Dust off your flannel shirts and baggy pants because the Back in Time Brothers are transporting you straight to the "retro wave zone" of 1992! This week, DJ Paulie and Lou are cracking open the record crates to count down the most iconic, infectious, and sometimes bizarre one-hit wonders that defined the year the music bit back.
From the smooth soul of Curtis Stigers to the "cultural earthquake" of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s "Baby Got Back" , we’re revisiting the tracks that owned the radio for a moment and then vanished into the shadows .
Inside This Episode:
- The Ultimate 1992 Countdown: Join DJ Brit as she counts down the top 10 one-hit wonders, including the Irish-American hip-hop swagger of House of Pain , the "tongue-in-cheek" fashion anthem from Right Said Fred , and the TV-to-radio crossover success of The Heights .
- Random Facts: Did you know the first SMS text message was sent in 1992? Or that the crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavor brought frogs into orbit to see if they could reproduce in zero gravity ? (Spoiler: They could !)
- Rock Talk – The Dark Side: Todd Snider dives deep into the scandals of '92, from the literal firestorm of the Metallica and Guns N' Roses riot in Montreal to the bizarre family tree of the Rolling Stones’ Bill Wyman .
- Movie & TV Rewind: We’re talking about the year Tom Hanks told us "there’s no crying in baseball" and Full House was giving us "Have mercy" on the small screen .
- The Ones That Didn’t Make It: Find out why Billy Ray Cyrus was "screwed" out of the list (mostly because Paulie just can't stand "Achy Breaky Heart").
