Uh, maybe a four-hit wonder. I recall a “comeback single” called “Rocket of Love” getting lots of airplay, but I don’t know how well it actually sold.
Where I’m from, in New Brunswick, Canada, Nena had one other hit that got decent airplay: “Just a Dream”.
Nothing else to add, really, just a bit of trivia, and now I’ve got that song stuck in my head. 
I don’t dislike the hit itself…it’s an eerie good and disturbing listen, no doubt about it.
But Bloodrock — of whom most folks have only encountered the creepy dying-to-the-sound-of-ambulance-sirens song “DOA” — actually racked up several albums of dark-mooded but quite listenable stuff, sort of “underground comics hard rock” —songs like “Breach of Lease”, “Kool-Aid Kids”, “Jessica”, “The Hangman’s Dance”, “Whiskey Vengeance”, “It’s a Sad World”, etc…
This one really isn’t a “one hit wonders but it’s the wrong hit” kinda thing, but more of a “doesn’t seem like they coulda been a one-hit wonder since they had at least one other good song on the same album” thing.
Jerry Buckner and Gary Garcia were a duo who didn’t do much in the '80s, but had one hit- didn’t make it to number one, but did crack the top ten- since it was about a fad that was big, and I guess they were in the right place at the right time: Pac-Man Fever.
Listening to the 1999 re-recording of the album of the same name, I’m surprised that some of the other songs on that same album weren’t as popular as well. The single’s B-side, Do The Donkey Kong, is pretty darn catchy.
(Then again, I guess Buckner & Garcia were truly of their time: some of their other songs involved such 1980s luminaries as E.T. and Mr. T. In the book Arcade Fever- which I’m guessing is a more generalized strain of Pac-Man Fever- they comment on how their record company refused to release the Mr. T song. I guess what with the Be-Sharps already having one, the public was tired of the idea already. Couldn’t have been as bad as the one about C. Everett Koop.)
Frankie Goes To Hollywood–“Relax” got all the airplay (and still does), but “Two Tribes” is a MUCH better song!
Although it didn’t get the airplay deserved IMHO, Maybe Tonight was a great song. I love The Knack.
Someone else posted a few months back about Emmitt Rhodes (solo)-I remember loving his album, too.
How about Melanie? Her sappy tunes got airplay, but IIRC she did some respectable stuff on “Candles in the Rain.”
I can see you folks have created a storm in my brain that will only be calmed with suitable application of vinyl. To the record room, Kato-we have listening to do! 
Don’t forget Chuck Berry, whose most memorable songs never charted well, until he finally got a #1 song with My Ding-a-Ling.
Ryan Adams (one of my favorite musicians) had his one-hit (minus a few other blips like his Wonderwall cover) with spectacular timing, having a song New York, New York receiving minor radioplay just prior to 9/11 and quite a lot afterward. I could rattle off about a dozen songs better than New York, not even including his Whiskeytown work before going solo.
Shawn Mullins had his one-hit with Lullabye (…(gravely spoken) they hung out with famous people like Dennis Hopper, Bob Seger, and Sonny and Cher…(sung) Everything’s gonna be alright, rockabye…), but had been recording for years before, as well as after. Even on that one album featuring Lullabye, I’d still take a few other songs instead. His cover of Kris Kristofferson’s (best known as performed by Johnny Cash) Sunday Morning Coming Down is my favorite version of the song.
Pete Yorn scored moderate success with For Nancy (Cos It Already Is), but I prefer Just Another and On Your Side from the same album.
David Gray is pretty much just known for Babylon, and as good as it is, Flame Turns Blue is better.
Clearly I’m showing my preference for contemporary singer-songwriter rock.
A bit of an overstatement there. “Maybellene,” “School Days,” “Rock & Roll Music,” “Sweet Little Sixteen,” “Johnny B. Goode,” and “No Particular Place to Go” were all Top 10 hits. “Sweet Little Sixteen” was #2 for three weeks. Not too shabby if you ask me.
Chris De Burgh has Lady in Red as his big hit here in the US. However I happen to think he has done much better songs. The ones that come immediately to my mind are:* Patricia the Stripper*, Moonlight and Vodka, Borderline and Devil’s Eye. Don’t Pay the Ferryman was a minor hit that most people in the US don’t remember, which was also better than* Lady in Red*.
The Romantics had a big hit with “Talking in Your Sleep”, but I always thought “One in a Million” was a better song.
Head East only got airplay for “Save My Life” but every song on “Flat as a Pancake” was good.
Agreed, but to nitpick, that song’s called “Never been any Reason”.
Yeah, but they’re even better known for “What I Like About You,” so they’re hardly one-hit wonders. 
I forgot about that one, but I stand by my comment.
You are entirely correct - I was just too lazy to walk into the house and look at the CD. Apologies are hereby tendered.
Lucious Jackson had a hit with “Sate of the World” but that’s the worst song on that CD Natural Ingredients. Their earlier CD, Ask For Manny, is also exceptional.
Portishead had one hit with “Sour Times” but again that’s the worst song on that CD Dummy. (Some of the all-time best booty music ;))
In addition to In-a-Gadda-da-Vidda, Iron Butterfly did a song called Scorching Beauty. It gets some airplay as a K-SHE Classic in St Louis.
The song in question is “Citysong.” The CD is In Search of Manny.
Well, Bobby McFerrin’s known on the charts for his “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” but went on to very cool and successful career as a jazz singer, and his work as a jazz singer is pretty much completely better than “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”
