Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Song

[RodeoJake]

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.

Jeanie C Riley had songs in the Country top 40 after Harper Valley PTA. She disappeared from the country charts in the early 70s when she went strictly gospel.

The curtain's blowing, but the window isn't open. (Sorry, I had to answer the question at the top of the picture.)

And then there was this, a one hitter with Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham helping out.

Just listened to that yesterday. Excellent song! Are John, Al, or Rod related?

I guess they just expect the Grand Poobah of the Post Jackers Guild to be lenient.

Lol, the Nuges " Love Jacker" song immediately blasted into my train of thought & completely derailed it after reading yer' post

Come On Eileen.

I’d have to think long and hard but when I first saw this thread, this was the first song that immediately popped in my head. Nice choice.

I don't know but I was a huge Al Stewart fan. And Rod for Every Picture Tells a Story, what a great album.

Goat one-hit wonder, imo. A masterpiece. And what ever happened to him?? He's still popular in Korea, no?

I couldn't believe what I was watching when I first saw this, for the 30-40th time, back when it was released. I still cant wrap my head around it. It's perfection.
