Song of Day February 2023: One hit wonders

Hi all! didn't see a SotD list yet or anyone who claimed it so i will quickly step in. The theme is one hit wonders, whether it's a one album and done band or maybe a one good album and done band. Or just an artist that is known for one radio hit. Give me artists who may have a brief (succesful) career but are still worthy to get a spotlight. In order to rec, please give me the artist - songname with a link. Also preferably tell from which album and keep in under 8 minutes Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yo9Aj7t1IZwG41xFgX9kzIugIsVckENq5RnQace1WDw/edit#gid=1540989504

Very fun band who made very fun tracks, they did the one album and then called it a day. just as well because they’d have only fallen into SEO obscurity

"Beware of my Crew"
https://youtu.be/l8TGGwuqqvM

The LBC Crew were Snoop Dogg's proteges in the Death Row days but none of them slacked on the mic. Bad Azz, Techniec, Tray Deee and Lil C Style all brought unique and strong flavors to the group which should've gone on to make multiple records, but their sole album only came out 15 years after recording due to Lil C Style destroying the tape and Death Row falling apart. Somehow they found a backup of it, I'm assuming, and put it out. This was their only single but it stands as a west coast classic.

Van Dik Hout "Stil In Mij"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLiuf5QFqpg

While only being a fairly minor hit back when it was released, Stil in Mij has become a classic in Dutch pop culture and one of the biggest Dutch-language songs of alll times. The band had some other small hits, but i doubt any non fan could recall any other song from them

"I Loved the Way"
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=nLpmNEYCGk0

Ok, an artist who did release 2 records (not one) and never had a hit, but deserves more exposure.

"Transcendal Floss"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPiwKdI4w18

Okay how about this: Hermann Szobel was a musical prodigy that created this jazz fusion album when he was 18, after which he disappeared from the music world. Apparently, he resurfaced on a documentary in 2015 when he was being a homeless artist.

When you check out one-album bands and stumble upon the most definite proto-sputnikcore album from 1969:
21Silversun Pickups

"Lazy Eye"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_zvGIBreoI&ab_channel=Stumonkie

not only their best song by a stretch, but their most popular by a longshot. and before one of you says "but what about panic switch :c" look at that 100,000,000 stream difference

This song went to number 1 for 6 weeks in 1980 in Australia. Their next biggest song was 86.

"Lilybelle"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDehBqDyCo0

The Fibbers released two albums in the 90's but never really became big or found their audience while active. Carla Bozulich is still around, making very challenging albums. In my dreams this band would reunite because they make really good music.

"What Does the Fox Say"
https://youtu.be/jofNR_WkoCE

hat was my interpretation after my initial input mentioning What Does the Fox Say? was brutally dismissed but ok I may have been too quick to feel victimized about it, you know how it is these days.

Anyway, what a bange WTF IT'S 9 YEARS OLD??? I can't with this time dimension.

Also 1.1 billion views, whew.
