Wayne's World --> "I Love You Period", Dan Baird -- an actual bustout.  NTM but BOS2.

ETA: ah, he's the Georgia Satellites guy. Got to #28, making him a One-Hit Wonder twice.

And you've got me thinking about what other "dual" one hit wonders there are... The only one that comes to mind is Kajagoogoo/Limahl

we heard TWO others today: Everlast (House of Pain and solo) and Tom Cochrane (Red Rider and solo)

also Janis (solo and with Big Brother); Ian Matthews (Matthews Southern Comfort and solo); Sylvia Robinson (as Sylvia and with Mickey & Sylvia); and of course the Nuge  (Amboy Dukes and solo). The criteria here is a Billboard Top 40 single.

and the king is a guy who did it FIVE times, per Wiki:

Quote
British singer Tony Burrows may be the most prolific "one-hit wonder" — he sang lead vocals on five singular hits for five groups in the United States:
 "United We Stand", The Brotherhood of Man, No. 13 (January 1970) (note that a different group also known as the Brotherhood of Man later charted with "Save Your Kisses for Me" in 1976, but that group had no personnel in common with the group led by Burrows)
 "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)", Edison Lighthouse, No. 5 (April 1970)
 "My Baby Loves Lovin'", White Plains, No. 13 (July 1970)
 "Gimme Dat Ding", The Pipkins, No. 9 (July 1970)
 "Beach Baby", The First Class, No. 4 (October 1974)

Which is a very important one - if one uses R-n-R, Cochrane wouldn't qualify ("Washed Away"), and House Of Pain wouldn't have charted.

An all-Tony Burrows set would cause Snipeland to self-destruct.

I would LOVE it if she played Brotherhood of Man, Edison Lighthouse, White Plains, and The Pipkins in the same 1970 set.

But those are phoney-baloney studio groups, not actual bands. So I'm voting him off the island.
