'I Live For The Sun' - The Sunrays
(I think they did have another hit, 'Andrea' but it's barely known so I guess they count as one-hit wonders! Well, that is when people don't mistake them for the Beach Boys.

guy sebastian.. dunno if he's had a hit but sure to be a wonder in years to come.. Perhaps a NO-hit wonder..
Even the Noll boy has more a profile, though perhaps this is because Guy has a smidgen of self respect and isnt letting them rape his ass from pillar to post hourly.

Close but no cigar !!
They did not do a cover of that song, the one you are thinking of was done by Naked Eyes.
Altered Images had a monster hit with 'Happy Birthday', they also had serious chart success with "I Could Be Happy", "See Those Eyes" & "Love and Kisses".

'Andrea' was an even bigger hit than 'I Live For The Sun'.
The reason why they were mistaken for The Beach Boys was because they were organised by Murry Wilson after he got the flick from his sons' band.

Yep. I wonder what he would have thought if he was still alive today, with everyone thinking it's one of Brian's songs!
Murry could come up with catchy tunes of his own, such as his own song 'Two Step Side Step' and also collaborating with his son on 'Break Away' (under the name Reggie Dunbar). I think the funniest thing to come out of the whole Sunrays thing is that Brian grabbed Rick Henn and collaborated with him! People also mistake Jan & Dean for the Beach Boys though, possibly because Brian Wilson appears on most of the songs.
He might have had more than one hit, but i think "Jesse's Girl" by Rick Springfield counts.

May still be the only South Africa band to have a Top 40 hit in Australia.

Love the Video.

DEVO had 2 Top 10 Hits. Whip It in 1980, and Beautiful World in 1981.
Fools Gold- Stone Roses and Wonderful Life - Black are still two faves of mine.

Maybe not one hit wonders but the only songs that I am familiar with...(perhaps my own ignorance!)

Did I get that right? Early 80s Scottish band that had a huge hit that was the same name as the band?

I didn't think it wasn't right when I posted it but couldn't for the life of me think who it was.
