This article is a light retrospective piece from American Songwriter highlighting three one-hit wonders released in 1991 that remain memorable to people who grew up in the 1990s. It celebrates songs that, despite their artists never repeating that level of chart success, became enduring cultural touchstones through radio play, film and television use, and sheer catchiness.

The three tracks singled out are "Unbelievable" by EMF from the album 'Schubert Dip', "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred from 'Up', and "Life Is a Highway" by Tom Cochrane from 'Mad Mad World', all released in 1991. The piece notes how each song has lived on beyond its era, with "Life Is a Highway" in particular frequently used in television shows, films and advertisements.
