I'm usually not a big fan or rap or any form of hip-hop, but you have to appreciate what happens when a girl at a club hears "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot. If you like ass (like me) then you like this song.
As far as recent music goes, "Downfall" by TRUSTcompany was pretty good.

Very cool thread optik_nerve, I have to go along with my music trivia partner God of Thunder on the two he mentioned, and would also like to add my favorite along with some others:
My fav: All Right Now- Free others: Smokin in the Boys room- Brownsville Station Mississippi queen - Mountain For what it's worth- Buffalo Springfield Hold your head up- Argent Rock on -David Essex Fooled around and fell in love- Elvin Bishop Black Betty- Ram Jam Der Kommissar- After the fire Relax- Frankie goes to Hollywood Radioactive- The Firm Keep your hands to yourself- Georgia Satellites Walkin in Memphis- Mark Cohn Life is a highway- Tom Cochrane The Freshman- The Verve Pipe Check out: www.onehitwondercentral.com *edit* after thinking about this list, Didn't Mark Cohn do "I wear my sunglasses at night" ? I love that song!

After noticing Der Kommisar, I feel compelled to inform you all that a cover of it was recorded by Option 30 (where Reznor was before NIN.) Haven't found it outside of file-sharing networks, but it's worth listening to.
Now comes the point where everyone ceases to take me seriously. I actually liked the Macarena. |

Jesus, what a one-hit-wonder, and an extremely generic song.

Anyways...fun thread The best one I can think of atm is Soft Cell - Tainted Love.. but I may think of more. Some good tracks already mentioned, but are not 'one hit-wonders' to me because I've listened to other stuff by the artists...Gary Numan, for example. ..or are simply things that don't wow me.

Hey guys- what about The Knack and their hit song "My Sharona?" Can't forget that gem.
There are a few songs in this thread that wouldn't be considered one hit wonders...

Well, I was just going to say that, ultra_agent9. My definition of a one-hit wonder is a band who had only one huge hit and that's it. Nothing else even came close.
Violent Femmes do not fall into that category, and neither do The Sweet. My faves... Tainted Love - Soft Cell Out Lips Are Sealed - The Go Gos Land Downunder - Men At Work Relax- Frankie goes to Hollywood Romeo Void - Never Say Never Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen
