Good afternoon guys. Welcome to your Good George daily dose of diversion & distraction. Today is a Tuesday which is Monday’s annoying sibling.
Traffic Update:
Free Flowing… like a horses mane whilst galloping into the wind with triumphant music playing
Boredom Buster:
Today we pay tribute to “One hit Wonders”.
- Otara Millionaires Club (OMC) made it big once with the catchy international megahit “How Bizzare”
- “I’m too sexy” by Right said Fred was thrashed by every radio station and cheesy nightclub DJ in 1991
- We know it’s not a hit song but no list like this would be complete without paying tribute to New Zealand cricketer Rodney Redmond who played only one test for NZ in 1972 and scored a century and a 50 on debut. He was never chosen again. Tough!
For a fun waste of 30 mins of your life take the tour music’s top 100 one hit wonders here…

Today’s lockdown Project:
Make your own music video. For creative inspiration watch
OKGO - Here It Goes Again.
Following our musical theme of the day this masterpiece was performed by the band dancing on 8 treadmills and filmed in one continuous take. Apparently it took 17 attempts to film it in one go with the idea coming from a dream the lead singer’s sister had about treadmills. Got a lockdown treadmill or similar device at your place? Go on, we dare you…
