definition of one hit wonders
Even though Eileen was there second Number One? That makes them at least the definition of a two hit wonder.
straw poll
who can name the other?
I have nil all and fuck all chance of doing so without google.
So based on that given my superior music knowledge I think the term “one hit wonder” is astonishingly apt.
It was literally in front of your eyes
Geno
No 1Not a bad tune……but I haven’t heard it til right now.

This one hit wonder talk is simply based on age, location etc
Dexys other number one was the posted “Geno”. Was massively well known when I was a teen among anyone that followed the UK scene at the time. Many many years later I even went to a Geno Washington gig in Putney on the basis of that Dexys song alone.
I won’t claim to like the Proclaimers that much but again only a one hit wonder at a very superficial level. A whole musical/movie was created with their songs and then there’s this…

And won on appeal

Fair call. I have heard that one.
Still unlistenable though.

Too-Rye-Ay was one of the first cassettes I bought in the early 1980s. I always thought that their cover of "Jackie Wilson Said" charted better than it did.
Got to No 5 in the UK

@MajorRage Saw her in concert at Kew Gardens a few years back and most of her stuff was pretty yawn (even if well sung). Seems to work really real well in combo with others like the one you posted though. Another example is this Stevie Wonder number.
