Man, I just googled one-hit wonders and I left out a bunch of my favorites:

Natural One- Folk Implosion
Song 2- Blur
Blind Melon- No Rain
Rapper's Delight- Sugarhill Gang

And then this one is, by far, the worst ever:
I'm too Sexy- Right Said Fred

How could I forget those? All gooder ones in my book!:clap:

[injuredinmelee]

Informer - Snow how bad was this track?
Ice Ice Baby- maybe it is just a given that it might be the worst one hit wonder ever.

[District303aPastPlayer]

The Ataris arent one hit wonders...

and A-Ha -- Take on Me

[pirate44]

Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners <--fav

[ILS1]

Rapper's Delight- Sugarhill Gang

They also had a hit with 'Apache'.

Both good songs.

[pirate44]

callme crazy, but i like Macarena too.

[wildstangs]

Vanilla Ice...Not sure if its a good one or bad one. Throw in M.C. Hammer too. I know both of them might have had another song, but they were both one hit wonders, I dont care what anyone says.

The Boys of Summer by the Ataris is an old Eagles/Don Henley song.

That's only one song. The line "When the bullet hits the Bone" is a line in the song "Twilight Zone".

Golden Earring had a ton of hits in Europe and I think they may still be releasing albums (cds) after 30 years as a group.

I would recommend the album "Moontan" as one of their best, then "Mad Love" next. Good stuff!
