My current favourite is "My Sharona" by The Knacks.
I also like I Love Rock n Roll by The Arrows (Joan Jett covered it in the 80s) and "Kitty" by a band called "Racey".

Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen
[/QUOTE]
Sir, I love your posts and have a lot of respect for you in your nature and temperament, but with all due respect, Come On Eileen was not a One Hit Wonder... Their song Gino (about Gino Washington - jazzman) was a no.1.
Just wanted to point it out:)
My faves include
Save Your Love - Renee and Renata
What Would You Say - Hurricane Smith
Jingo (can't remember the artist atm)
Monster Mash (also can't remember the artist LOL)
others I can't place right now :)

Tom Cochrane had plenty of hits in the 90s, as well as in the 80s with his band Red Rider.
In fact, Mad Mad World is the first record I ever loved, when I was 9. Sinking Like A Sunset and Get Back Up are still among my very favourite songs by any artist.

Midnight Oil are not a One Hit Wonder, they had various well known songs, for example "Truganini" and "Blue Sky Mines". I don't know how they charted but "One Hit Wonder" implies that an artist had only one song that made them famous and then they never had any success anymore.

The Bonzo Dog Doodah Band did a cover of the Monster Mash, but they also had a hit with the Urban Spaceman.
I know they weren't a one-hot wonder, but Crash test Dummies are known in the UK mostly for the 'mmm mmm mmm mmm' song.
Nina's '99 Red Baloons' is a good one.
