10 Huge Songs You Wrongly Thought Got To Number One

9. Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC3y9llDXuM I know right? For all those that were born in the latter part of the last Century you will totally understand where I'm coming from. Teenage Dirtbag ranks highly on almost everyone's list of coming-of-age tunes. It crops up occasionally at some randomers house party looking for neutrally nostalgic pop song that won't cause offence. The spoken word tale of a loser trying to vie for the attention of his high school crush Noelle may be a little smushy, but don't pretend that you don't know they lyrics - because deep down weren't we all teenage dirtbags at some point. Everyone has a soft spot for this track €“ even today's youth as it's managed to re-enter the UK Top 40 twice in the last three years. Wheatus we're always a band that never quite popped so it seems a shame we couldn't have let them had a number one with Dirtbag. Guess they'll have to sleep knowing that their signature song was a runner-up.
