Here's five more

Take On Me by A-Ha
Tarzan Boy by Baltimora
Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles
Five Hundred Miles by the Proclaimers
Hey Mickey by Toni Basil

 

[Western Deity]

Can't touch this

Another one I was thinking of is the theme from Friends ("I'll be There for You") by the Rembrandts. Apparently they released a song that did OK in Australia ages ago, but to be remembered just for the theme song of a TV show must make you a one hit wonder.

 

[Jeremiah the Bullfrog]

Snoopy vs. The Red Baron--The Royal Guardsmen

Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye - Steam

I tend to go for bands with a bit of longevity, so I have no clue about one-hit wonders.

Take On Me by A-Ha

Great one. I love that song.

 

[CharlotteChurchFan]

Me too!!
Have you seen the music video? Thats better than the song

 

[Rosa Mystica]

A great one-hit wonder: "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco. I also like "Der Kommissar."

 

[Violet]

Martika~Toysoldiers

 

[oldrooster]

How about Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas

 

[Ginsu]

Haddaway- What is love

 

[Rosa Mystica]

Haddaway- What is love

Yeah, it's too bad that he was only known for this hit. His 1993 album has a ton of great songs on it. Haddaway was a sadly underrated artist.

 

[CharlotteChurchFan]

I love that song!

Did The Knack have any other hits besides My Sharona. If not, then that's my vote as best One Hit Wonder ever.

 

[unnumbered son]

Least Favorite- I'm Too Sexy

They did "Good Girls Dont" as well.....

Ah, okay...another one I liked was "Breakfast at Tiffanys" by Deep Blue Something.

Worst one hit wonder: HEY MICKEY, TONI BASIL
