    Don't think this one was mentioned (although this was more of a minor one hit wonder though). The Caufields- "Devil's Diary"

    Whoah - this stirred up some memories from the depths. Love seeing these forgotten tunes!

    Never really considered them a one hit wonder (mainly cause I like them a lot) but I guess you can say Gravity Kills is considered one with "Guilty"

    Love this song. Actually the whole album is not bad either.

    Shakespear's Sister - Stay
    Their only real hit, but the whole album was great. Was lucky to see them live back in the day.

    I guess technically The Bloodhound Gang's "The Bad Touch" is a one hit wonder. They did have a few minor hits though with "Fire Water Burn" and "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo".

    it was? Like i said in the other thread I wouldn't really call this a "hit". I don't think I ever heard this on the radio or even being played on MTV. Ok song I guess.

    Really?  It was definitely played on MTV and the radio.  I liked this song better than Bad Touch and that was a banger and funny as hell song.

    "Im talking about Falco and shit"  man that cracked me up.

    I remember that one, plus fire water burn was everywhere in 1996. Gonna have to DQ Bloodhound Gang.

    How bout primitive radio gods. Standing outside a phone booth blah blah blah.

    Seems 1995 - 1998 was rife with one hit wonders since mainstream music was aimless between the death of grunge and the surge of boy bands/female pop stars.

    I'd put Belly on the list.  Feed the Tree is the only thing I can recall from them.  The rest of the album was unlistenable to me.

    I know Spacehog was a one hit band, but I really enjoyed that entire album. Surprised they never got that second radio hit, because I listened to that CD all the way through so many times.

    A few of the guys in Spacehog lived in my neighborhood as they were coming up. I saw them a few times in smaller venues and got to be friends with the drummer. He was a really nice guy. I remember going to a party at the guitar players apartment once. Then of course, I lost touch with them as they got bigger, and the lead singer married Liv Tyler.

    Had to look this one up. Although the album it's on came out in 1989, the single wasn't released until 1990.
