I don't know if this song ever crossed the "hit" threshold, but I remember hearing it a lot a few years ago and I have heard absolutely nothing about this band since:

I actually read this wrong and thought you said, "I used to get that song stuck in my head any time I'd have a LOVER in Memphis". I was like WTF
Not my favorite, but this is the song I always think of when the topic is one-hit wonders:
Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me

Some great somgs here but don't forget: Steam with Na Na Na Na Kiss Him Goodbye
Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye - YouTube
Edit -- Just watched this video for the first time and it is perhaps the worse recorded lip-syncing I've ever seen. I'm thinking some illicit drug use on both sides of the camera. Plus the way that the lead singer dances, may explain why this group had only one hit.

Would this even have been considered a hit? I've been a Guster fan for years & I would think their biggest "hit" over the years would probably be "Fa Fa".

Liar Liar by the Castaways has to get some top ten if not overall top consideration.
... it stands the test of time
... it made it into the soundtrack of several movies
... written and performed by an obscure garage band thrown together to play a fraternity party
... the song peaked at #12 nationally on billboard
... no other hits by the group, possibly not even any other surviving recordings

I'm not familiar with that song. Do you have a link?

That's not a one hit wonder, more like an every Friday hit for most posters on here. :smile:
Cupid Shuffle-Bryson Bernard
Dude was on The Voice this year too and didn't make the cut. Cee Lo was slightly surprised to see Cupid himself show up on the show. The funny part was him saying that he wanted to get rid of being known for just the one song and then proceeded to perform said song.

Yeah, the guy who wrote the second post saw it.
I actually did not see the movie, but remember the song.
