“Wild Thing” by the Troggs ..

One of the things that makes it hard to designate songs in this category is making sure the artist was really a "one-hit" wonder. The Troggs has Wild Thing as their biggest hit but they also had this top ten hit (which IMO is their best song):

Love is All Around

I was going to suggest this song:

Come and Get Your Love by Redbone

but then I remember that they had another top 40 hit in Witch Queen of New Orleans. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

96 Tears by Question Mark & The Mysterians

[Michael.SF.]

Had to look it up, but it did qualify as a one hit wonder:

Scratch My Back -- Slim Harpo

[Jambe]

New York’s a Lonely Town - The Trade Winds

[Loud Mime]

Sing along!

Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor On The Bedpost Overnight.

ROFL

[Michael.SF.]

He only had one hit, but his early death under mysterious circumstances (drugs or gambling are reported to likely be the cause of his murder) prevented him from others:

I fought the Law -- Bobby Fuller

[MoochPooch]

Cowsills “Hair”

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

Actually, I think that it is, “Does Your Bubble Gum Lose Its.....”

[Michael.SF.]

Good luck with that!!

Cold and I do not get along well, that is one reason we moved to Phoenix!

[Fiji Hill]

This group from the East Side of Los Angeles scored big with a tune that has roots going back to fourteenth-century Germany. However, they never had another hit.

Land of a Thousand Dances--Cannibal & the Headhunters (1965)

[Michael.SF.]

I thought Cochran had several top 40 hits?

[mylife]

a few, but dead to soon.

[vetvetdoug]

Patience and Prudence Gonna Get Along Without You Now

[Michael.SF.]

Two side notes to you: If you have not seen this commercial, you need to: Come and Get your love -- Father and Son Commercial

Second regarding qualifiers for one hit wonders: What is also amazing is how many great people, never had a hit that scored high enough to put them on that list.
