8 One-Hit Wonders We Want to Forget

You know those songs that get stuck in your head and DO NOT LEAVE? Pretty awful, right? But isn't it particularly painful when the tune playing on loop in your mind is just terrible? And you know the words. All. Of. The. Words. You shake your fist at the sky and mumble under your breath something about pop radio, and before you know it, you're singing it again.

One-hit wonders aren't necessarily bad things. Look at songs like "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell, "Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners, and "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum—those are all pretty awesome one-hit wonders. Heck, did you know that even Johann Pachelbel's "Canon in D" (yes, the one every new bride walks down the aisle to) was a one-hit wonder as well?

But how on earth did some other one-hitters even get produced—nevermind become legend. Perhaps some were catchy enough that they just slipped through the cracks. But others are just so god-awful it's amazing that you can still remember every single lyric.
