Survivor-Eye of the Tiger. Actually, I saw them live a while back and realized that they do have some other pretty good songs; however, they're most definitely a one-hit wonder, considering I saw them at a free-admittance festival in a town that's generally unmarked on modern day maps.

Another one is Golden Earring with Radar Love. Honestly, that didn't even do too well, but it's recognizable and pretty good. When you listen to any of their other songs though, it's kind of obvious why they're one-hit wonders...

Dropkick Murphys are just awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YOEO7jtIs4

I actually have no idea why I adore this song. It's just... cute.

More on topic, The Knack. I don't think I've ever met somebody who knows any of their songs other then My Sharona.

Surprised that nobody has mentioned "Fountains of Wayne's" Stacy's Mom.


Stacy definitely had it going on more than her mom did.
