A real rockin' tune!
I loved that song, thought it was better than China in your hand. However, they did have several other 'hits' so they can't really be one hit wonders. I will let you off though because i like your avatar

Un/Fortunatly I no longer own a Ra-Ra skirt, nor a sparkly baton thingy with metallic streamers on the end.

Not as much as Bernard, but still.
If you gave Bernard a ginger dye job in 1987!
Aztec Camera-Somewhere in My Heart
And Good Morning Britain would make them 2 hit wonders,but that was as much Big Audio dynamite as Aztec Camera....

Awesome! Love the electric boogieing little white kid... and the Haçienda stripes on the boombox!
They also did a track called "I Want it to be Real" if I remember correctly. Another Arthur Baker classic.

Murry Head.
A song about a chess game

Some of these may have been more than one hit wonders outside the US, though.
Come On Eileen is probably my favorite one hit wonder.Devo wasn't a one hit wonder in the US!
God.. These songs are sooo bad ;)
I've seen them on one hit wonder compilations. Whip It hit #14 in the US. Their only other top 50 was Working in a Coal Mine at #43. Close enough. Surprised Freedom of Choice didn't chart higher.

anyway
Modern English - I Melt with You
That song is still used constantly in commercials and things..
I love that song!
How could I have forgotten about that??
OK, it's tied with Come on Eileen as my favorite one hit wonder.
Passions - I'm In Love With A German Film Star
Dept S - Is Vic There?
Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes (Cheesy anthem, but I lurrve it)
JoBoxers - Just Got Lucky (OK, they were a two-hit wonder)
Kissing The Pink - The Last Film
and Der Komissar, but I can't remember who sung it...
Whoops.. Mebbe i should read the first page, next time.
Ok... How about 'Lets go all the Way' by Sly Fox, or My Sharona by The Knack.

Hey, now, what about Der Kommissar, Vienna Calling, and Jeanny? True, though, most Americans these days would probably consider him a one hit wonder.

Falco (see my post above) in German then After the Fire did a cover in English. After the Fire were definitely a one hit wonder!

Good calls. I had almost forgotten about Sly Fox!

Obsession by Animotion is one i can think of (1985)
Another one I can't believe I didn't think of! Cheesy synth pop at its best.
