Scott McKenzie - San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)
Not cheesy at all, just a really nice tune.
Oh, and seconding Cornershop, although I think I prefer the band's own version to the Norman Cook remix. Don't know if it counts as a one hit wonder that way, but what the hell. :p
Oh yeah, I totally agree. This song is actually pretty darn great. It has that old The Mamas and the Papas sound to it, and if I'm not mistaken one of the members wrote this sone back in the day?Quote:

"Bittersweet Symphony" - The Verve
The Way-Fastball

How on earth are Blur one-hit wonders? Leaving aside whether you like them or not (and I love them), they had other successful songs.
I was going to say both of those. :pQuote:

I tried to hate it, but the lyrics were just genius.Quote:

I have absolutely no idea. Even if you were to just buy The Best of Blur album, you'd easily find several songs you'd heard before even if you weren't a Blur fan. Honestly.Quote:

Yes, it's impossible not to love "I'm Blue".. that's just how it is.Quote:

..and yes I'd also say that "Tainted Love" could count as a one-hit wonder - it's a great song too.
