"Come on Eileen!
Far from being One Hit Wonders, Dexys Midnight Runners had 9 UK Top 40 singles, including Geno, Jackie Wilson Says, and Because of You
Cal"
Yeah they had quite a few.
'Celtic Soul Brothers' is another favourite of mine. |

"I think some people are mistaking bands or artists who just happen to have a very well known song with being one hit wonders. "
Another typical example of that is 'You Spin Me Round' by Dead or Alive.....This is the only one people tend to remember, although they had many hits! |

"Oh Superman by Laurie Anderson....
Ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ahah,...etc
Love that one....around 9 mins long!
Lol....nearly as bad as the Crazy Frog  "
Crazy Frog was actually a "reworking" of Axel-F by Harold Faltermeyer... this is almost certainly an 80s One Hit Wonder

"Someone will probably tell me this isn’t a one hit wonder, but…
Live it up - mental as anything. Always reminds me of crocodile dundee, a film I loved.
Honourable mention to the safety dance."
Mental as Anything.....I can't recall anything else  |

"There's certainly plenty to choose from.
One of my favourites is 'It's My Party' by Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin (1981)
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone"
