My fave one-hit-wonders:

The Beatles--"Please Please Me": They had one hit and then disappeared forever. I wonder what happened to these guys. I believe they were from England or something; they're probably working in a steel mill.

Elvis Presley--"Heartbreak Hotel": Huge hit in 1956. This Presley fellow never had another hit and, as I understand it, spent the rest of his life shooting televisions. He should have listened when everyone said that rock'n'roll was just a fad.
