Its pretty much certain songs only,not the band itself,some of these songs were pretty good I thought.

This thread is about one hit wonder songs that some bands did that were good,not the band itself,

some of these songs were not played that much when they came out on the radio.

Songs only not the band.

example:

Tears for Fears did a song called "Mothers Talk"famous band,but the song was not played much

sorry if this confused anyone here.

yeah but "one hit wonder" means they only had ONE hit and nothing else. so something like tears for fears and erasure were not one hit wonders. so it is not about the band you are right but it is required that the band had A hit and nothing else.

some one hit wonders are-

that chick that did that oh mickey song

a-ha - take on me

a flock of seagulls - i ran

vanilla ice - ice ice baby

frankie goes to hollywood - relax

bobby mcferrin - don't worry be happy

david essex - rock on

dexy's midnight runners- come on eileen

len - steal my sunshine, was it a hit? i don't know but it is the only one i ever heard on the radio by them.

falco - rock me amadeus

kajagoogoo - too shy

the knack - my sharona

men at work COULD be considered but they had like 3 popular songs

murray head - one night in bangkok

midnight oil - beds are burning

sly fox - let's go all the way

toto - africa

soho - hippy chick

taco - puttin on the ritz
