Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Song

[Runwildboys]

 

[Trouty]

Love this album brutha!
A cloaking robe of elvin kind hangs in my wardrobe, behind
All those things that mother said were proper for a boy

Dood!!!

"Sixteen books on magic spells, stacked below the cloak of elves"

My man!

How about a creepy one?

 

[BigStar]

I still find myself humming the refrain from time to time.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

My all-time one-hit wonder. This melody has influenced current indie bands such as MGMT. There's a lot of world-music melody in this diddy

Not a one-hit wonder by any means Trouty…

"Who Can It Be Now" was a #1 hit
"Overkill" got up to #3
"It's a Mistake" got up to #6

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Folks have deviated off the path of what a one-hit wonder group/singer actually is. LOL!

Just let me have it, Win

Here are several #1 hits from the 60's where the singer/group never had a top-40 hit again:

"Teen Angel"
"Alley Oop"
"Mr Custer"
"Telstar"
"Sukiyaki"
"Dominique"
"Eve of Destruction"
"Winchester Cathedral"
"Judy in Disguise"
"Love is Blue"
"Harper Valley PTA"
"In the Year 2525"
"Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye"

"Dominique" is probably the most unlikely song to hit #1 out of all of these... Sung by a Belgian nun.

How about Electric Avenue? I know I can't name another Eddy Grant song. Indiana's Wants Me is another that comes to mind.

Under his name yeah... Had a minor hit in the 60's as part of a group.

Harper Valley PTA might be the winner. That song was huge and she just fell off the map after that. Course when Tom T. Hall is writing your songs for you, you're bound to have some success.

I watched that movie a few weeks ago.
Barbara Eden is so HOT.

It is a great song.
