| Im not sure if we have had a thread like this or not yet but put down all the artists and songs which you think were one hit wonders.
A couple i can think of are:
Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes
Tal Bachman - Shes so high
Chasing Cars - Snow patrol
Wonderwall - Oasis _________________  Stay Strong Boys |

| Oasis was once the biggest band in the world and Jack White is often regarded as one of the best guitarists of his time...

| I've never heard another Devo song apart from Whip It  Could be wrong though, not hugely knowledgable about 80's songs... _________________ "We were young, good-looking and stupid. Now, we're just stupid" - Mick Jagger, discussing the Stones in Exile documentary. |

| wtf @ OP, 3/4 failed it completely.
Thomas Dolby is a great example of a decent one hit wonder: She Blinded Me With Science is a classic tune. OK, so Hyperactive! also made an impact, but ask anyone about Dolby and they'll know him for the former. One of the godfathers of electro. _________________  |

| The Knack may have only got successful on one song, but that's not to say their other work isn't good. They've got some fantastic songs and for that, they're not a one hit wonder in my eyes despite everyone else saying they are.
Also the first post made me cringe.
P.S Breakfast At Tiffany's is a gun song, shame they didn't make it.

Blind Melon - No Rain (awesome band but only had the one real hit) Los Del Rios - Macarena Meredith Brooks - Bitch Afroman - Because I Got High The Calling - Wherever You Will Go Billy Ray Cyrus - Achey Breaky Heart Thats just some of the 'one hit wonders' that spring to mind, there is a lot out there.
