Don't forget "99 Red Balloons"  though can't recall who sang it other than they were from Germany.


i thought they were from sweden and the real meaning of the song was to stop teh nukes. anyhow tons of good picks.

the 80s were a great time!

"Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band
"Makin' It" by David Naughton (the Dr. Pepper guy)
Yes, i have to admit i love "Afternoon Delight" and "Makin' It" is good too.  Someone else mentioned "My Sharona" which i love.  Seventies music, esp. the one hit wonders, have to be my favorites.  Narrowing it down from hundreds....lol...i came up with a list of some of the best:
 
Thunder Island - Jay Ferguson
Gold - John Stewart (no, not THAT Jon Stewart)
Stumblin' In - Suzi Quatro and Chris Norman (Leather Tuscadero rocks!)
Toein' The Line - Rocky Burnette
New York Groove - Ace Frehley ("Kiss" guy solo)
Torn Between Two Lovers - Mary McGregor (the tables are turned...lol)
Baby Come Back - Player (Ridge Forrester rocks!)
Moonlight Feels Right - Starbuck (best xylophone solo ever!!!!)
Romeo's Tune - Steve Forbert
Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon (aaaa oooooo)
 
80's:
Get Your Rocks Off - Primal Scream
Shake It - Ian Matthews (from "Little Darlings" - a great 80's movie)
Hearts - Marty Balin
In My House - Mary Jane Girls
 
90's:
Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve (even if it was stolen from the "Stones")
You Get What You Give - The New Radicals
Are You Jimmy Ray? - Jimmy Ray (i loved this....lol)
 
It's almost embarrassing to admit liking some of these....but not so embarrassing as to keep it secret.......luci

Only problem is that they werent a one hit wonder.  They had 2 other songs that charted in the top 10 in the US and even better in the UK and Australia.

Yes, but we're playing a little loose with the "one hit" tag; now your pick (a damn good one btw) was a one-hitter for sure.
