, honey, And I'm like.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
What are they saying?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And then she told me, and I was like, what
does that mean? That's that's that doesn't make any sense.
But yeah, this is This is absolutely Mount Rushmore one hit.
Wonder because there's really no reason why this song became
so popular, but it did. And I mean it came
out when you were born.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
They never had any other hits in the United States.
They're a British band.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Are they still around?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
They have a lot of music. I was just looking
it up, but I've never heard any of it other
than this man.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I tell you what the life of a one hit wonder.
You got to find that balance because I'm sure if
you are truly an artist that really just wants to,
you know, be an artist and create and not be
known for one specific song, you want somebody to see
your value and and I mean you want to have
a long running career. But eventually, I guess when you can,
(08:54):
when you can accept that you know that didn't happen,
they didn't work out for you, you can still absolutely
utilize the power of that one hit for a long
long time. And I know there's some that just fade
off into normal lives and and uh, they probably don't
want to be recognized. But then there's others that I'm
(09:14):
sure are still touring and I'm sure it's not arenas
that are sold out, but they are. You know, they're
still able to make a living and probably live a
pretty good lifestyle because of one hit that really changed
changed everything. So I can get how it would be
difficult if you are somebody that, especially if it's a
song that like you didn't really create, like you signed
with a label. They have a gimmicky song that they
(09:37):
just knew would be really catchy because of where music
was at that time.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And yet you you're only known.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
For that like that would that would stick with you
as a creative person and an artist. But I mean,
once you can get over that, you can there's no
doubt you can absolutely really cash in. I mean not
even talking about like the royalties, because I'm sure the
label is the one getting most that money, but just
there appearances that kind of stuff. So all right, lets
talk about the Litiville Men's Clinic. Shaow we fellas. They
(10:04):
have helped me, and I want them to help you.
You may not even know that you need help, and
I guess there's always the situation where you maybe don't
actually need help, but it is always worth having a
conversation just to see. Because I was someone that didn't
realize that my testosteron levels were not where they were
supposed to be for somebody in my age range, I
just assume, well, hey, I guess this is life when
you get to be a certain age.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
And I was wrong. Now that my levels are where
they're supposed to be for my age range. I feel better.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'm getting way more out of my workouts than I
used to, and it is not an exaggeration to say
that they have changed my life. So maybe it's low
t for you. Maybe it's a rectile dysfunction. They've got
a lot of ways to treat that, and if that's
something you suffer with, why not get it taken care of,
not only for you, but for your partner.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Also.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
They can help you with weight loss therapy. And here
recently they have added the ability to help you get
medical marijuana cards.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You can actually go see them scheduling appointment and talk
to a medical marijuana practitioner and go through that process.
So there's a lot of ways they can help you.
Give them a call fi OO two four four four
four thousand. You could check him out online at Louisville
Men's Clinic dot com. Quick update of traffick and weather.
Also a sports update coming your way right here on
news Radio eight forty whas. It is six thirty five
(11:11):
here News Radio eight forty whas. Thanks for hanging out
with us. Don't forget you could take us with you
wherever you go. Listen live on the iHeartRadio WEP also
listen live at whas dot com. Gotta be honest, John
don't know this song, not sure I've ever heard it.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Great nineties country sinces You're one hit Wonder. My one
hit Wonder, Okay didn't get as high up the charts
as it probably should have.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Shane Stockton right, yes, he's.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
It was such a one hit wonder. I believe he
is now a minister in Texas. He did this album
in left Nashville.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I am curious if the one hit Wonder is a
Is it sometimes a product of people just not wanting
to really, I guess, pursue music after that, because when
you're I mean again, I don't. I didn't really thought
about it that were talking about. But one hit wonders now,
it's just I can't imagine how they would even come about.
I guess they they they're there. But it's more so
(12:07):
just because a song became really catchy on TikTok or
it became a trendy thing on on social media, not
necessarily as much you know, airplay or charts.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
One of the one of the you know you talk
about that with the success, there was a there was
a group absolutely love it. They had two hits, the
New Radicals in the late nineties early two thousands and
a pop group, and the guy broke the band up
after after the that album came out because he says,
I didn't want this success. I just wanted to make
music and broke the band up. They had two great songs.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
More than just making music that comes with it.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
There's if people knew behind the scenes what all went
into getting records out and getting getting airplay. They they
some of these people that wanted to meet career music
probably would never get started. But if I got to
go with a more recognizable one hit wonder, I'm going
to go with the classic from the eighties and go
with the Buggles video Killed the Radio Star.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, that one's uh, that's a classic song. And again
I feel like I'm really showing my youth here because
I that's another song that that I know of it.
I could probably sing it word for word, but I
I would have never known that it was a one
hit wonder. I couldn't tell me. Not being able to
tell you who sings it doesn't mean that oh they
must have faded away. It's just that when these music,
(13:19):
when these songs became big hits. I wasn't alive some
of these.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Like with the Buggles, it was just a group of
artists that were it was a side project.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
The lead singer for the Buggles is also in the classic.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Rock group Yes, Okay, did not know.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah, so it was kind of a side project for him.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
There we go.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
The very first song played on MTV right here?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Is it really?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yes? And because I'm such a music nerd, I also
know the second song played on MTV.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
This song is awesome. It is.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
We played a couple of one hit Wonders earlier that
I'm like, yeah, take it or leave it.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I don't I could go without it, like the Macarena.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, but this this one is the one that Wonders
from the eighties or homeless they are right now. Now
you've got everybody on the edge of their seat. What
was the song? The second song that was played, You
Better Run? Pat Benatar? Okay, you love Pat Benatar by
the I've seen her live. She opened up for Journey
when we saw them about ten years ago at the
um Center, and she she stole the show.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
She was she was phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
She's on my bucket list. I'm glad she finally got
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because that
was a big question among us eighties officionados. We're seeing
all these other groups and some groups that really don't
belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame going in.
We're like, where the heck is Pat Benatar doesn't?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Doesn't her husband play with her?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Yes, okay, he's he's he's a he's her primary record producer,
one of the main songwriters, and he's Neil Girardo. He's
also the lead guitarist.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yes, she's she's great.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Now that I'm thinking of one Hit Wonders that were
like when I when I saw One Hit Wonder in
real time for the first time, it was it was
this song that I think.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
We could all agree is is up theref you'll be investing?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
That's not even the hook I know is let the
Dogs Out's gotta be.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I mean it's got to be up there, right, I mean.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Well, you know what you know?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Another one from Baja Men, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Oh man, another one that has that has lived forever
and I'm trying to look at I can't remember the artist.
Oh Inner Circle.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Bad Boys, Okay, yeah, bad Boys. I just know that
from Copsy.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The theme is Cops.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
It's been in the movies. I was actually listening to
eighties on eighth the other day and it actually played
just just a regular song. I used this song when
I was doing public address for my old high school,
the Middle of High School Bulldogs back in the early
ninety early two thousands, and that was the song i'd
play to do their starting lineup.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Oh, I mean, I would be willing.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I'd be willing to bet that the that the Baja
men in rotation most frequently at this point in twenty
twenty five is probably in high school gymnasiums. Yeah, I mean,
I would be willing to bet that that's where they
are getting regular rotation, if anywhere.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Lance McGarvey maybe playing it over there during timeouts at
the Young Center, who knows.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, Baja men, What are those guys up to now?
Wonder nothing? They're not even doing Geico commercials.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I mean, I mean that is, if you're in a
group and you're a one hit wonder, not as much
ability to maximize on it, right, because you're not as
recognizable if you're just this, if you're just you know,
the the guy or the girl it's a little bit easier.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Johnny gil came out of the group of the Bobby
Brown was in, had a one hit Wonder, and disappeared again.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
One hit wonders.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I'm sure you'll find a mixed bag of thoughts on
the whole thing. I'm sure some are appreciative of what
it did for them, probably change their life in a
good way.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
And then I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Others probably see it as a I wish people would
have known me for more than just that song.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Safety Dance over in my head? Is that a song?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It is?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Okay, I'm sure if I heard it, I would know
we can dance if we want. Yeah, and then that's
a good one.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
This song from this is I hate that this is
a one hit Wonder because I happened to just love
this music. But it's mostly just known for being in
the movie Not at the Roxbury. But the song itself
was called Hotaway or I'm sorry, the group is called
Hotaway and the song is what is love?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Love that sung? I mean not at the Rocks?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
I do the head Bob the Time.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
One of the best stupid movies you'll find Chris Catan,
Will Ferrell, What a to Do Well? We should have
got more movies out of those guys. But yes, all right,
let's get to a quick up bit of trafficking weather
right here on news Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
This is just a good vibe, that's what this is.
Good stuff. All right, it's Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
It's morning news, coffee and company with you here on
news radio eight forty whas. Currently we've got a crash
on the Snyder eastbound ramp to I sixty five, and
that is that is blocking that ramp, so uh, just
be advised there there's gonna be some delays and crews
are working to clear up that scene right now. So again,
it is Snyder eastbound ramp to I sixty five that
(17:49):
is currently blocked. So yesterday some really cool news about
Louisville Metro emergency Services now being able to better help
those who pick up the phone to call none one.
So the new tool here is they're going to be
able to visually see those who are calling. So this
is I'm not sure how how how many other cities,
(18:13):
law enforcement offices or other emergency services across the country
have this, but not a surprise that this is. This
is I'm assuming I'm going to become a thing worldwide
because with the technological advancements that we have today in society,
this just makes just makes too much sense not to
have something of something visual whenever you do pick up
(18:35):
the phone to call, So after you call nine one one,
you'll get a text asking permission to activate your phone's camera.
Once approved, call takers can then see the surroundings in
real time. So benefits here are fewer questions for callers
because the visual may be able to give those that
are taking the calls a better idea of sort of
what's going on. You get faster, more accurate responses from
(18:58):
first responders. For example, if you are somebody that's stranded
somewhere downtown, you could be located pretty quickly because dispatchers
are going to be able to see visually and probably
be trained to visually, have a better idea of seeing
where you are. Then you know, just the average the
average person.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
So there's also.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Situations where you pick up the phone to call nine
on one and you can't speak because of a you know,
you're being it's a domestic violin situation, maybe you're being
held hostage, active shooter or that kind of thing, and
that's where this could really really come in handy. So
videos are going to be recorded just like calls, and
eventually live video feeds will be shared directly with the
responders that are in the field getting ready to go assist.
(19:42):
So not only will this be I mean you got
to keep in mind, this will this will help from
a criminal standpoint as well. I mean, if none one
one it has the visual of the person who's called,
I mean that could be evidence that helps, you know,
it helps catch people who commit crimes and whatnot. So
not a surprise that that we're that we're here from
a technological standpoint and can only help those at Louisville
(20:06):
Metro Emergency Services keep people safe. And again that's a
that's a job that does not get the love that
that it that it deserves, because I mean, you are
in a highly stressful situation. Uh you's I mean the
pressure of knowing that someone's picked up the phone to
call because of an emergency, emergency situation that at times
(20:27):
is life and death and you've got to be cool, collected,
You've got to get all the information necessary. I mean,
it's it's it's something you clearly are trained to do
and uh, certainly you make a big impact. All right,
quick update of traffick and whether we've got another sports
update on the way. Don't forget louisvill Mayor Craig Greenberg
set to join us at eight o'clock right here on
news Radio eight forty w h A s.
