Patrick Swayze ~ She's Like The Wind
I don't know if it's proper to consider him a one hit wonder though since he wasn't actually a singer.

Not One Hit Wonders, but rather a nod to only being around for a minute... Temple of the Dog. I miss them.

I LOVE Hunger Strike!!!!

Ugh Yes. Eddie Vedder's moodiness and Chris Cornell's wailing... so good. Talk about say hello to heaven! Awesome combo. Just take my bread, boys. Just take it. Lol

Can't believe this isn't here. Something in the Air - Thunderclap Newman:

Not sure if it really qualifies as one hit wonder. Only hit for Thunderclap Newman, but Tom Petty covered it years later and did pretty well:

Not a one hit wonder but an artist who had an album that blew up around 89-90 but we never heard from him again. Maxi Priest.

OMG! Also one of my favorite songs to dance to when bands play this!

My parents hated Play that Funky Music and this one because I played them non-stop...

To be fair, I think Don McLean had two hits.
