I still enjoy some Marcy Playground. Who can’t appreciate a little “Poppies” or “Sex and Candy” every now and then?
Hocus Pocus by Focus
I like Unbelievable by EMF.
They may not be a one hit wonder in other parts of the planet but they are where I live.
Nena and 99 Luftballons
“One More Night” by Yellow Dog.
“My Sharona”, The Knack.
“Come on Eileen” by Dexy’s Midnight Runners.
Many of these do not qualify as one-hit-wonders outside the USA.
Mine would be Fade to grey - Visage.
In the Year 2525 - Zager and Evans
If you were here - Thompson Twins.
Although they had moderate sucess with other numbers none were as succesful as this one.
One Night In Bangkok - Murray Head and the cast of Chess
Love that song!
Some of my other favourites include:
Tainted Love by Soft Cell
I Ran by A Flock of Seagulls
Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves
I disagree slightly with maleinblack; i thought that Hold Me Now was an equally big hit for the Thompson wins.
Afternoon Delight, Starland Vocal Band
i]The Boys Are Back in Town*, Thin Lizzy
Joy, Apollo 100
Come on Eileen, Dexy’s Midnight Runners
Pictures of Matchstick Men, Status Quo
Supermodel 2, RuPaul
Whip It, Devo
Some artists mentioned above don’t count as “One-Hit Wonders”: Katrina and the Waves had two other Top 40 hits in the U.S. beside Walking on Sunshine; ditto for The Knack and My Sharona (remember Good Girls Don’t?).
:eek:
Good God, they had dozens of hits in Europe…
The Music Machine Talk Talk
Bram Tchaikovsky Girl Of My Dreams
Starz Cherry Baby
The La’s There She Goes
…and I might as well call this one early:
The Hives Hate To Say I Told You So
Sunglasses at Night by Corey Hart
Send me an Angel by Real Life
Twilight Zone - Golden Earring
Golden Earring had a massive hit in 1973(?) with Radar Love from their album Moontan. They also had some European hits in the 60s.
867-5309! Tommy Tutone.
I got it…I got it - I got you number off the wall…
I got it…I got it - for a good time …for a good time callllll…
I guess you never heard of a little ditty called “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
My vote is for Looking Glass’s “Brandy”
