    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.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    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?

    Anyway, someone also mentioned Baz Luhrman - (Everybody's Free) To Wear Suncreen, which is also an amazing song.

    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.

    I'd also like to add Regurgitator - Polyester Girl. They aren't a one-hit wonder anywhere other than here in New Zealand - that song was the only one that ever had any radio air time.

    Oh God yes! I remember walking around while singing: "I'm blue, da-ba-dee-da-ba-daa" and so on. Man, that song was really something :cool:
    Ugh, that song made me want to scream! I hated it so much and it was played ALL the time.

    Kind of like mainstream pop and hip-hop today.
    I tried to hate it, but the lyrics were just genius.

    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.

    I think I'm inclined to go with Edwyn Collins, for the fantastic A Girl Like You. No idea why I like it, but there you go. Would Tainted Love by Soft Cell count as a one hit wonder? If so, that. Let's not forget Turning Japanese by The Vapors. Oh, and almost wholly for the Dr. Zaius song from The Simpsons, let's add Falco's Rock Me Amadeus.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

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

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