What 1 Hit Wonder Has Gotten the Most Mileage Off One Song?

I am in complete agreement with your conclusion. And that was Wild Cherry that flunked out to that one hit wonder.

Ban this uninformed Obama voter. KC and the Sunshine Band had hits like "That's the Way (I Like It)", "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "I'm Your Boogie Man", "Keep It Comin' Love", "Give It Up", and "Please Don't Go".

Proof that stupidity contributes to political threads, too....

Good answer. They're probably still touring on that one song.

Please Come to Boston - Dave Loggins

The "one hit wonder" threads always get a set of legs, an then die off because idiots a) never "quantify" what makes up a "one hit wonder", and b) douchebags, who remember only one song, start naming bands that have no place in a "one hit wonder" thread.

I think VH1 even had them as the top 1 hit wonder. They opened a concert w/ "The Final Countdown" then played it as their encore.

Well, if VH1 says they were OHWs, then it must be true...

Hey poster, yeah poster

Cursing at your wife

You're a discontented runner

With a regimented life

I've no doubt you dream about

The times you'll never run

But I wish someone had've talked to me

Like I wanna talk to you

I've been to Turkey and Albuquerque

And anywhere I could run

I joined the team up in Oregon

And we fartleked in the sun

But I ran out of places

And friendly faces

Because I had no natural speed

Oh I've bought all the merchandice

But they'd never sponsor me

My pick, Billy Ray Cyrus for "Achy, Breaky Heart" got him a TV series and the siring of Miley.

So far I've seen nothing to convince me that the OP was wrong about Cyrus.

The typo in the OP (siring not signing) is also priceless.

The Wonders

"That Thing You Do"

The question was most mileage from the one-hit wonder song, not just listing one hit wonders:

The answer: Modern English - I'll stop the world and melt with you - - played in every sappy teen love movie, was popular in the early 80s college party scene, lots of mileage and still played.
