cant think of anymore =(

I can go way back to the doo-wap days in 50's where most of the songs were one hit wonders. The music was only recorded on 45rpm which was only like 3 minutes long. Most of them were one hit wonders

Billie Ray Cirus (Achy Breaky Heart),
"Nothings going to change my love for You", (Peter something, from Hawaii)
Oh and something like 12,000,000 versions of "Mambo #5", and yet a one hit wonder.

a few months back, i saw a list of the 100 greatest one-hit wonders. i think the number one was margarita.

the song '' one night in Bangkok'' comes to mind,

Flowers by Billy Yates is the only one I can recall worth mentioning. At least he sang country.
