Wrong thread, you need to transfer this to the Pink Floyd thread and bring whatever you put over there over here. I'll wait.

Oops ...

"Afternoon Delight" by Starland Local Band

In the summer of '76 that song was on constantly.

It was also in several porn films...….or so I'm told.

Comfortably Numb

For some reason I posted this in both threads...

You really like it, huh? Considering what you've been dealing with, I would too.

This song came out when one of my stations was Top 40 and I always thought his vocal was the front runner on Grunge.

This was a hit? I don't remember ever hearing it.

You actually like that song?

Golden Earring also had Twilight Zone, which may have been an even bigger hit.

Fantastic song. Probably the best 1-hitter on the thread

It was a hit, regardless. But if you get past the gimmick somehow, it’s actually a great pop song. It’s just hard to get past the gimmick.

It’s not like I’m repping “I Missed the Bus” over here or anything.

I prefer Black Betty, and the reason I posted this one was to point out that their other hit wasn't their only hit. lol

I spent 25 years in radio and would be remiss if I did not post this. I never get tired of this song.

No way.

Great song, but no way is it the best #1 hit mentioned in this thread.

 

[Trouty]

Key Largo

My wife loved "Key Largo" and when we went to the Keys we stopped by there and stayed at the Marriott. They had this great outdoor bar and it was pretty crowded, mostly with locals as I was to find out, and I ordered us two Pina Coladas and went over to the juke box and played "Key Largo" and the song attached, her other fav at the time. I came back and when "Key Largo" started playing, we smiled and I looked pretty smug thinking 'Oh yeah, the kid scores, gonna be some yeehawing tonight' and as I looked around, the locals were staring at me as if I had insulted their children. Never thought about people in Key Largo hating "Key Largo" and I am not sure all do but I found some that did. And then the other song played and I had the feeling they were discussing just how much the bounty on me should be.



Most of the locals were guys and I felt as if I should explain myself with "hey, my knuckles are just as hairy as yours, well maybe not yours but most of you, and I am a bona fide Rocker and borderline Metal Head. I am playing these for my wife and drinking these sissy drinks because I am laying the groundwork for some exceptional bumpin' uglies and yeehawing later on". But I didn't, I just swished out of that bar with better things on my mind.

Who can forget the immortal, "Pass the Dutchie" by Musical Youth?

I don't know what the number 1, one hit wonder is, but for my money, it is "Come on Eileen". Other than, perhaps, "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" or "Deliverance", it is the best use of overalls on film.

 

[Runwildboys]

No way.

Great song, but no way is it the best #1 hit mentioned in this thread.

Nor is it a one hit wonder.
