Cindy Lauper also had Time after Time on the charts, so she was at least a two-hit wonder. And The Bangles has several hits, including Manic Monday and Going Down to Liverpool (A Katrina and the Waves song, which they did much better)

For the record, it was The Hooters (of All You Zombies fame) that originally wrote and performed Time After Time. But yes, it was CL that made the tune famous (with The Hooters performing the back-up tunes during her recording).

Gary Wright, but then he had at least one other memorable tune, Love is Alive, which makes him a 2-Hit Wonder at best.

 

Now if you want a real One Hit Wonder , one must look to the venerable Ah Ha, and that number that went along with the cool pencil-sketch video of the dude in the cartoon that comes to life at the end of the clip. Can't even remember the name of the song, but the tune is now stuck in my head. madgo_ron.gif

I have to nominate "sugar ray" as the ultimate multi-one-hit wonder. They seem to have multiple one-hit wonders and still nobody takes them seriously (myself included...they suck) yet they churn out a new bubble gum hit every so often.
