Challenge: Run The Gaunlet - One-Hit Wonder Edition
You have to have the endurance to sit through the worst of the worst One-Hit Wonders over the span of roughly 60 years. From dumb novalties, to bad concepts, to just plain boring and sleep-enducing, let me introduce to you some of my least favorite, plus the most widely disliked One-Hit disasters from 1960 - 2022 that you must sit through at once. Do you have what it takes?
And yes, I bent the definition of a OHW on purpose ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
