As a Brit I find it really funny reading bands like Blur and Oasis being lumped in as one hit wonders! Have you guys never heard Oasis' Don't Look Back In Anger?! I'm not even a huge fan of the band, but that song is huge in every sense of the word:
I'm not sure what year this song came out. It could have been an 80s hit rather than 90s but I thought I'd mention it: Turning Japanese by the Vapours. Unforgettable.
you're off by 10 years
Bright eyed kid: "Wow Typo Man, you're the best!"
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
Could be argued against being one hit wonders (I think they had a few albums), but 3 Colours Red - Beautiful Day.
That song was huge for about 20 mins, and although I had that album I don't remember anything else about them.
and the song that goes hand in hand for whatever reason:
Jesus Jones - Right Here, Right Now
That's hilarious! A split second after I finished hearing the chorus to Unbelievable in my head, I thought 'what was that other song? ....oh ya, Jesus Jones'....and then saw your post.
What IS the reason? Prob just cause they were top of the pops at the same time...if I'm not mistaken, Losing MY Religion was also huge at the same time.

I think they are both similar songs, from British bands with sort of a poppy-Primal Scream kind of vibe. They're similar songs, stylistically, that were big at the same time.

wow, this is hard on the brain , but a couple that immediately come to mind are:
The Breeders: "Cannonball"
Pavement: "Cut Your Hair"
Cracker: "Low" ("hey, hey, its like being stoned"...had to be to buy this cd )
Whale: "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe"
Len: "Steal My Sunshine"
The Flys: "Got You Where I Want You"

They actually had a lesser hit with Real Real Real. I remember it peaking at 3 on MTV's Top 20. EMF had one at the same time with Lies and that went to number 6. After that, we never heard from them, though.

I was a pretty big Jesus Jones fan back in the day.
i liked The Devil You Know a lot
That's one of my favorites. Mike Edwards wrote some really great lyrics nearly 30 years ago that are still relevant, if not more, today. Very underrated songwriter.

Blessid Union of Souls also had a huge hit with I Believe. Probably a bigger hit than Hey Leonardo, so they aren't a one hit wonder.

Sugar Ray had a handfull of huge songs:
Fly
Every Morning
Someday
When It's Over
Falls Apart
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
EMF - Unbelievable!
Oh! Oh!
and the song that goes hand in hand for whatever reason:
Jesus Jones - Right Here, Right Now
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
you're off by 10 years

That song was huge for about 20 mins, and although I had that album I don't remember anything else about them.
Could just be my bad memory tho! :oops:

King's Missile - Detachable Penis
LOVE those songs!
Everyone's a Winner baby....not exactly a big hit...not sure if it got any play in the states... but I liked the Brown Album
Spin Doctors also had a hit with "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong." A much better song, IMO
