Best One-Hit Wonders?

So the technical definition of a one-hit wonder is a band that only had one hit, and I clarify that as a band that only had one charting single in the Top 40 or Billboard 100, or the equivalent of such in your country. This means that Vanilla Ice and Smash Mouth are NOT one hit wonders, as they both had four, count it, FOUR Billboard 100 hits. Anyways, let's dive in. What's your fave OHW? I'm American so I'm using OHW's from my country.
1Gary Numan
The Pleasure Principle

Cars
2Harvey Danger
Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?

Flagpole Sitta
3Lipps Inc.
Mouth To Mouth

Funkytown
4Chumbawamba
Tubthumper

Tubthumping
5Anthrax
Sound of White Noise

Only

Technically the 'Thrax are a OHW in America...this song reached #27 on the Billboard 100 when no other song even scratched the list.
6Dexys Midnight Runners
Too-Rye-Ay

Come On Eileen
7The Surfaris
Wipe Out

Wipe Out
84 Non Blondes
Bigger, Better, Faster, More!

What's Up?

Probably the definitive OHW: this song hit #1 but they literally never had a single other charting hit. How does that even happen?
