Instead, read the words of this 1 star review left by Royalsfan83 with the subject line “Garbage”: Yet another music podcast by insipid, try-hard millennials who amaze themselves at how edgy they are. You can get this content from countless other shows minus the delusional leftist rants. Hard pass.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T08:19:51.016660+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-hit-thunder-675761"},"episode":{"title":"\"Perfect Way\" by Scritti Politti","slug":"perfect-way-by-scritti-politti","published_at":"2026-05-27T18:29:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-hit-thunder-675761/perfect-way-by-scritti-politti","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-hit-thunder-675761","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/swap.fm/track/2IMk17EdnEqyRhJTIpIU/traffic.megaphone.fm/FPMN5517000585.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/swap.fm/track/2IMk17EdnEqyRhJTIpIU/traffic.megaphone.fm/FPMN5517000585.mp3","summary":"We recently did a listener-sourced Thundred countdown of the 100 greatest one hit wonders of all time, which was a balanced mix of the expected and the surprising. One of the most shocking songs to make the list was Scritti Politti’s “Perfect Way”, mostly because NEITHER guy who hosts a 300+ episode podcast ABOUT one hit wonders even KNEW the song! It landed at #70 on the list, putting it above names you’d expect to see, such as Joan Osborne, Harvey Danger, Sir Mix-A-Lot, and Tom Cochrane. So how did this synth-pop gem manage to avoid our ears for all these years, while simultaneously making such an impact on at least SOME of our listeners? This week, we explore the eclectic career of Scritti Politti to find out what we’ve been missing.
