There's a line in this song that goes "a doggie isn't a doggie if he don't have a bone". In the Bahamas a doggie is slang for a cock. They call a pussy a crabbie.

Just some useless information.

Chesney!! I am the one and only.

I’m going to court controversy here, but AI defines “one-hit wonders as musical artists known for a single, massive hit song that defines their career, overshadowing all other work, or for having no comparable subsequent success.”

So I guess they can have other releases, as long as they aren’t successful (at least not in uk charts).

Honourable mentions for:

Europe - the final countdown

Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellite

Mental As Anything - Live it Up
