Seems like a boring news day,What's Your Favorite One-hit Wonder Song?
Another one for ya.
Producer comes up with the idea of having a hot babe half-sing & moan her way through a version of the Trogg’s “Wild Thing”. It worked sure enough, it was a 1974 one hit wonder!
“Wild Thing” by Fancy

The Wild Game by Chris Isaak
Beach Boys recorded Seasons In The Sun and The Kingston Trio did a version as well.

I did not know that. Thank you for that interesting tidbit.

Everything else he did was humdrum. The St. Paul Suite isn't terrible, but it's not "great", even with the Dargason jig at the end.
Good song.
Terry Jacks Seasons in the Sun is a nice and obscure choice.
I prefer Mungo Jerry-In the Summertime.
Smokey Places is one of my all-time faves.
Not a big hit, but my favorite Debbie Boone song:

Be Ye Glad by Debby Boone
Starry starry night. If I recall by Don McLean. https://youtu.be/AVprz0nm0Y4
Every time I here that song it reminds me of a class in High School;)
That would have to be mine too!
Incense and Peppermints - Strawberry Alarm Clock
“Starry starry night. If I recall by Don McLean”
==
aka “Vincent”.
Time - The Chambers Brothers
Definitely NOT a one hit wonder, though he did not have lots of hits.
Probably his most played song, including instrumentals and ‘covers’ by others, is “Vincent”.
