Search function still ain't workin, was looking for the thread I started a year ago about "worst song ever recorded" It's still Richard Harris' Macarthur Park no matter what anybody says, but I heard last week Friday "he likes bread and butter" and that qualifies as a least liked one-hit wonder!

"touch of grey" by the greatful dead.
the best one hit wonders with the biggest following.
+1 on the Dead, but I dont think they would qualify.
Truckin?
How about Radar Love, by Golden Earing.
MikeM
Golden Earing had a comeback hit titled "Candy's Gone Bad"
"Candy's Gone Bad"... awesome tune! Don't forget they had yet another "comeback" hit in the early '80s, "Twilight Zone".
I had this wrong as well... It was "Twilight Zone" that was the comeback hit for Golden Earing.

OK, how about this one.
Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor (On The Bedpost Over Night) by Lonnie Donegan
I can't recall anything else he's done, at least over here. I know he's had some following on the other side of the pond.
But perhaps you answer this for me? If tin whistles are made of tin, what do they make foghorns out of?
Boom Boom 
Although this song got a lot of play waaay back in the day I was unable to find anything on Youtube.

I actually heard a live version of that a couple days ago on "The Vault" That album is probably still the most (monetary) valuable ever pressed.quote:

I don't know if they were a One Hit Wonder, but my vote goes to Mannfred Mann and the Earth Band for "Blinded By The Light".

Ok everyone who has seen Grease has heard this one "Who Put the Bomp (In the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" by the gone and forgotten Barry Mann.
Thats cause that song was never a hit.

A few from the 90's? What band did "Creep"? Whatever happened to the Gin Blossoms? Still play Edwyn Collins' "A Girl Like You" with the space guitar once in a while.
The lead singer for the Gin Blossoms actually died a while back.

PIE was McClean's biggest hit but he had others. "Vincent" comes to mind. I have two of his albums , lots of good stuff.

or "Boogie till you Puke" by Rootboy Slim and the Sex Change Band.........
Not trying to be picky, but it's "96 Tears". You might be confusing with "99 Luftballons" (99 Red Ballons) by Nena
