Vote for best one-hit wonder song/band ever !!

Ok I will get the ball rolling....


My vote goes for the song "Who's behind the Door" by Zebra !!

It was their only hit.........




Next please.........

Rock me Amadaeus by Falco. I know they had other hits in Europe, but that was the ONLY song that was a hit here in American. Honorable mention goes to safety dance by men without hats.
