Ooooh! Yes!! And cheers to Right Said Fred and Tom Tom Club, too.

I think Johnny Hates Jazz's "Shattered Dreams" was pretty damn cool, too. And I can't help but get the butt-wiggle going whenever I hear Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real." The 70's and 80's were full of one-hit-wonders! Good times!

Not sure the name of the group
I believe that might be "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

A song about dancing, with dwarves in the video. Instant classic.

Does "Take me to the Water" ring a bell?

How about Zappa? Released an album like every month for 20 years but only got airplay with "Dancin' Fool."

You can't call Zappa or The Talking Heads one hit wonders, can you?

My all time favourite: Salt'n'Pepa - Pump up the jam

It makes my limbs move without me wanting it. I love it.

99 Luftballons, of course, but how can anyone forget the greatest one-hit wonder of all time?

867-5309

Jeeeenny I've got your number, I wanna make you mine...

Damn.

I'll be humming that all day now.

Men Without Hats had 2 hits, Pop Goes The World being the 2nd.
and 867-5309, did J Geils Band do that originally? Because I don't think they were a one trick pony either..

Kung Fu Fighting is definitely a one hit wonder.
