1 hit wonders

I just got done listening to "Nowhere Girl" by B-movie in my truck and came up with this thread. What would you say is your fav 1 hit wonder song? or at least one you really like a lot? I myself am still trying to think which one i like most.

Betty Davis Eyes
-Kim Carnes

Mr. Big - To Be With You

Even though I have all their albums and there are many better songs than that, the average person only knows Mr. Big for that one acoustic "campfire" song. It is a great song though, written by a sixteen year old. Who is actually the guy in my avatar (when he grew up obviously)

Off the top of my head, I'd have to say Spirit in the Sky
by Norman Greenbaum.

Or Little Green Bag by George Baker Selection

Major Tom - Peter Schilling

In the Year 2525 - Zager & Evans

oh man, there are so many. But my fave has to be 99 Red Balloons by Nena...

What surprises me, is how much people dismiss ONE HIT WONDERS, and yet, they make a huge impact on us.

I still love "What is love" from Night at the Roxbury.

Be mindful of the windshield when listening to it in your car....

Barbia Girl ~ Aqua
Thong Song ~ Sisquo
Who Let The Dogs Out ~ Baha Men

those were the first 3 to come to mind

"Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood

You were lucky to have been experienced Nena as a one-hit wonder on that side of the pond, imho.

Over here, she's never stopped producing widely-heard albums and singles, with her more recent 'retro' albums since 2002 again securing her a series of #1 and #2 positions in the German charts.

Sorry but i would have to disagree and say that "99 Luftballons" scored more than the English version, but thats my own opinion.

"Spirit In The Sky" which has been covered endlessly by one-hit wonders Norman Greenbaum, Marilyn and Gareth Gates springs to mind ....

There comming to take Me away Ha!Ha! He!He! by Napolean XIV Actually there are so many... Snoppy Vs the Red Barron by the Royal Guardsman Cherokee Nation by Linsey sombody Big bad John by Jimmy Dean just to name a few http://www.onehitwondercentral.com/
