Freshman year of college was when it was a big hit, and the guys who lived next door in the dorm used to blast that song constantly. Those two sax notes, over and over and over.....

Mine was Biz Markie "You got what I need" - which as far as I know is another one hit wonder, though I admit I kind of liked it at the time until it became nauseating with how overplayed it was, lol

This is how I know you are from Mars and are trying to infiltrate human society with the sole purpose of preparing for destruction. 😎
That stupid bass line and chorus was big huge, oily, buttery, steak saucy titties.

Biz Markie was not a one hot wonder. He was pretty successful as a producer and had quite a few other albums. Plus his cameo in MiB 2 was pretty funny. Also probably the ugliest rapper ever - ( New Window )
Golden Earring-Radar Love
Andy Kim-Rock Me Gently (yes, fairly old)
Mouth and MacNeal-How Do You Do (another old one)
CW McCall-Convoy
Terry Jacks-Seasons in the Sun
707-Megaforce
Zager and Evans-In the Year 2525
The Original Castle (also Coven)-One Tin Soldier
Barry McGuire-Eve of Destruction
A lot on this list were just one hit wonders in the US. Many were huge in Europe. So many English bands ended up one hit wonders here.
Madness - Our House
James - Laid
Soup Dragons - Divine Thing
Midnight Oil - Beds are Burning
The Church - Under the Milky Way (off their 8th album, I think)
Boomtown Rats - I don't like Mondays (Huge in England)
The Alarm - Rain in the Summer Time

My fave one hit wonder? Easy:
Looking Glass - Brandy
Do covers count? Soup Dragons version of "I'm Free" is better than the Rolling Stones version and Soup Dragons also had Pleasure which wasn't a cover.

Ha! I'm 50+ and know almost all of the songs listed. I thought of the Andy Kim-Rock Me Gently song before I read your post. He uncannily sounded virtually exactly like Neil Diamond. Three other less obscure one-hit wonders from back in the 70s that I bet most folks know or would know if they heard the song
Looking Glass - Brandy
King Harvest - Dancing in the Moonlight
Fooled Around ad Fell in Love - Elvin Bishop

Primitive Radio Gods - whatever that longass song title was
The Cardigans - Lovefool

Standing Outside a Broken Phonebooth with Money in my Hand. Nice little BB King sample in there.
The Cardigans ended up with a pretty successful career as an indie rock band, strange as that may seem.
AFI: Girls not Grey
it's the only song I know by them.
that song was awesome too.
Spandau Ballet- True
Shoogie Otis- Inspiration Information
Funny, Butthole Surfers were a great punk band for over 10 years before that song came out.
Francis Scott Key... the Star Spangled Banner.
Lucas - Lucas with the lid off
Verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen!
Water's Edge
One, two, three, ow
Wake up, kids
We got the dreamers disease…

I forget the name of that song, but you all know the song I mean
Water's Edge
but they also had cumbersome. Both big hits mid-90's

New Radicals - You get what you give
She calls me Goliath, but I wear a David mask...
Cumbersome.
Mark Morrison- Return of the Mack
Camp Lo- Luchini (This is It)
Craig Mack- Flava in Ya Ear

Filter has been pretty successful through the years. Hey Man Nice Shot was probably their biggest hit, but there are others as well.

Yea, they've had a pretty good career: Trip Like I Do, The Best Things, Welcome to the Fold just off that album alone.
Little bit of trivia: The lead singer/founder Richard Patrick is brothers with Robert Patrick aka the T-1000 from Terminator 2.
