    There's probably some more that I can't think of right now.

    Whoever said Frankie Goes to Hollywood - strictly they're at least three-hit wonders - what about Two Tribes or The Power of Love? Neither as big as Relax but then not much in the 80s was.

    Cornershop deserved to be much more than the on-hit wonders they were with the remix of Brimful of Asha. They're a great band.

    Fair enough. Another band that perhaps could be considered a one-hit wonder could be Fastball with the song "The Way." But they indeed had 1 or 2 more big ones. Does anyone even click links anymore?

    Not by Blondie.

    Also: Heart of Glass, Rapture, Call Me, Maria . . . . .

    That song by The Way reminds me of the 90s and how little I was. It's a good song, too.

    Yaaay, this is my guilty pleasure too. My parents get sick of me watching the One-Hit-Wonder things on TV.

    Well, one of my favorites is (of course) "Macarena". I don't think you get more one-hit-wonder than that. My very favorite is probably A-Ha's "Take On Me". I looove when boys hit those high notes. <3 The music video is any geek-girl's dream.

    Fixed.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    Yeah. I can think of a bunch of Blondie hits.

    Maria! Ave Maria! *DONG DONG DONG* ♫
    That's because "I Touch Myself" was by The DiVinyls Albeit they can sound like Blondie.

    I would have to separate them by decades...
    50's - "Rockin Robin" - Bobby Day
    60's - "Happy Together" - The Turtles
    70's - "Spirit In The Sky" - Norman Greenbaum
    80's - "Relax" - Frankie Goes To Hollywood
    90's - "Epic" - Faith No More
    00's - "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" - Eiffel 65
    same link for every video

    nice try though
    Too big. <-- yeah i heard that one before

    Most of these bands aren't one hit wonders.

    Yeah well, It's the ultimate one-hit wonder but I refuse to say it without at least trying.

    Because only one of their songs was a hit on the charts... Which constitutes a 'hit.' I agree their other music is great and with such publicity as appearing in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey they should of had many more to come, but the fact remains that 'Epic' is probably the only song of theirs considered a hit.
