    EMF- Unbelievable
    Right Said Fred- I'm too sexy
    Digital Underground- Humpty Dance
    There are more but those are my favorites lol

    Ok, I was a fan of Digital underground but surely they were not a one hit wonder....anyone weigh in?

    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.

    I stand corrected! So add The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" to the list! :laugh:

    The Turtles Happy together.

    Shut up I'm old.:grumble:

    They're not a one-hit wonder, though. Heard of "Elenore" or their cover of the Dylan tune "It Ain't Me Babe"?

    "That Thing You Do" by the Oh-Neeeed-ers!

    The things you miss when you step out for a few hours! I honestly didn't know The Verve Pipe had other singles. I guess I should've Wiki'd it.

    I'll add Deee-Lite - Groove is in the Heart. They sold far more albums than the usual one-hit-wonder, but technically, they still count.

    "Come on Eileen" Dexy's Midnight Runners

    Their first album was awesome.... definitely worth listening to. The 2nd (with Come on Eileen on it) was ok, too...

    My choice is Blind Melon - No Rain (another one where the band was way better than 1 hit)...

    I wanna be a Cowboy - Boys Don t Cry

    I think it topped out in the charts at number 7 or so, but my favourite song ever is Hysteria- Def Leppard.
    Edit...wait, wait, actually... Bohemian Rhapsody is the best song ever!!! I'm still on my first coffee and not thinking clearly.


    i thought this was about one hit wonders??

    idk about *greatest*, but i thought the demics' new york city was good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwfkpW63Nj8

    i also, lately, have had debbie gibson's 'only in my dreams' running riot in my inner ear (though i think she had 2-3 hits, but just the one album, maybe that can count? though yes unsure if great. would defend 'catchy'.)
