2)The Spin Doctors had a second hit with "The Two Princes"
3) Devo had a second hit with "Girl You Want"
4) Billy Idol had numerous hits besides "White Wedding", including "Rebel Yell", "Eyes Without A Face", "Dancing With Myself" and "Rock The Cradle of Love".

I knew it wasn't Weird Al, so I searched and found a reference to Silly Willy

Her hair is gray and old
Her lips chapped and dry
Her hands are always cold
She's got Marty Feldman eyes

"Walking On Sunshine" by Katrina and The Waves is such a perfect song, it's amazing the band never did much of anything else.

Also, "Wonderful Life" by Black is a beautiful song.

One of my favorite one hit wonders is "Head to Toe" by Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam. I used to make up all kinds of dance routines to that one!
