In 1987, an up-and-coming film director named Spike Lee was working on his first major film after achieving success in the indie world. School Daze was based on Spike’s own college experiences, and he needed the ultimate party jam for the soundtrack. He commissioned D.C.’s favorite go-go funk band, E.U., to record “Da’ Butt,” and the world was never the same. The song sounds like a party because it really kind of is. Spike brought members of the film’s cast to the studio, and all the energy and laughter captured on the track is real.Tune in to learn more about E.U., and never forget what people in 1988 were shouting on dance floors from coast to coast: “Ain’t nothin’ wrong if you wanna do the butt all night long!” One Hit Thunder is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.

Ever wonder what happened to those artists who gave us a single unforgettable song before vanishing from the charts? One Hit Thunder digs into that very mystery, hosted by musician Chris Fafalios of Punchline and Matt Kelly from Geekscape. Each episode pairs them with a different guest-bandmates, touring pals, or fellow musicians-to revisit a classic one-hit wonder. They don't just play the hit; they embark on a deep dive through the entire catalog of the artist or band behind it, uncovering hidden gems, bizarre B-sides, and the stories that explain their fleeting moment in the spotlight. The conversation is loose, funny, and informed by a genuine love for music, blending comedy with insightful critique. You'll hear the familiar thunderclap of that one massive track, followed by the surprising, often hilarious exploration of everything else that followed-or didn't. It’s a podcast for anyone who’s ever shouted along to a chorus on the radio and then asked, “But what else did they do?” This Geekscape production finds the rich, strange, and human details in the careers of pop culture’s most fascinating almost-weres.
