Hold On and Mmmm-bop until Closing Time

Union Hall is hosting a sing-along of 90's One Hit Wonders, and I'm really, really hoping that everyone shows up wearing an actual "Ring Pop" and bring a working Tamagochi.  Saturday, at 10 p.m.  OOH!  You could bring your Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper full of printed lyrics.  That'd totally be authentic, right?

These are one-hit wonders, though, so don't expect to extrapolate on your Backstreet Boys versus N*SYNC arguments at this event.  You won't be able to point to any of the videos, there, as evidence.  These are strictly one-hit wonders.  They promise you that you'll be able to sing along with Vanilla Ice, Deee-Lite, Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch, Hanson, Oasis, Chumbawumba, Harvey Danger, Lou Bega, Marcy Playground, Tag Team, The Divinyls, Blind Melon, Duncan Sheik, Mark Morrison, New Radicals, Semisonic, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Haddaway, Deep Blue Something, Right Said Fred, and of, course, you'll do the Macarena.

So, here's my question for you, commenters:  What's the greatest one-hit-wonder of the 90's.  I took an informal survey at my house, and the two people who live here were sharply divided.  My husband insists that Hanson is the only acceptable answer.  I remember seeing Hanson at the height their Mmm-Bop reign-of-terror, and thinking to myself, 'Jesus!  Those are the three ugliest little girls I've ever seen!"  Then, they sorta became hot.

My choice?  You Can't Play With My Yo-Yo.  By, um, "Yo-Yo," actually.  Argue with me in the comments, if you must.
