Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder

"Fantasy" by Aldo Nova. Makes me think of roller rinks.

Reubent - also the 80's version by Doctor and the Medics. I like the original better though!

Have to add "Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider, a band that used to feature Tom Cochrane.

Amandarae + Iseekheils - Talk Talk also had a minor hit in "Turning Japanese". You can't POSSIBLY call these guys a one-hit wonder ; )

"Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese, I Really Think SO!" On a few '80s comps, I'm sure.

That's gotta be splitting hairs!

Ben - you're absolutely right. The B-Side of "Turning Japanese" in the US was a SONG called "Talk Talk". Talk about a mixup!!! My mind is not what it used to be, must have been those Vapors.

So maybe the Vapors qualify ; ) LOL

Did Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs also do a version of "Mr. Big Stuff"? (am I thinking right, it's the Motown soul song with the "Whod'ya-whod'ya-whod'ya think you are?" refrain) There could be several versions... it's before my time. I heard it on the radio the other day and listened past the refrain for the first time, and realized what a cool tune it was.

Yeah, Mr. Big Stuff was Jean Knight - just looked it up on allmusic.com. It was her only top-ten hit, according to the bio. Sam the Sham - the DJ announced that name after the song, but had played "Little Red Riding Hood" just before. Another "almost" one-hit wonder, Sam the Sham also did Wooly Bully". Man, I hate both of those songs!
