All-Time Fave One-Hit-Wonder

[Kinch]

Best Reggae song ever.
”The Israelites”

 

[Cupped]

Dwight Twilley Band, I'm on Fire




T. Rex, Bang a Gong

 

[JP4CY]

They played the M Shop I think.

 

[Cfinnerty16]

Easy

 

[MeanDean]

Dutch band, had top-100 singles success in Netherlands (naturally) and some in Australia, but only song to chart in US (#21).

Much like this one. Basically a one hit wonder IN THE US, but had about a dozen hits in their homeland (also the Netherlands).

Spotify tells me that about about the only Michael Penn fan, but this does get played

Haven't heard that song in a long time, but I always liked it. Almost sounds like a Beatles song 20 years too late.

 

[Letterkenny]

Found this list of current one hit wonders.

According to this, yes, in 2001 (and perhaps after, I checked only from roughly early 90s til early '00s)

Matty Van Winkle's cousin,.....so sad for Matty Van.

 

[Frak]

Can't believe this one hasn't shown up yet. One of my favorite songs.

 

[JP4CY]

Seems like all the one hit wonders are from before 2000. Are there any modern day one hit wonders?

Saw them in East Village:


Another Letterman performance:


I like this more than the album version:
