Instrumental Special with Harold Faltermeyer, Hot Butter and Mr Oizo

The best instrumental one-hit wonders and the stories behind them, from Harold Faltermeyer, Hot Butter, Mr Oizo and many more.

OJ plays some of the very best One Hit Wonders that are Instrumentals.

What they lack in lyrics, they make up for in instruments!

There鈥檚 Harold Faltermeyer鈥檚 classic from Beverly Hills Cop, and no Crazy Frog in sight.

Hot Butter鈥檚 ode to the ultimate cinema snack.

And a song made famous, like so many songs before, by featuring in a jeans advert.

Plus tracks inspired by Beethoven, Star Wars and Tequila.
