Johnny Acecraft (of intergalactic pop band Spalien Acecraft) performs his One Hit Wonder. This video is edited together from three separate performances: at Rowan Caves, Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2009; at the 3 and 10 Club, Brighton (both as part of 'Earth Calling Johnny Acecraft'); and at the Marlborough Theatre, Brighton. Filmed by Carolina Ortega, Becki Hodgson and Flik Hopkins. The song makes fleeting musical/lyrical reference to songs by M, Arthur Brown, Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Chumbawamba, and probably a few more. Words: I wanna be a one hit wonder Wanna get to the top and then I wanna go under Wanna be known for a song you hear so many times It'll make you chunder Wanna be a one hit wonder Like a flash in the pan or a rumble of thunder Wanna be big for a gig then leg it With a stash of cash to the distant tundra I wanna taste fame, wanna feature in your frame Want my name to be admissible in the name game I wanna go far, wanna live five-star Want caviar, flashy car, twelve-string guitar I insist on my fifteen minutes, I'm in it to win it I don't care if you bag it and bin it I want a quick go at being someone people know So let's get on with the show I wanna be a one hit wonder Wanna smash radio playlists asunder Wanna be hip for a bit then quit With one hit to my credit and a mountain of plunder I wanna have a one hit wonder Like Tubthumping by Chumbawumba Years in the underground, cultivating sound All wrecked in a second thanks to one pop blunder I wanna get knocked down, and I wanna stay down I don't wanna keep clowning around I wanna have one hit, and that's it And then I'm gonna get out of town I want a brief litmus test of the dizzy heights of pop success I'll stick around while I'm renowned then I'll bugger off for a well-earned rest I am the God of...Pop Muzik! And I bring you...Pop Muzik! And when you're the God of...Pop Muzik! Use it, and abuse it. Check my videos for more Words and music written by John Hinton Copyright © 2010, all rights reserved
