Stuck In Thee Garage #96: September 18, 2015

It's not easy to score a top 40 hit. A lot of things have to go right, not the least of which involves the music. The funny thing is, technically a one-hit wonder is an artist who scores a top 40 hit on the Billboard singles chart only once. This definition means a lot of successful and even legendary artists are considered one-hit wonders, as you'll hear in this week's installment of Stuck In Thee Garage radio.

Some of these songs will make you say, "Take off, eh?"
