Just wondering what everyone's favourite one hit wonder is?

I like a few: Meredith Brooks '*****', Dee-Lite 'Groove Is In The Heart', Jimmy Eat World 'The Middle', Tracy Bonham 'Mother Mother', The Proclaimers '500 Miles' etc.

What are your favourites?

hahaha...except of course that the proclaimers have been selling out large venues for the past 15 years and drew the biggest crowd and one of the UK's largest music festivals only 2 years ago

but yes...500 miles is probably their biggest song...but letter from america, sunshine on leith were also pretty big

as for my favourite one hit wonder...can you dig it by the mock turtles... stick out tongue

Alpha Centauri
Yes because Jimmy Eat World are also one hit wonders...aren't they?

Unless you mean they have a single massive hit.

I don't think Jimmy Eat World are one-hit wonders. erm

^^ Same.

They just happen to release a single which went mainstream - they are most certainly not a one hit wonder.

Nena ("99 Red Balloons"wink had ultiple other songs that are kind of well known too.
If you mean Soft Cell with "Tainted Love" they were rather famous in the UK too I beleive.
Right Said Fred also had other hits: "You are my mate", "Stand up for the champions" ...then again maybe they are jsut famous over here...

What does this Hit mean anyways? What is it judged by....after all did Radiohead have a real "Hit" yet? Maybe "Creep"...

I remember them getting song of the year in Australia's ARIAs. And them saying "thanks for having good taste". And the competition they had I didn't blame them.

Freakin one-hit wonders.
