What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's?


Many on Audiogon agree the 1970's was the best decade for popular music. Whether it was the quality of songwriting or the diversity of music. The decade also produced many unforgettable 1 hit wonders. My personal favorite is Afternoon Delight by Starland Vocal Band, what's yours?

Ozz, Inna Gadda Da Vidi was 60's. I saw Iron Butterfly when the song was a hit.
Stuck in the Middle with You was really Gerry Rafferty, he had a string of hits.

What was the hit by 'Spiral Starecase'?
(Pretty sure that was 70's but maybe it was 60's also).
You know, reading and being reminded of some of these songs, I'm not sure why we are nostaglic. :)
Little switch to the soul/disco side:
first, Disco Inferno by the Trampps- I think the lead singer went to prison for a while after he pistol whipped his girlfriend on Valentine's Day;
and...
Shuggie Otis, covered by the Bros Johnson:
Strawberry Letter #23- classic soul. Doesn't get any better than that.
Dayglow- fair enough. The only song from the Trampps that hit my radar was the Inferno song. As to Bros Johnson, Strawberry Letter really does it for me.
