Several X users have listed their favorite ones in honor of the day, most of which were released between the 1980s and 2010s.
Chart-topping hits like Gotye's 'Somebody I Used to Know' and Aqua's 'Barbie Girl' are just two of the many songs that were the top one-hit wonders

“Sex and Candy” by Marcy Playground.
Not even their best song but that’s the one everyone knows.

Agree on Mungo Jerry. I had the LP, but my son took it many years ago.
He has quite the collection of old LPs.

O-O-Oh Child, by The Five Stairsteps,
Which was their only top-10 pop hit, even though they did have other songs chart in the top 100, and a handful that just missed being in the top 10 R&B chart.
But if you’re not an R&B fan, it’s probably their only song that you recognize.
