It came across as banter to me.

One hit wonder, I thought it was Gary Glitter who was teaching 11 year old Vietnamese girls how to speak English and Adam Ant who was rooting Thai rent boys, could be wrong I guess.
Both I would harldy count, they were Trend artists not that well known outside the UK and had music that fit a trend of music (GG - Glam rock of 1972/75) and (Adam Ant Poppy new romantics of the 1980/83 era).
It is hard to discriminate against true one hit or two hit wonders (Many one hit wonders released a second song that went nowhere like Charles and Eddie and Natural Selection) and the trend artists who may have had 3 albums during a 3 or 4 year run of trend music like grunge, pop rap, boyband, nu metal, douchebag rock like Smashmouth and so on. Many artists like T Rex, Sweet, Gary Glitter, Slade, Mud and others ruled in the error of early 70s British glam rock, but only truely talented ones like Bowie and Roxy Music survived it.
Same with grunge, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Mudhoney and Nirvana all scored big between 1991 and early 1995, but then the fickle world of teenage musical amusement moved on and grunge was yesterdays news.
