Hi everyone, I am Jeff, and welcome to History and

2
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.309
Factoids About Today, presented by Cool Media. Today's September the 25th.

3
00:00:47.090 --> 00:00:49.289
Today is National One-Hit Wonder Day.

4
00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:50.429
Woo-hoo!

5
00:00:51.070 --> 00:00:53.590
One-Hit Wonders, that can happen in every aspect of life,

6
00:00:53.649 --> 00:00:56.420
but today it's all about the music. Now, everyone has

7
00:00:56.460 --> 00:00:59.820
their own list of their top one-hit wonders. Yeah, we

8
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:01.240
didn't agree with any of them, so we made up

9
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.439
our own list. Now, we're going to play clips of

10
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:06.079
our top 10 one-hit wonders throughout the show. As you

11
00:01:06.099 --> 00:01:08.319
can tell, we start off at number 10 with Rapper's

12
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.620
Delight by Sugarhill Gang. Okay, let's see what's going on

13
00:01:12.659 --> 00:01:16.280
in entertainment on September the 25th back in 2019. Number

14
00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:19.719
one album was Hollywood's Bleeding by Post Malone. Lizzo had

15
00:01:19.739 --> 00:01:45.549
the number one song with Truth Hurts. Blanco Brown. He

16
00:01:45.569 --> 00:01:47.370
had the number one country song with The Get Up.

17
00:01:48.090 --> 00:01:50.769
The number one movie was The Abominable.

18
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:12.500
A Yeti.

19
00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:14.500
He needs three teenagers to help him get back to

20
00:02:14.539 --> 00:02:17.000
his family. He's been hunted by a zoologist and also

21
00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:20.810
a rich guy. Voiced by Chloe Bennett, Albert Tsai, and

22
00:02:20.870 --> 00:02:25.610
Tenzing Norgay, trainer. Tenzing, yeah, his grandfather was Tenzing Norgay,

23
00:02:25.650 --> 00:02:28.270
the mountain climber who climbed Mount Everest for the first

24
00:02:28.310 --> 00:02:52.310
time with Edmund Hillary. You know I'm not our number

25
00:02:52.409 --> 00:02:55.229
nine one hit wonder stacy's mom by fountains of wayne

26
00:02:55.409 --> 00:02:57.449
all right what happened in the world on september the

27
00:02:57.490 --> 00:03:02.550
25th 1513 spanish explorer vasco nunez de baboa he landed

28
00:03:02.629 --> 00:03:05.969
on the atlantic side of panama Now Balboa and 190

29
00:03:05.969 --> 00:03:08.520
of his men decided to take a hike. Today, after

30
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.659
25 days of hiking through jungle and swamps and crossing rivers,

31
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.560
became the first Europeans to see the Pacific Ocean. So

32
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.439
how did Balboa know where to cross, where the distance

33
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:22.169
between the Atlantic and the Pacific was the shortest? Communication error. See,

34
00:03:22.210 --> 00:03:24.669
when Balboa and his men started hiking, they had some

35
00:03:24.710 --> 00:03:26.590
native guides. They wanted them to show them where they

36
00:03:26.610 --> 00:03:28.650
could find gold. The guides thought they wanted to show

37
00:03:28.669 --> 00:03:31.389
them how they could cross the land bridge. In 1690

38
00:03:31.389 --> 00:03:34.620
in Boston, Benjamin Harris, he published the first newspaper in

39
00:03:34.629 --> 00:03:37.759
the American colonies called The Public Occurrence. Now, after that

40
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.919
first issue hit the streets, the governor of Massachusetts, he

41
00:03:40.939 --> 00:03:43.000
didn't like it at all. He didn't want anybody writing

42
00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:44.979
about what he was doing. So he had that paper

43
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.939
shut down. So Benjamin Harris, not only did he have

44
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:49.900
the first newspaper, yeah, the first one that got shut

45
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.870
down too. I guess he had that right. 1789, the

46
00:03:53.930 --> 00:03:56.469
Bill of Rights in the United States Constitution was submitted

47
00:03:56.509 --> 00:04:01.610
to the states for ratification. Came back two years later, ratified. 1844,

48
00:04:01.629 --> 00:04:03.990
Canada beat the United States by 23 runs in their

49
00:04:04.030 --> 00:04:07.509
first North American cricket match. United States decided cricket was

50
00:04:07.550 --> 00:04:11.050
a stupid sport and we haven't played it since. 1878,

51
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.860
a British doctor named Charles Drysdale. He had a letter

52
00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:16.379
printed in the London Times newspaper. It was the first

53
00:04:16.420 --> 00:04:19.259
time ever that anybody warned and got the health benefits

54
00:04:19.379 --> 00:04:22.259
or the health trouble with smoking. Yeah, nobody believed the guy.

55
00:04:23.209 --> 00:04:25.709
World War I in 1915 in France, the Battle of

56
00:04:25.750 --> 00:04:28.860
Luz was fought. Great Britain, they responded to Germany when

57
00:04:28.889 --> 00:04:31.680
Germany used chemical weapons. So Great Britain, they launched a

58
00:04:31.689 --> 00:04:34.439
bunch of chlorine gas. But the wind blew the chlorine

59
00:04:34.459 --> 00:04:38.399
back onto the British troops, resulting in 59,000 British casualties

60
00:04:38.660 --> 00:04:41.459
and 26,000 German casualties.

61
00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:41.720
1919, U.S.

62
00:04:41.779 --> 00:04:45.579
President Woodrow Wilson, he suffered a physical breakdown in Pueblo, Colorado,

63
00:04:45.980 --> 00:04:49.040
basically had a stroke. His health never recovered at all,

64
00:04:49.420 --> 00:04:53.199
but his wife hid it for the rest of his term. 1981,

65
00:04:53.339 --> 00:04:55.540
Sandra Day O'Connor. She was sworn in as the first

66
00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:59.149
woman United States Supreme Court Justice.

67
00:04:59.149 --> 00:04:59.389
1983, St.

68
00:04:59.430 --> 00:05:01.910
Louis Cardinals pitcher is Bob Forsh. He threw a no-hitter

69
00:05:01.949 --> 00:05:04.930
against the Montreal Expos. That was payback for that cricket game.

70
00:05:04.949 --> 00:05:05.910
I get no doubt.

71
00:05:05.939 --> 00:05:06.439
I'm not getting old again.

72
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.120
Good to have you, though.

73
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.319
How many of you actually know that tub thumping is

74
00:05:27.379 --> 00:05:29.610
actually the name of that Chumbawoma song? Well, we have

75
00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:32.290
it at number eight. All right, let's go do some birthdays.

76
00:05:47.740 --> 00:05:50.740
All righty, who all was born on September the 25th? Well,

77
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.759
we'll start off with Barbara Walters. She was born in

78
00:05:53.819 --> 00:05:56.870
Boston in 1929. 1976, she became the first woman to

79
00:05:56.970 --> 00:05:59.829
anchor a network newscast. Barbara, though, she's most known for

80
00:05:59.870 --> 00:06:05.089
all her TV specials. She interviewed everybody, politicians, heads of state, entertainers, athletes,

81
00:06:05.490 --> 00:06:08.810
any public figure. Her most watched special was in 1999

82
00:06:08.810 --> 00:06:11.350
when she interviewed Monica Lewinsky. Now, that is still the

83
00:06:11.389 --> 00:06:15.120
most watched interview in TV history. 74 million people watched it. Now,

84
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.500
after 65 years of groundbreaking journalism, Barbara, she ruined it all. Yeah,

85
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.329
she created a TV show called The View. Barbara, she

86
00:06:22.370 --> 00:06:24.709
had one daughter from her second husband. She married her

87
00:06:24.750 --> 00:06:27.350
third husband twice, but neither one of them stuck. See,

88
00:06:27.389 --> 00:06:31.589
Barb died in 2022 at 93 years old. Actor Michael Douglas,

89
00:06:31.629 --> 00:06:34.269
he's 82 years old today. He was born in New Brunswick,

90
00:06:34.290 --> 00:06:38.160
New Jersey in 1944. His dad was famous actor Kirk Douglas.

91
00:06:38.339 --> 00:06:40.060
Michael made a name for himself, though, when he produced

92
00:06:40.100 --> 00:06:42.189
the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Yeah, got

93
00:06:42.250 --> 00:06:44.350
a Best Picture Oscar for it. He won a Best

94
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.990
Acting Oscar for Wall Street. Douglas, he had one son

95
00:06:47.009 --> 00:06:49.449
from his first wife. Married his second wife in 2000.

96
00:06:49.449 --> 00:06:52.029
They have a son and a daughter. She is actress

97
00:06:52.129 --> 00:06:55.389
Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is 57 years old today. Yeah, she

98
00:06:55.410 --> 00:06:59.189
was born on September the 25th also. But in 1969

99
00:06:59.189 --> 00:07:03.110
in Swansea, Wales. Now, she won her Oscar for the

100
00:07:03.129 --> 00:07:06.350
movie Chicago. She really hit in the movie Mask of Zorro,

101
00:07:06.410 --> 00:07:11.990
then Entrapment, Traffic, America's Sweethearts, Ocean's 12th. Now, you can

102
00:07:12.009 --> 00:07:14.350
tell that she's just a cool girl, though. Before she

103
00:07:14.389 --> 00:07:17.470
got married to Michael, it was around 1995, the British tabloids,

104
00:07:17.509 --> 00:07:20.730
they were just following her around relentlessly. So finally, she

105
00:07:20.769 --> 00:07:22.970
came out publicly and just said, I drink, I swear,

106
00:07:23.009 --> 00:07:25.129
and I like sex. What else do you want from me? Well,

107
00:07:25.149 --> 00:07:26.800
that was the end of the story. Now, if you're

108
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.160
wondering how two actors 25 years apart in age got together, well,

109
00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:33.819
they were introduced by Danny DeVito. Cheryl Tiggs is 79.

110
00:07:33.819 --> 00:07:37.519
She's born in Breckenridge, Minnesota. She's considered America's first supermodel.

111
00:07:37.939 --> 00:07:40.560
Her blue bikini poster back in 1978, it was a

112
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.709
worldwide bestseller. She was the first model on the cover

113
00:07:43.730 --> 00:07:46.250
of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. She's on the first

114
00:07:46.290 --> 00:07:49.410
two covers, actually. Cheryl, she's divorced four times. She had

115
00:07:49.449 --> 00:07:51.170
a son from her third husband and twin boys from

116
00:07:51.209 --> 00:07:54.300
her fourth husband. Now, she is a very successful businesswoman.

117
00:07:54.709 --> 00:07:57.279
Back in 1980, she was the first model to go retail.

118
00:07:57.740 --> 00:08:00.759
She launched a signature line of clothing and accessories. Throughout

119
00:08:00.779 --> 00:08:03.939
the 80s, it sold $ 1 billion worth of goods. All right,

120
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.319
how many of you know Jenny's number better than your own?

121
00:08:09.269 --> 00:08:20.079
We have Tommy Two-Tones, Jenny8675309 as our number seven. Actor

122
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:27.959
Anson Williams is 77. He was born in Los Angeles.

123
00:08:36.990 --> 00:08:39.269
Best known for playing Patsy Weber on the TV show

124
00:08:39.289 --> 00:08:41.889
Happy Days. Now, he has had a very successful career

125
00:08:41.929 --> 00:08:45.029
as a TV director. Some shows he's directed are Melrose Place,

126
00:08:45.129 --> 00:08:49.230
Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Lizzie McGuire, Beverly Hills 90210. He

127
00:08:49.250 --> 00:08:51.509
had one child from his first marriage, married his second

128
00:08:51.549 --> 00:08:53.809
wife 31 years before they divorced, and they had four kids.

129
00:08:54.210 --> 00:08:55.590
Married his third wife just last year.

130
00:08:55.610 --> 00:08:58.490
Yeah, it's been a long, long time.

131
00:08:58.610 --> 00:09:02.149
You're such a sage, you're looking bad.

132
00:09:10.059 --> 00:09:19.210
We can't stop this burning desire. Here we go again.

133
00:09:19.950 --> 00:09:23.250
Donny Iris with Aaliyah come in at number six. Sounds

134
00:09:23.269 --> 00:09:26.070
kind of funny. Donny and his co-writer, they wanted to

135
00:09:26.129 --> 00:09:28.950
write an anti-war song. Now they wrote all that music

136
00:09:28.990 --> 00:09:30.870
and everything for the song. It was all down and

137
00:09:30.889 --> 00:09:32.370
laid it out and everything. They could not come up

138
00:09:32.389 --> 00:09:35.450
with any anti-war lyrics. Donny one day was at a

139
00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:37.549
store and he met a girl named Aaliyah. Ended up

140
00:09:37.570 --> 00:09:41.379
writing a one-hit wonder about Aaliyah instead of anti-war. Actor

141
00:09:41.450 --> 00:09:45.169
Mark Hamill. He was born in Oakland, California. He's 75.

142
00:09:45.169 --> 00:09:47.330
Mark hit very big in his very first movie. He

143
00:09:47.350 --> 00:09:49.970
played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. Had a pretty good

144
00:09:50.029 --> 00:09:53.190
run playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise. He

145
00:09:53.210 --> 00:09:55.490
was also in the movies Corvette Summer and Big Red One.

146
00:09:56.129 --> 00:09:59.820
He is currently filming a Stephen King horror movie. Markey

147
00:09:59.860 --> 00:10:02.580
married a dental hygienist in 1978 and they have two

148
00:10:02.620 --> 00:10:24.149
sons and one daughter. All right, what are you thinking

149
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.799
so far? Does Tony Basil and Mickey sound right about

150
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.980
number five? I think so. Actor Christopher Reeve, he was

151
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.759
born in New York City in 1952. Best known for

152
00:10:32.779 --> 00:10:36.120
playing Superman. Played Superman in the first four movies. He

153
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.840
was also in the movie Somewhere in Time, Death Trap,

154
00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:41.940
The Aviator. 1995, Reeve was thrown from a horse in

155
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.799
an equestrian competition. Broke his neck, ended up paralyzed from

156
00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:47.080
the shoulders down. He had a son and a daughter

157
00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:49.379
from an ex-girlfriend. Then he married in 1992 and they

158
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:53.169
had a son. Reeves, he died in 2004 at 52

159
00:10:53.169 --> 00:10:55.169
years old. They think it was from a bad reaction

160
00:10:55.210 --> 00:10:56.399
to a medicine that they were giving him.

161
00:10:57.350 --> 00:11:03.049
Once I ran to you Now I run from you

162
00:11:03.350 --> 00:11:08.070
This tainted love you've given I give you all a

163
00:11:08.110 --> 00:11:12.110
boy could give you Take my tears and that's not

164
00:11:12.289 --> 00:11:18.570
nearly all Tainted love Tainted.

165
00:11:17.830 --> 00:11:21.570
Love I thought Soft Cell and Tainted Love was too

166
00:11:21.610 --> 00:11:25.070
high for number four, but I lost. But I did

167
00:11:25.090 --> 00:11:27.049
get the number one song, so I got that coming up.

168
00:11:27.490 --> 00:11:30.149

currently sober. We hope so. She's had a hard time

175
00:11:48.409 --> 00:11:51.279
of it. She has received treatment for alcohol and drug

176
00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:53.730
addiction 20 times, so hopefully it takes this time.

177
00:11:54.289 --> 00:11:55.929
When you're gonna give me some time.

178
00:12:18.539 --> 00:12:20.480

Wonder lists have Los Del Rio and Macarena at number one.

193
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.769
I wouldn't do it. Nope, I couldn't do it. I

194
00:13:19.809 --> 00:13:22.110
think there is only one song that every person on

195
00:13:22.129 --> 00:13:24.019
the planet knows by the first four words.

196
00:13:24.649 --> 00:13:27.789
I like big butts and I cannot lie. You other

197
00:13:27.809 --> 00:13:30.269
brothers can't deny that when a girl walks in with

198
00:13:30.309 --> 00:13:32.440
an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face,

199
00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:35.259
you get sprung. Wanna pull up tough cause you notice

200
00:13:35.299 --> 00:13:38.200
that butt was stuffed. Deep in the jeans she's wearing.

201
00:13:38.659 --> 00:13:41.600
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring. Oh baby, I

202
00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:44.600
wanna get whipped up and take your picture. My whole

203
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.960
voice tried to warn me but that butt you got

204
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.139
makes me so horny.

205
00:13:48.990 --> 00:13:52.070
The number one one-hit wonder of all time, Sir Mix-a-Clos

206

Baby got back. Now I'm sure most of you are

207
00:13:54.669 --> 00:13:56.929
probably going to disagree with our list. You shouldn't, but

208
00:13:57.009 --> 00:13:58.870

golf legend Arnold Palmer. He died today in 2016 at

215
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:17.889
you do in life are often the things you don't

216
00:14:17.929 --> 00:14:21.639
think you can do. Our country underground radio artist of

217
00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:24.639
the day. It comes from Mindy in Portland, Maine. She

218
00:14:24.659 --> 00:14:26.779
wants to hear the Jody Ross song, I Was Yours.

219
00:14:27.389 --> 00:14:29.269
Hope you guys have an awesome day and we'll talk tomorrow.

220
00:14:31.980 --> 00:14:36.279
I still think about that Friday night In your back,

221
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:41.139
see nothing on the street light We were falling so hard,

222
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:47.340
so fast Crazy, I thought we would last Well, you

223
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:51.799
said we had to end But you and I.

224
00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:56.740
Could always be friends And you act like everything's fine.

225
00:14:59.850 --> 00:15:05.340
That's a lie Cause how do we walk away When

226
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.879
there never was an us anyway And how do you.

227
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.759
Break A heart that wasn't yours to break guitar.

228
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:28.049
Solo Swore it all meant something to you So I

229
00:15:28.070 --> 00:15:32.379
cling to your words like the gospel truth I guess

230
00:15:32.419 --> 00:15:37.480
I could pretend you don't exist But what would that

231
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:42.990
even fix? Cause how do we walk away when.

232
00:15:51.120 --> 00:16:03.879
A heart that wasn't yours to break. I remember every touch,

233
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:09.730
every kiss. I close my eyes and I can picture it.

234
00:16:09.750 --> 00:16:12.649
Staring into each other's souls.

235
00:16:19.370 --> 00:16:23.559
How do you break a heart that wasn't yours to break?
