One-hit wonders - need help with a playlist
I'm working on a one-hit wonders playlist (80s, 90s, 2000s). What is a MUST to include?
Here's the list so far... alphabetical order. NOTE: There are a few songs by a small handful of artists that my wife and/or I enjoy, but their larger collection we don't like. So there are a few in there, like Lady Gaga or Beyonce, that aren't one-hit wonders, but rather part of the few hits one of us enjoys from that artist.

I hate the song with the burning fire of 1000 suns, but I bet a lot of people would include Macarena.
