Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder

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.

Did anyone mention 'For your Love' by the Yardbirds?

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.... : )
