Best one hit wonders?

dark crystal

Was listening to the radio earlier and on came 'My Sharona' by The Knack. Great song, but the band sunk without trace after that one moment of Glory...

I don't mind admitting I also have a soft spot for Chesney Hawkes's 'The One and Only'

What do you consider to be the greatest one hit wonder song?

I love that song Breakfast at Tiffany's by the Deep Blue Something. The song was a hit - think it made no.1 in the UK and America. It was the only song the band ever release. I don't know what happened to them.

a-ha weren't exactly one-hit wonders, though! They had at least one more, I thought.
