...that British pop group Chumbawamba's Tubthumping has shot up the charts to No. 6, one has to ask: Just how far can a really silly name take you? Not so far. In fact, internal rhyme and assonance have long been a trademark of one-hit wonders. A look back suggests that Chumbawamba has just one hit left in them...
