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.

Don't think I saw Surfin' Bird by the Trashmen mentioned here. A record a friend of mine bought just so he could destroy it with a sledgehammer.

They don't count, I'm afraid. How about David Ruffin's "What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted"? A great song, but I don't think he ever had another hit.

Heard them years ago at the Filmore East, the poor lead singer's monitor wasn't working well and he sang flat the whole set. Build Me Up Buttercup enjoyed a revival a few years back when it was featured in There's Something About Mary, that brought it back into my head..
