Biggest One-Hit Wonder?
I was having a conversation about one-hit wonders today which got me thinking....what do you all think is the biggest one-hit wonder of all time?
When I think one-hit wonder, I can't help but remember Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping." How big did that song get..??? Amazing. Haven't heard much about them ever since. What other one-hit wonders have there been?

Macarena. That has to be the biggest one hit wonder of all time.
Just off the top of my head: Macarena Spirit in the Sky Seasons in the Sun Funkytown Mickey Many, many, many others....... Most of them are REALLY bad songs.

I think being a one-hit wonder is underrated. That's one hit more than most other musicians will ever have.

Norman Greenbaum was not a "1 hit wonder" with "Spirit In The Sky." The Walden, Mass born young lad had a HUGE follow up with "Canned Ham." lol
Besides the some local 1-hit-wonders, I liked "Green Tamborine" by The Lemon Pipers. I was with a group at the time that turned down recording that song because we thought it was too "dope-y." Oh well... Good thread! Brings back a lot of memories. Of course, just about every new song on the radio nowadays is a 1-hit-wonder. I wonder how it became a hit????
