    OMC --- How Bizarre

    (Although the cut "Lingo with the Gringo" on the same album was even better.)

    Scritti Politti - "Perfect Way"

    Love this song!

    If you want to go a little older (okay, a LOT older), "Vehicle" by Ides of March.

    Dammit. All my favorites are on that list.

    How about
    Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffanys.
    The Verve Pipe - Freshmen.

    The Verve Pipe also had "Bittersweet Symphony," so I don't think they're a one-hit wonder.

    Incorrect. The Verve did "Bittersweet Symphony". The Verve Pipe did "Freshman" Separate groups. However, the Verve Pipe ddi have other songs that got radio play: "Photograph" comes to mind.

    Yup. This song was the first to pop into my head before I even saw any answers.
