The Blobby Song - Mr Blobby
Cotton Eye Joe - Rednex
Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus
I'd Rather Jack - The Reynolds Girls
Funky Town - Pseudo Echo
How Bizarre - OMC (that one was kinda cool though)

 

[El Coconuto]

How about Los Del Rios - Macarena?

Or alternatively Baha Men - Who let the dogs out!

And the grand daddy of all one hit wonders Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby...

But hey he was cool though so it's all good! 8) :lol:

Kenny Rogers - The Gambler lol

House of Pain did ok for a couple of albums, just didn't have much else in the way of singles, and Kenny Rogers had a shitload of other country hits. Totally agree with the others though.

Only reason I didn't nominate Baha Men is I forgot who wrote that bloody song!

 

[knights04]

The Knack - My Sharona
Eiffel 65 - Blue
Lou Bega - Mambo No. 5

 

[chileman]

How about Los Del Rios - Macarena?

El Coconuto....that won the Greatest 100 one hit wonders....finished as number 1 :lol:

 

[SP]

The Knack - My Sharona
Eiffel 65 - Blue
Lou Bega - Mambo No. 5

eiffel 65 were a 2 hit wonder, thier 2nd song after blue was move your body which was a top 5 hit

 

[hrundi99]

True -Spandau Ballet
Rock and Roll, Pt. 1 -Gary Glitter
Funky Town - Pseudo Echo

These 3 all had a number of hits and career longevity...

The Knack - My Sharona

The Knack put out a number of good quality power-pop albums but yes they didn't have another big hit.

A Girl Like You -Edwyn Collins

Edwyn Collins started out in Scotland in a band called Orange Juice who were very popular locally and quite influential.

 

[hrundi99]

I would think that the archetypal One Hit Wonder should be a singer or band who had little talent, had only one hit song and preferrably only one album.

Think Mickey by Toni Basil.

 

[Samwise]

who sung that zoot suit riot song?
guy sebastion is bound to be a one hit wonder

 

[SpaceMonkey]

who sung that zoot suit riot song?

The Cherry Poppin' Daddies. (is that a great band name or what!)
That whole swing revival thing lasted all of 5 minutes. (about 5 minutes after the movie "Swingers" came out I think!)
