I thought I'd get nostalgic and make this thread. Just post some of your favourite/least favourite/most memorable one hit wonders.
I'll kick us off with a massive one hit wonder:

Here are some from the early-mid 90s:
In retrospect, it's funny to think that "Jump" was partially a diss on Another Bad Creation, which was big at the time. ("Don't try to compare us to Another Bad Little Fad..." "Act like you know and don't be claimin' that it's mental..." etc.). Even little kid rap acts were beefing back then.

The Verve are not one-hit wonders. In America, maybe. But they had several successful albums in the UK.
And to be fair to Smash Mouth, they also made Walking on the Sun.

One of my favorite one hit wonders is by none other than Danzig Danzig a one hit wonder? What about Mother? -_- May just be my opinion but even if you have a few songs that make it major and then you never have another that tops anything then IMO your a One Hit Wonder.

That's actually wrong because they also had "Christmas Wrapping" which was really popular. In retrospect, it's funny to think that "Jump" was partially a diss on Another Bad Creation, which was big at the time. ("Don't try to compare us to Another Bad Little Fad..." "Act like you know and don't be claimin' that it's mental..." etc.). Even little kid rap acts were beefing back then. That's also wrong because ABC had "Iesha" first, then "Playground". I remember that because they mention the name Iesha in "Playground" and I used to think that was cool.

I can't believe a discussion over whether or not Danzig is a one hit wonder sprung out over a joke that clearly everyone missed. Watch the video.
