Song of the Day - September 25th is officially National One Hit Wonder Day - and each year this begs the eternal question of what is the “greatest” one hit wonder… I never really waver from my choice - “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” is, for me, the greatest ever one hit wonder. Written by Paul Leka, Gary DeCarlo and Dale Frashuer, it was delivered by the group called Steam, or Steem, in 1969. The songwriting trio had been a doo-wop group in Connecticut, but disbanded and moved to New York City to be producers for Fontana Records. The executives liked their singing and their repertoire so much, they indulged them to record everything they had. They resurrected this song “Kiss Him Goodbye” from their old doo-wop stuff, and recorded this single, with DiCarlo on lead vocal, in less than an hour. They felt it needed to be longer, and so they wrote more as they recorded - adding in the Na Na’s and Hey,Hey’s, and adding an old previously recorded drum track from another session. I think of this recording session as the stars aligning somehow especially specially. Sometimes it is the unsuspected bit of seeming nothing-special-ness that becomes magically something very very special. The single hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart the first week of December 1969, riding out the 60’s on that jammed chart. And at the point, the single has reached multi-platinum status, having sold nearly 7 million copies. It has been used in countless movies, and TV shows, commercials, and is played at sporting events, as what they call a “taunt chant” … which, in the same spirit, has been sung on the floor of Congress, at least twice famously, to illustrate that those voting on a certain bill would soon lose their seats for their votes. At least for me, this song never ages, and never doesn’t stop me in my tracks, to sing along and just shake me out of any blue spot…” Now... just for fun, whats your favorite One Hit Wonder? ... see my list below of some worthy nominees...

Today’s disabled character of the day is Steem from Legend of Zelda, who is a wheelchair user
AU where everything else is the same except the Lokomos ride around on steam powered hoverboards and segways instead of the wheelchairs.
Artfight attack for @smokerails ! Steem was the first character of his I ever drew, so ofc I had to draw him again!
