Definitive 'primarily known for one song' band?

[Darsnan]

Norway shouldn't feel left out:

What about Vulcans?

 

[Kyriakos]

Norway shouldn't feel left out:

They're Swedish. So very much modern popular music kind of is, if one scratches...

The media phenomenon Henrik Schyffert decided he might as well try to become a rockstar as well, with his at the time GF Cia Berg as singer, and as producer dude, Gordon Cyrus, who actually knew something about music for this project. They did not achieve interstellar fame, even if his mates at MTV in London gave them all the air-time they could on the channel. So Schyffert instead put all his efforts into THE Comedy group of the 1990's in Sweden, which he had taken the initiative to form (where everyone else was far more talented than him, which was 100% deliberate) who defined the 1990's and Gen-Xers there.

[Perfection]

I think he is mostly known for this:

Although he also had a hit with a cover: (youtube doesn't allow the video to show if you link to the non-live version)

Tainted Love was also a cover

 

[Kyriakos]

^Hm, that's a bit of a let-down :/
I like Almond, it's just not a good look to have both of your most famous hits be covers.

 

[Perfection]

Yeah but the Soft Cell version slaps.

And since the Manson Cover draws from the Soft Cell cover, it makes the Manson cover a cover of a cover

[amadeus]

The Fixx had a few hits.

 

[Manfred Belheim]

There was that chick who had that "Look what you made me do" song, or whatever it was.

 

[Kyriakos]

There's this:

It is meh, but likely over-hated.

I suppose that most people know Beck from Loser, which isn't exactly cutting edge music either.

 

[Hygro]

I know Beach House for other songs :s
