They made one single (or at least, one that anyone knows), they disappeared, they were great...
For me the best one hit wonders were Jilted John, with their self-titled single.
How about the rest of yiz?

Louis Louis..The Kingsmen...
Discussion over.
the Knack "My Sharona"
White Town - Your Woman is by far and away the best one hit wonder of all time
Risteard i was just thinking of spaceman when I read the thread title. Heres is a few that spring to mind:
Ice Ice Baby- Vanila Ice

Tubthumping - Chumbawamba
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lJIjdajBww

The Only Ones(I think?) Another Girl Another Planet
and, not sure if it was a hit or not, but "Punk Rock Girl" by the Dead Milkmen is a scream.
Oh, and I nearly forgot - probably my vote for the best one hit wonder, The Vapours - Turning Japanese
Two absolute classics. And the former has a serious shot at best band name.Quote:

Powder - Afrodisiac (thats the way they spelled it)
Great tune. They disapeared when the singer got knocked up.
(Obviously the "Afrodisiac" worked)
Afrodisiac shrinkwrapped prepacked...
Cameo-Word Up
I like them alot but I doubt most other poeple have kept up with them.
Althea & Donna - Uptown Top Ranking
Trio - Da Da Da
Martha & the Muffins - Echo Beach
Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters
Giorgio moroder / phil oakey - Together in Electric Dreams
M/A/R/S - Pump Up the Volume
Black Box - Ride on Time
S-Express - Theme from S-Express
Tiffany - I think we're alone now
Smoke City - Underwater Love
You're missing a /R there BP.
There must be a few Northern Soul singles that made no impression first time round, but broke into the top 40 in the mid '70s.
Blue Oyster Cult - Dont Fear the Reaper
The Breeders - Cannonball
(Their one notable tune anyway)
i know someonw who would lynch you for saying they are one hit wonders!!!Quote:
