Your Favourite One-Hit Wonder

geeky

This song just came on in the coffee shop where I'm working/procrastinating. I still really like it, and the meaning is a bit clearer 14 odd years later!

So, good folk of AH, what's your favourite one-hit wonder?*

I know this might fit in a music forum, but I was hoping for less anoracky/elitist answers than one might get here.


*For me, this narrowly edges out OMC's How Bizarre.

Such an awful song. And if they're still going strong, hardly a one hit wonder? I'm angry with you for reminding me those idiots existed, that was a plague on my ears in the 90s or whenever it was.
