More than just a one hit wonder

I was making a new mix CD for my car the other day (yes, I'm that hip), and I stumbled across the Beth Hart song, "L.A. Song", which was all cool and popular back in 2000. I also heard either Shawn Colvin ("Sunny Came Home") or Paula Cole ("Where Have All the Cowboys Gone") when I was listening to the radio a couple of months ago. Yes, that's the last time I voluntarily listened to the radio.

So now driving around with "L.A. Song" on my CD - and a cut off version of Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" thanksalotiTunes - I've gotten to thinking - what are some other one hit wonders of my generation? And not just one hit wonders, but the big "it" songs when we were growing up - you know the ones - they were really popular, and everyone would rush out and buy the CD because you just had to have the song. Or maybe you'd listen to the radio and wait and wait until the song came on and scramble to record it on your favorite mix cassette.

Here's some I've thought of. (I haven't verified that these are in fact one hit wonders, and some artists probably have more than one hit.)

• L.A. Song (Beth Hart)
• Sunny Came Home (Shawn Colvin)
• Where Have All the Cowboys Gone (Paula Cole)
• I'm Gonna Be (The Proclaimers)
• Peaches (The Presidents of the United States of America)
• One of Us (Joan Osborne)
• Everything You Want (Vertical Horizon)

What other ones can you think of? I want to make another mix CD just of these songs, so I'd love to hear of any other songs (or artists) that come to mind!
