settle down tiger. they had one hit here. I'm sure there are many bands/artists that had many hits here and were one hit wonders on your side. the OP never stated a one hit wonder in a particular country.
admonishment acknowledged....now got any more to add to the thread?

Why has no one named the 1991 hit classic 'The One and Only' by Chesney Hawkes yet?! :eek:
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
They actually charted twice with that song.....so technically they're a Two Hit Wonder.

I drove up to Philly to see my favorite band Michael Franti and went to this bar to get something to eat, I was starving. While eating I made a comment on this guy with a vintage Ratt t-shirt and couple other peeps had other ones too. I was like WTH, come to find out Ratt was going to play at that biker bar that night.
I stayed and watched a few songs then had to go but man Bon Jovi opened for Ratt! I can't stand BJ.

I mean .. depends on what you call a hit ... if you watched headbangers ball every Saturday night from 12 - 3 on MTV ... Ratt had a few "hits" ... and I think some of these other tunes got a fair share of radio play ...
But now ... I feel the need to come up with some "metal" type one hit wonders .... sigh ... let me give it a whirl ... really the only ones that come to mind are REALLY shitty bands ... I can't think of a good one hit wonder ...

oh man ... "She's Only 17" ... ha! gotta love songs about jailbait.
You know how politicians always play tunes? They should play this when Bristol Palin takes the stage ... hee hee hee.
The laugh of the day, yes *She's Only 17* is right. In fact cleaning out my cd's I still have this cd, I gather back in the I'd listen to anything but I did like THAT song.
Maybe I have a thing 17 year olds you know that soft supple skin they have.

granted, not being from this generation ... perhaps they had other small hits at the time, but, now ... this is all they are known for.
