Good list so far.  I would add:

Suavecito-Malo

Venus-Shocking Blue

Tubthumping-Chumbawamba

Israelites-Desmond Dekker
I like a lot of the songs listed above.  In many cases a particular song is heavily identified with a group or individual and is clearly their biggest hit.  But, does that make that song a one-hit wonder if the group or individual had other songs that were moderately popular?  I really like the suggestion of "Devil with a Blue Dress On," and Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels are not that famous, but, if I mention that they did "Sock it to Me, Baby," how many of you would also recognize that song?
As long as you don't count hits from members of the band, my all time favorite anthem is:

Mott the Hoople--"All the Young Dudes"
