I was watching one of the dozen VH1 channels on this weekend, and they did a whole show on the top 100 one hit wonders of all time. Of course, I had my own opinions, which did not come out as #1 (the Macarena was #1, and I guess for sheer song sales and popularity as a "wedding dance" tho not at my wedding thank god, it would be). Here would be a perfect chance to hear the list we could create. Now I know one hit wonder is a term thrown around. Sometimes a band has maybe two. I was just thinking what you guys would pick as the best of all time.
My favorite one hit wonder is prolly "Take On Me" by Ah-a. Aside from being an amazing video, I think the song is awesome.

watching VH1's top 100 one hit wonders, eh? Ask yourself, how many times have I watched this before? It's like a Sunday afternoon where you say to yourself, "oh good, Breakfast Club is on TNT, I haven't seen this in like two months." In any event, my fav five would have to be 1. In a big country big country 2. Anything, Anything dramarama 3. Wait for you Bonham 4. glad and sorry the faces 5. kung fu figthing carl douglas

"Spirit in the Sky" is another outright cool song. I think it is by Norman Greenbaum.

Dramarama had like 7 albums, and they were all good. I don't think they're really one hit wonders, not because of their volume of their work, but because anything.anything barely qualifies as a hit.
It would be like saying Squirtgun is a one hit wonder because of Social.
