He had two other top ten hits and two more top-twentiers - hardly a one-hit wonder!

Crazy Elephant . Gimme Gimmie Some Lovin`. Always reminds me of a summer type song for some reason.

[/quote]great song with possibly the most badly played guitar solo in the history of the universe, starts at about 1:20.
Does Harry Chapins WOLD count? just crept in the top 30 I think

Right up there with The Bonzo's "Canyons Of Your Mind" and "Steven Does" by The Swell Maps for awfulness!

I Lost My Heart To a Starship Trooper by Sarah Brightman & Hot Gossip. Why? Donna Fielding (short blonde member with the Purdy cut), my all-time crush by a nautical mile. And yes, I'm aware that all she does is dance. ;-)

Great thread and some great tunes listed.

Crash by the Primitives? Fascinating Rhythm by Bassomatic?

Lots of good choices above - brought back a lot of memories :)

My choices would be something like Tenpole Tudor - Swords of a Thousand Men

or from the same era, Men Without Hats - Safety Dance

A bit poppie I know, but I was about 10 or 11 when this came out

But when I think of one hit wonders, this always comes to mind, not sure why...

Maybe I should start a parallel thread to this on the subject of popular bands that you wish had been one hit wonders, could be a few candidates in there :P
