Unfortunately the artists in 17 are certainly not one-hit-wonders in this country, as much as we would like them to be.
17. We Like To Party (Vengabus) - The Vengaboys

I think #20 is "Rappers Delight" by Sugarhill Gang. And #4 is "Mickey" by Toni Basil.

I have an inkling that #18 is "As I Lay Me Down" by Sophie B. Hawkins. However, she did have one other hit, "Darn, I Wish I Was Your Lover." So she's a two-hit wonder.

Right again, Nally! But honeslty....I thoughht that "D@mn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" was by the band Texas?

No, in 1992, it was a big hit for Ms. Hawkins. I've never heard of a band called Texas.

#10...Did Europe do "The Final Countdown" as a cover? Because if so...I don't know who the original artist was.
I was, however, a HUGE Europe fan in the days of my youth...and they were SO not a one hit wonder. I looked up Joey Tempestt online a while ago though...and while he was so dreamy back then...yeah...not so dreamy anymore...

You are right, Arwen, but..well, it was my fault...it's the only thing by them I'd ever heard, so I assumed thay were a OHW....sorry

One more from me:
6. is "C'est La Vie" by now-defunct Irish girlband B*Witched, two of the members being twin sisters of Shane Lynch of Boyzone fame.

No need to apologize!! It could be that I just had a big nerdy crush, so I'm one of the only people who considered their other releases "hits." :)

Right again, Bobo! Man, I thought for sure that'd be one of the harder ones to place!

12. "Just keep swingin' it," is a line from my Favorite Sean Paul song...but he's not a one hit wonder. So...I'm stumped...
15. "She's a rocker with a nose ring" is Bowling for Soup...isn't it?

"Get Busy" (I'm seriously dancing right now...I never get sick of that song)
&
"The Girl All the Bad Guys Want" (I'll admit that it was written about me. Except for the rocker with a nose ring part. And...um...well...most of the song is inaccurate...except for the part about guys wanting me... ;))

BTW-
Stacy's Mom=One of my favorite songs
Barbie Girl=The worst song in the known universe, and possibly some parallel ones as well. Lene Nystrom deserves to be defenestarted
