Favourite one-hit wonders
Watching that advert for the one-hit wonders CD got me thinking about those groups that had a mega hit with a song (usually from a jeans ad!) and then were never heard from again! Who would you nominate as your top three one-hit wonders? I'd go for:
"Inside" - Stiltskin
"Spaceman" - Babylon Zoo
"Safety Dance" - Men Without Hats!

Surely it was in terms of chart success? Can't say I remember anything else of theirs being as successful as 'Inside'.

I'd agree with Spaceman and Inside, they rock!
Also, Pump up the Volume by M.A.R.R.S. was very cool.
And of course I can't leave out The One and Only by Chesney Hawkes.

I just thought of another one I wanted to nominate, which tends to get stuck in my head for hours on end:
"Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants.
I loved this weird, catchy tune!

Ah but They Might Be Giants had 'You're Not The Boss Of Me' which was later used for Malcolm in the Middle.
Nena - 99 Red Balloons
Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satelite(did she ever do anything else? Can't think of anything)
Various soap stars (Stefan Dennis, The Blakeney Twins...)
I can think of plenty who should never have even thought about being anything other than one hit wonders tho, lol
<edit> they aren't faves, just ones I could think of
