One Hit wonder MP3's for $0.69
Here are just a few of the many
Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby
Kris Kross - Jump
The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
Men At Work - Down Under
Marcy Playground - sex and candy
I forgot about a lot of these (I guess that's why they are One-Hit Wonders). Awesome.
Men At Work had more than one hit. Remember "Who Can It Be Now?"
It's hard to be in a bad mood after you listen to "Sugar, Sugar".
Thanks for posting!
@dvshrt: Yes, indeed!
Not that anyone asked but, technically Vanilla Ice and Kris Kross are two hit wonders. Illshutupnow
Ends up I'm really glad this was posted. I got $5 in mp3 credit that I'd better use before it's expired, and this reminded me of it!
You can get a few of the ones listed above (and a bunch of other stuff) free on the Google market.

@dvshrt: So true! Their first album was a pretty good one!
After browsing this list, I think some of these bands should pay ME for buying their whole albums!
And you know one of my favorites that I didn't see on the list? Diesel's "Sausalito Summer Nights!"
You've been Rickrolled!
@ladygzb: It should also be noted that in some cases, when you can't get these songs for free in Google's Music store... you can get some for only 49 cents and I believe today is the last day for this particular promotion.
For instance, "I'm Too Sexy" is currently 49 cents in Google's Music store.
@tcayer: Sausalito Summer Night can be had in Google's Music store for only 49 cents for the song, and I believe today is the last day for this promotion.
If that link doesn't work, go to https://market.android.com/music and search for Sausalito Summer Night. Then, preview it to be sure it's the right version of what you're after.
Relevant only due to the one-hit theme... I was visiting the ATL a few months ago and a pop station was running a contest to name the tune while only playing a clip with the lyrics "Save tonight". Silly ATL hipsters took 10 minutes to guess the name of the song. I felt old.
Vanilla Ice isn't a one hit wonder. Doesn't anyone remember Go Ninja, Go Ninja Go! from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx7dt0Wscpc
One Hit wonders? So that means every band out right now?
Go ninja, go ninja, go!
Picked up a couple Amazon "one hit wonders" even though that label is a bit misleading in some cases. Oh and kudos on the Android/Google links above too, those are some good free and cheap tune downloads too!
OMG; Joe Dolce, Shaddap You Face? Some of these songs, crap, are blowing my mind. John Travolta "Let Her In"? One word, awful. Paris Hilton? I'm speechless. I agree with the Men At Work posts; they should not be lumped into one-hit-wonders. The Power Station shouldn't either, or The Romantics, or Quiet Riot. It was a nice detour from the normal surfing ;)
@ninkumpoop: None of the hipsters are willing to use Soundhound?
