Mickey Avalon, My Dick: 1 Hit WONDERful No. 1 (2024) [📷: Brent Faulkner / The Musical Hype; Interscope; Elias Souza from Pexels; OpenClipart-Vectors from Pixabay]In the 1st edition of 1 Hit WONDERful (2024), we highlight the platinum certified track, “My Dick,” performed by rapper, Mickey Avalon. 

It only takes ONE hit to solidify a musical legacy 💯! On 1 Hit WONDERful, we highlight songs that were the SOLE hit by a given musician.  To be fair, it is possible that the artists appearing on this list earned a minor hit or two, BUT for the most part, it’s that ONE hit that earned them recognition. So, in the 1st edition of 1 Hit WONDERful (2024) we dive into “My Dick”, the one hit wonder by rapper, Mickey Avalon.

Anyways, there are plenty of people who will have no clue who Mickey Avalon.  That’s understandable, considering that the Californian rapper didn’t impact that pop charts.  Regardless, upon releasing his 2006 album, Mickey Avalon, Avalon was signed to Interscope – a major label! His debut LP has its fair share of interesting moments, but none eclipse the bonus, closing track, “My Dick”.  Anytime the peen comes into play, ears seem to perk up.  On this humorous rap track that rocks hard (🤭), Avalon earned a platinum plaque.  This is a one-hit wonder that didn’t even need the Billboard Hot 100!

Following that disturbing assertion, Andre Legacy gets in on the D action: “My dick, large like the Chargers, the whole team / Your shit look like you fourteen.” Low, blow, Andre! Oh, and Dirt McNasty, who also produces, talks shit too: “My dick locked in a cage, right / Your dick suffer from stage fright.” Of course, the three each get additional verses to tout their manhood and insult others, including Avalon bragging about size (“My dick, pink and big / You dick, stinks like shit”) and inappropriate contact (“My dick rumble in the jungle / Your dick got touched by your uncle”). boxingListen or read through the lyrics, and it’s understandable why “My Dick” wasn’t a pop hit. At the same time, it’s also understandable how it became a platinum hit, with some help from various soundtrack appearance aiding in its ascent… it’s rise…reaching its peak…
