Best 1-hit wonders
Name your all time fav 1-hit wonders. Any pedant police with comments like "actually they had a number 39 in '74" will be publicly stoned.
I'll throw in The Waterboys - hole of the Moon to start. Can't name anything else they did

Heard one of their tracks the other day actually, and thought it was naff. Maybe the hole of the moon was written on drugs like so many classics!

The Waterboys werent one-hit-wonders, far from it. 'This is the Sea' was written on drugs though: Mike Scott had a heroin habit for 20 years.
isn't that just line dancing p!sh

Yeah but he only had 1 hit in the charts, Same as Billy Ray Cyus, had loads of songs but you wouldnt know any of them unless you were into that type of music.
Snug, no it wasnt them.

Quite a few 90's and 90's throwbacks there
Continuing with the chart dross-pop theme....
Lets go back to 1995: Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth: YouTube - Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth
Desireless - Voyage Voyage (1988 IIRC) Even if it was French; nothing sounded like it back then.
Adamski - Killer (heard the original chart version just yesturday - much more hardcore than the later Seal version)
Although not one hit wonders: A couple of Sisters of Mercy tracks (Corrosion, Temple of love etc....this might give a clue to my profle location
)
Fairground Attraction - Perfect (ok, it annoys me now as I keep hearing it)
For some reason I remember this: Spagna - call me
Someone mentioned "Zoe", which reminded me of something which sounded like the same singer being "Scarlet Fantastic - No memory"
And I can't belive nobody has menetion 99 Red balloons yet
edit...buggrehher...someone did
