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.

Paul Mauriat "Love is Blue" This song was on every five minutes in '68 and was an instrumental. It was the biggest song of the year. I never really got it and still don't.
I had The Rapper as a 45 and I thought it was just Jaggerz not The Jaggerz that did it. I was right and must now correct my previous correction.
Shocking Blue "Venus"

The Tee Set "Ma Belle Ami"

Terry Jacks "Seasons in the Sun"

Bobby Goldsboro " Honey"

Little Eva "Locomotion"

Strawberry Alarm Clock "Incense and Peppermints"

Sgt. Barry Sadler "Ballad of the Green Berets"

Scott McKenzie "If You're Going to San Francisco"

B. J. Thomas "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head"

Charlie daniels Band "Devil Went Down to Georgia"

Also Golden Earring had a 2nd hit many years after Radar Love with Bullet Hits the Bone so they should be excluded.
The Cowsills were a family group. The TV show The Partridge Family was based on them. How bout Jeanie C. Riley and her hit "Harper Valley PTA"? There was a movie based on it with Barbara Eden. There was also a movie based on " Ode to Billy Joe" with Robbie Benson. How bout any other cheesey movies based on songs. I think Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler" was a movie too. Slight correction the song The Rapper was by The Jaggerz not The Jags.
The 45 of The Rapper lists the group as Jaggerz as does the onehitwonder website. I know that Love is Blue had words, but the song that was a #1 hit for Paul Mauriat was an instrumental. How about The Royal Guardsmen with "Snoopy vs. The Red Baron" and "Snoopy's Christmas". 1910 Fruitgum Co. "Simple Simon" Ohio Express "Yummy Yummy Yummy I Got Love in My Tummy". Coven "One Tin Soldier" .
Sorry Golden Earring had a huge hit with Radar Love so Twilight Zone can't be included as a one-hit wonder.
