Blast from the Past: What's your favorite "One-Hit Wonder" song/artist?
one man's opinion...

Posted on 01/19/2014 6:15:37 AM PST by ken5050

I was clicking through some links on Wikipedia last night, and stumbled across the "List of One-hit Wonders" in the United States." Amazingly, they have separate, detailed individual lists for each decade ( I've posted the links below..)I was astonished at how many there were, how many I'd liked, and many I'd pretty much forgotten; and I spent several hours on YouTube, reminiscing, and then downloading some of the tunes. So, enjoy.. if you have a favorite, opine below...

Transfusion is one of my fav songs of all time. However, Nervous Norvus (Jimmy Drake) had a top-25 hit later the same year (1956) with THIS...

“Brand New Key” was used in the film ‘Boogie Nights’. It was the first time I’d ever the song, and I glommed on to the innuendo right away.
