I guess they belong in the 2 or 3 hit wonder archives. I have Live 8 and never noticed them. I will do so next time. Thanks.

I was just about to share the Timbuk 3 song! I loved their first album and I really enjoyed the two times I saw them perform (pre-band).

Add to that the fact that it depends specifically about the country you're referring to: while there is surely a hit song that placed a singer/group on the musical map, chart reaction may differ widely depending on where it was released.
Three examples taken by the posted videos above:
Andrea True Connection: another BIG single in 1978 with "what's your name, what's your number".
We Five: didn't chart at all here.
A-Ha: Take On Me at first release stiffed badly, the second time charted everywhere, following album/singles charted well in various european countries (stay on these roads, the sun always shining... the first ones that comes to mind).
Two of my all-time faves from 1970
Owen Paul with a Marshall Crenshaw cover.
The absolute classic one hit wonder.
The Blue Nile - Tinstletown in the Rain. Fun fact the subsequent album A Walk Across The Rooftops was released through Hi-Fi specialists Linn as a way to promote their High end Turntable. This Live performance is amazing. In fact their back catalogue needs the Steven Wilson treatment, Atmos mix please.
