The One Hit Wonder Music Thread

I was reminded about this song recently, played at the club.

Whether Amii was a one-hit-wonder or not is actually somewhat disputed!

In the 90's this one played at every house party and dance club...

totally shocked to discover this was a cover

Good one Cherise, I didn't know Soft Cell covered this song in 1981

In 1964 Gloria Jones did the original - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKUjI_CbIY0

In 2001 Marilyn Manson did his version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-0MXklxHlQ

OK....well, Free might be a one hit wonder, (1der?) but Paul Rogers sure isn't!

ANYONE who has ever known my younger sister knows this as her personal theme song. It featured rather prominently at that wedding reception...

I was listening to Tom Petty today and they did a cover of a song from a one hit wonder band known as "Thunderclap Newman". The Wiki on these guys is interesting too with Pete Townsend being the Producer.
