Yeah, I think they had songs called "Secret Smile" and "Singing in my Sleep" that got some radio airplay. Although "Closing Time" was really their only "hit", I'd say.

Feeling Strangely Fine is a great album 🙂

You could call The Heights and The Wonders one hit wonders, but they were based on a TV show or movie.

Let's take this back a little further in time.

Green-eyed lady - Sugarloaf
Spirit in the sky - Norman Greenbaum
In the year 2525 - Zager & Evans
 
yo Vanilla kick it one more time boooooooooooooy

Alright Stop collaborate and listen, Ice is back with a new invention

...
To the extreme, I light up a stage and watch a chump like a candle
 
Hmmm....one hit wonders.......<turns on the radio, as that describes every new artist from 2000 on>...........

Some older female one-hit wonders:

Frida - I Know There's Something Going On
Tracy Ullman - They Don't Know
Sylvia - Nobody

 
I tend to remember the one-hit wonders who had huge hits, like Chumbawumba, Vanilla Ice, T'Pau etc. and then NOTHING. You know, the ones where their album with the big hit that sold millions of copies is now in the $2 bin at Walmart.

Toni Basil - Mickey
Alannah Myles - Black Velvet
Soft Cell - Tainted Love
Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy
Lipps, Inc. - Funkytown
Deee-lite - Groove is in the Heart
Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy
