Way ahead of ya!

That I concede!

Fiction Factory's "Feels Like Heaven" from the 80s was a catchy one, but the Vapors is the best I think.

Yeah that was a good one alright. The band featured one Mike Ogletree on drums who played a bit with Simple Minds.

has anyone mentioned Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffanys? or "Two princes" Spin Doctors... i know they had a few minor ones after that...

Then it doesn't count Pauro.... simple! One hit wonder means only one hit. Not One major hit and a lorry load of minor ones!

Toni Basil?

Hey Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind Hey Mickey!

Thought Damien Rice sang that!!

The first song that pops into my head when i hear one hit wonder is the classic "Come on Eileen" ...... tura lura tura lura yay

And Mambo no.5. I know he had that other one but it was practically the same song - 6,7,8,9,10!!
