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.

Ozfly, Al Kooper wrote This Diamond Ring, he played on Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited, formed The Blues Project and the original (and best) Blood, Sweat and Tears, and Super Session with Mike Bloomfield. The one hit wonder of This Diamond Ring was performed by Gary Lewis and The Playboys. Gary Lewis is the son of Jerry Lewis.

Other one hit wonders:
Fire—The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (they put on an amazing live show)
Dominique— The Singing Nun (I hated that song)
Eve of Destruction—Barry McGuire
Good Morning Britain—Aztec Camera
The Way—Fastball
Crazy—Icehouse (they had lots of hits in Austraila, but only one here)
Are You Ready-Pacific Gas and Electric-the long version
Signs-Five Man Electrical Band-Tesla did a later version, but I think the Electrical version is much better
Hot Smoke and Sasafrass-The Bubble Puppy-garage band extraordinare
Reflections of My Life-The Marmalade-serious, sad pop
Where Evil Grows-The Poppy Family
"Band Of Gold" Freda Paine

I hate nit pickin' BUT Pilot was the pre-Alan Parsons Project guys w/o Alan. In fact these are the same guys that backed up Kate Bush.

Another neat note: Ed Stasium engineered the Pilot album. This is one guy to really check out. He's done hundreds (if not a few thousand albums) including the 1st Talking Heads, all the first era Ramones albums, the Mick Jagger solo album, the grammy winning Glady's Knight and the Pips records "Midnight Train To Georgia" and "Imagination", and, oh yeah, "Band Of Gold" by Freda Paine! And many, many, many more. I miss you Ed and best of luck.
