Extreme - "More Than Words"

[JiriHrdina]

Tommy Tutone: Jenny (8675309)
and...
Crash: The Primitives

[RougeUnderoos]

Len -- Steal My Sunshine

I actually didn't like the song at all, but the girl that sings the chorus can steal my sunshine. And my drawers. And my innocence.

[BlackArcher101]

I had the displeasure of meeting Rob Van Winkle in the past year, what a dick he is. I wish it wasn't for work and I could have smacked him and told him Queen did that rythem the best already.

[The Goon]

"Come On Eileen"-Dexy's Midnight Runners

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Sky High by Jigsaw. Biggest one hit wonder in history IMO. You couldn't go anywhere in '76 without hearing this song.

[FlamesAddiction]

My favourite is probably "No Rain" by Blind Melon - although it is not my favourite Blind Melon song, it was proabably their only real "hit". A couple of other songs had moderate radio play, but I think those songs just piggy backed on the success of "No Rain".

[Frank the Tank]

Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger

[GKDarts]

Tough to call a band thats been together for 35 years a one hit wonder however, they are pretty much only known for one song....

Proco Harem - Whiter Shade of Pale.

Was my wedding song......to this day, neither my wife nor I have any idea what the song is about!!!

As a local plug...The Dino Martini's did a great job of it considering they'd rehearsed it once prior to our big day.

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Not my favorite but one that pops out at me.

Chumbawumba - Tub Thumper I think it was called.

I think it was 1996 that song was big, and everyone I know owns a copy of the CD.

[octothorp]

Right Here Right Now by Jesus Jones. Actually not their only hit as International Bright Young Thing and Real Real Real also did okay on the radio at the time, but they're basically forgotten now except for that one very marketing-savy song.

[La Flames Fan]

Right Said Fred---I'm too Sexy...HAHAHAHAHA

[Bill Bumface]

Frankie Goes To Hollywood- Relax
