Good thread, guys! Kinda 80's heavy, though.
I'm computer illiterate, and besides, I doubt there would be Youtube links, but here are mine:
"Gimme Dat Ding" by the Pipkins
"Timothy" by the Buoys. The only song I know of about cannibalism. Written by Rupert Holms, of "Pina Colada Song" fame.

Awesome, JMS! Thanks a lot for both of those!

Ah yes, Timothy. OF course that brings up other morbid tunes. Bloodrock managed to get this horrid bit to number 36!

Hmmmmm, morbid tunes? I think this might be J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers only hit song, but I could be wrong.
YouTube - J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers - Last Kiss
:OT That's one of my favorite songs, There are many remakes of the song, but Pearl Jam does the absolute best Version! IMHOQuote:

Has anyone mentioned Mambo #5 back in the late 90's... I think he had a few popular songs, but Mambo Nr 5 was his big hit and shortly thereafter he faded away...

Okay, I'm back and I see some great additions here. The video for Mambo #5 is very hot!
I'm going back to the morbid with Mark Dinning. I still find it hard to believe the dumb chick stepped in front of a train for a class ring!:

Good morbidity but the Shangri-Las were no one hit wonder. They were a Phil Spector group and he was known for squeezing more from his girl groups than anyone would imagine. My favorite Shangri-Las song even made it onto the Goodfellas soundtrack. I'm sure everyone remembers:

Thia does make me think of a whole bunch of girl group one hit wonders but here's one from Jim Carroll that probably has the highest body count of any song ever:
