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.

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.
Fmpnd,

I can't believe that I forgot "One Fine Morning" -- that's a great song!

I am also a big fan of Cold Blood. It's nice to know that there are others who appreciate Chase. I can only imagine what great work Bill Chase could have produced had he not died so young. You are incredibly lucky to have seen them live. I bet you are also a big fan of Blood, Sweat & Tears.

I forgot to mention another two of my favorites:

"Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)" by the Hombres

"Liar, Liar" by the Castaways

Jsonic: I checked three sources including a recording that I have, and they all say that "The Rapper" was by The Jaggerz not Jaggerz. It's a great song by the way.

And how about these:

"Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)" by the Swingin' Medallions

"Little Girl" by Syndicate of Sound

Long live the One Hit Wonders!
Vortex: Your first post was LOADED with good tunes. Having said that, i've got to call you on Thin Lizzy. What about "Jailbreak"??? : )

You're listing of the Easybeats made me think of the band that they became later in life i.e. Flash and the Pan. Remember "Hey, St Peter" ???

The songs i listed in my first post weren't necessarily anything that i would want to listen to ( so i "cheated" too ), but just songs that popped into my mind. Some were quite bad and it's a shame that we remember those sometimes more than the good ones : )

As far as Buscis' question about the Cowsills, weren't they the band that originally performed the song "Hair"??? By the way, this is a GREAT thread and some of the listings have really brought back some memories / great tunes.

Ohlala: Frankie? How about "Two Tribes" and "Relax". No K-Tel's for you : )

Anybody up for some "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone Loc ??? : ) Sean

PS... For some reason, i keep thinking that Norman Greenbaum did both Spirit in the Sky and Eve of Destruction. Without this thread, i wouldn't be giving Barry McGuire the credit he deserves : )

PS... Not only do The Dickies do a jammin version of the Banana Splits theme as mentioned above, they do Eve of Destruction in "hyper-drive". You should hear them do the theme song to the kiddie "robot" show called "Gigantor" too. Those guys know how to have fun. Oh, to be young again.... : )
