They had a few more hits each here in the UK - the international chart differences (not to mention my failing memory) make it harder to qualify real 'one hit wonders'.

sallycinnamon78 said:I remember desperately trying to make sense of the lyrics to that when I was a kid and coming up with something even sillier than the original lyrics. For years I was sure it was "you're too shy-de-shy, hush hush hidey pie".
I remember 'Too Legit To Quit' doing well, Stateside, in 1991/92.
jick said:It's a simple game. Just list some one-hit wonders you remember. Of course, no duplication, once it has been listed then that's it and try to find others that haven't been listed. I just want a comprehensive list of one-hit wonders. After all, since they only had 15 minutes of fame - I would have probably forgetten them by now and will only remember them after I read your lists. This may also drive some of you down memory lane. Here's mine....
Modern English - I Melt With You
Love Spit Love - Am I Wrong?
Toad The Wet Sprocket - All I Want
The Outfield - Your Love
Radiohead - Creep
Deep Blue Something - Breakfast At Tiffany's
The Church - Unguarded Moment
Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl
The Monkees - Daydream Believer
Saigon Kick - I Love You
Collective Soul - Shine
Candlebox - Far Behind
Stone Temple Pilots - Plush
New Radicals - You Get What You Give
Debbie Gibson - Electric Youth
I don't think there is really any hard-and-fast rule on how to categorize one hit wonders. Perhaps based on perception and feel. But the main criteria should be that it is not a recent artist, because they are still enjoying their 15 minutes now and it can last longer. So it wouldn't be fair just yet to put Avril's Complicated or Carlton's A Thousand Miles in the list until we see where their careers really end up.
That's all I can think of right now. I'm sure there's more and I'll add more as soon as I can think of them. Please help populate this list....
Cheers,
ya, theres alot on this list who have had more than one hit.
