Good Lord. That is one of the worst songs ever on a radio and it cracked the top 10??
What an era!
SIAP - this one and “Spirit In the Sky” are pretty solid:
Huge Toadies fan here, seen them twice in the last five or six years. I would argue that “Tyler” was also a decent sized hit for them.
I just went to an outdoor concert in September with the following lineup: Fastball, Tonic, Sugar Ray, and Gin Blossoms. It was an awesome throwback to my high school/college years. The first 3 were previously mentioned in this thread, but I don't think any of them qualify as one-hit wonders. Fastball had a 2nd big song (as mentioned before) and Tonic had at least 2 more that I would call "hits".
During the Gin Blossoms' set, the singer thanked the other bands for touring with them and then mentioned that despite being the headliner, they were the only band of the 4 without a #1 hit in the US. I thought that was interesting.

In my humble opinion Foster The People were a 2-hit wonder, because this song and music video slap
Off topic, Duncan Sheik song is one of those "misheard lyrics" cases that I still can't seem to shake ... to this day, I hear the refrain as "psychedelic breathing."
I see them on marquees in LA over the past few years just driving around so they must play a lot of gigs.
Maybe I'll listen to some of their stuff, I've heard from people they were a good band beyond the one hit. I googled them and found singer passed away from breast cancer in 2013.
