Biggest One Hit Wonder?

Ahhh, my childhood.

A few other winners from that era:

As for the argument over what constitutes a "one hit wonder", I like the rule I just made up ten seconRAB ago: if you type the artist's song into Google and the first thing Google suggests is a song title they are indeed a one hit wonder...
 
I did a quick search and was surprised not to find a similar thread.

Anyway, what do you think was the biggest one hit wonder? It can be a song, album, whatever.

I'll start off with (though I know you can guys can do better) LEN - Steal My Sunshine. I loved the song a lot more before I found out the band totally sucks.
 
Oh christ, i remeraber my older sister getting that single on cassette when it came out and playing it non-stop.

One of the most retarded things i ever saw was a few girls doing the macarena to Whigfield's 'Saturday Night' in a nightclub recently. I laughed...

But speaking of one-hit wonders here's a guilty pleasure that brings back good memories

Or even this one;

^ At least I remeraber that being around quite a lot back in the day as well. They're not really what I'd call a one hit wonder then.
 
The Only Ones- "Another Girl, Another Planet"

Everyone only knows the blink or 'sharables version... no one pays attention to the lot that originally did it!

Oh my god if I have to hear Marabo #5 ever again I might go crazy and kill someone. It was used in just about every commercial for years after that...
 
Eh, I don't think it's nearly as known. It's certainly not super instantly recognizable to me anyway (might have heard it a time or two before). Good song though.
 
Here's another 90's gem for ya:

I really don't know if they had any other hits, TBH, but this is the only one people know by them these days. In fact, I doubt most people even know the band's name. This is just one of those "THIS song!!!" songs.
