It's National "One Hit Wonder" Day!

"Bottle of Wine (fruit of the vine)" - The Fireballs

In what seems to be the generally accepted spirit of the thread:

”Sugar, Sugar” - The Archies

(Also happens to be the very first record I ever owned; cut out from the back of a “Cap’n Crunch” cereal box 😊)

Now, since there also seem to be varying (and questionable) criteria used for qualifying, let’s have some fun and take it to absurdity: “A song or tune by an artist that was very popular and the only that got a lot of airplay; and, likely the only one that the majority of listeners would recognize and associate with that artist”. From that standpoint, a “one hit wonder”:

“Birdland” - Weather Report
“The Girl From Ipanema” - Stan Getz
”Take Five” - Dave Brubeck

Then, there is that tune that goes something like “ta-ta-ta-TAAA” by that guy, what was his name? Ludwig, or something like that 😄

"Abraham, Martin & John"  Dion

@slaw, perhaps you're too young to have heard it when it was new, but surely you're heard Dion's "Runaround Sue" on oldies radio, not to mention "Lovers Who Wander." To hear him sing a song as no one else could have, give a listen to "(I Was) Born To Cry." Intense!
