5 Other One-Hit Wonders Who Deserve Hit Cable Series (Congrats, Vanilla Ice!)

Consider this a great day in chump-waxing: The Vanilla Ice Project, the home-flipping reality series starring Rob "Vanilla Ice" van Vinkle, has been picked up for a second season. Go ninja, go! I think this bodes well for some of our other favorite one-hit wonders* who could use cable series of their own. Let's cast them!

Toni Basil

Series: Hey, Toni!

Network: Bravo

Description: In the tradition of Bravo's miraculous Hey, Paula, cameras would follow Toni as she continues working as a choreographer, reflects on her 50-year career in film (her first on-screen appearance is in 1963's Bye, Bye Birdie, believe it or not) and deals with the residual fame of her sole No. #1 hit "Mickey." In the season finale, she must don her old cheerleader uniform and holler into a bullhorn overlooking Los Angeles.

Haddaway

Series: What Isn't Love?

Network: VH1

Description: Trinidadian "What is Love" pioneer Haddaway consults with contestants on VH1's I Love Money, Megan Wants a Millionaire, Rock of Love, Real Chance of Love (etc.) and discusses unhealthy relationship practices. The couple deemed healthiest at season's end will be treated to a night of vicious dry-humping at the Roxbury.

Sinead O'Connor

Series: I Do Have What I Have Got

Network: Ovation

Description: The consummately candid singer tours the nation and reflects on the spiritual complacence she has achieved since her seething, Pope-ripping heyday. In the season finale, she reunites with "Nothing Compares 2 U" songwriter Prince, apologizes for spitting on him once, and engages with him in a meditative batdance.

Afroman

Series: Because We Should All Get High

Network: HBO

Description: The mysterious man who gave us the 2001 hit "Because I Got High" takes us to meet the lawmakers, advocates, and activists who are fighting to legalize marijuana. He also makes time to watch old Scooby Doo episodes and call up Ja Rule for a hazy chucklefit or two.

MC Hammer**

Series: Please Hammer, Just Tweet 'Em

Network: Travel Channel

Description: MC Hammer takes advantage of his wildly popular Twitter account and travels the country logging his experiences in 140 characters. He'll also spend time clarifying that "M.C." now stands for "Man of Christ" and that "Pumps and a Bump" was fantastic.

*I'm aware that Vanilla Ice also scored a chart hit with his "Play That Funky Music" cover, but he's a spiritual one-hit wonder in my book.

**MC Hammer is also not a one-hit wonder, but you know, close enough.
