There are too many to list! I'm not sure if these were one hit wonders or not, but I like Der Kommissar and Rock Me Amadeus (Falco). OH: You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) - Dead or Alive. How about: I Wanna Be A Cowboy by Boys Don't Cry.
Would these be called two hit wonders? lol!
I also loved all the other songs people listed here! Oh, I don't want to forget Goody Two Shoes - Adam Ant. (I loved all his songs!)

So many great tunes have been mentioned.
Please note that some of these artists were not really one hit wonders. I added their songs in the spirit of the question.
One Night In Bangkok - Murray Head
Dance Hall Days - Wang Chung
True - Spandau Ballet
Tenderness - General Public
Mexican Radio - Wall Of Voodoo
We Close Our Eyes - Go West
The Promise - When In Rome
The Captain Of Her Heart - Double
Birds Fly - Icicle Works
Hanging On A Heart Attack - Device
Election Day - Arcadia (fall out from Duran Duran)
Life In A Northern Town - Dream Academy
Lay Your Hands On Me - Thompson Twins
I realize that every decade has produced their own share of one hit wonders. But I am not sure if it is the fact that I was in school in the '80's and I am partial to that decade but it seems that those shooting stars had a unique presence during their short stay.
