This is disqualified cause my boy Falco was no one-hit wonder :colbert:. Rock Me Amadeus was his biggest hit in the US, but he was a star in Europe and had a bunch of other songs that charted well in the US (Jeanny, the original version of Der Kommissar, Vienna Calling).

I actually prefer their cover of "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" to the original, which is saying something since I loving love The Smiths.

I think the big reason is that the Smith's original feels like half a song (its stupidly short despite being a good arrangement in itself) and their cover just really built on it with some excellent production and the Oboe is a beautiful addition.

My actual second favourite song by them is This World. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qbbaPcXfEc Its just got a rhythm that makes me feel great when i listen to it.

This one is kind of cheating because it's a collaboration of artists from Regurgitator and Spiderbait who were massively popular bands in Australia but it's still an awesome song so I'm allowing it anyway.

Ratcat had a couple of other charting hits around the same time, "That aint bad" seems to still get regular air time.

Also you probably dont realize The Avalanches also did songs like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpqm-05R2Jk so they definitely arent one hit wonders.
