Kind of hard to think of Otis as a one hit wonder too.

A couple of bands that we may think of as one hit wonders are:
George Baker Selection - Little Green Bag.
Golden Earring - Radar Love.

How about the Knack. My Sharona. Best bass line ever.

Most would argue John Stewart to be a one hit wonder.
Though he had a rather prolific career in many ways.

I was intrigued by Tony Burrows so I found this video. Interesting career!

Even though he's technically a two-hit wonder, this one was always a favorite. His other hit was Thank You for Being a Friend.

Probably one of the more popular one hit wonders- Eye of the Tiger - Survivor.

Another one that comes to mind was a tune written by Mike Nesmith, of The Monkey's fame; 'Different Drum' performed by the Stone Poneys.
