Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder


What was your favorite one hit wonder song, and who performed it? You can name one or a few.

I loved (and still do) "Voices Carry" performed by Till Tuesday.

C'mon. Put on your thinking caps.

Since we're fessing up, I'll have to mention Sam the Sham's other "hit":
"Don't Fool With Fu Man Chu".
Vortex: Didn't I see you at peace-stock walking around in a purple haze?
More vintage psychedelia: "Pretty Ballerina" - The Left Banke
Polk Salad Annie - Tony Joe White ("everybody said it was a shame, that your Mama's been workin' on the chain gang"...)
Louie, Louie - Kingsmen (Name of our neighborhood gang)
Louie, Lou-I - Stories
I'll Keep Holding On - Simply Red (one of the few songs I push the "repeat" button for...)
JRD351: "And if you've warped your life trying to reach your goal, you'll get a lot more cash with a little bit of soul..."
El Debarge - Rythm Of The Night
-Can't think about this song without a "Miami Vice" association. A great little tune!
Amandarae: You're probably right. I usually double check these things but my collection is currently boxed and I was too lazy to verify it on Amazon. Really love that f***ing song. Reminds me how passionate I was in the teens (to the detriment of more practical pursuits). This is not to say that I was a teen when this song came out (turned 13 in 1966), but the soul of the song evokes that era.
Makes me weep at present the state of pop music.
Well, if we must keep this going...
Itchycoo Park -Small Faces (Small Faces, sans Rod Stuart, had another hit?)
Mwilson: If you hate Sam-the-Sham, you were NEVER a Chicago greaser in the 60's.
Long hair, black leather coats, baggy greys, combat boots and, oh my, "sweet little 16 on Friday nights"!
Sold-my-soul for rock 'n roll -Ahooooooooooooooooooo
