Seems like a boring news day,What's Your Favorite One-hit Wonder Song?
Here's to You--Hamilton Camp (1968)
Dr. Demento was all into “Root Boy Slim”
Saw him live a few times.
In the meantime I just stumbled onto “Blackfoot”
Haven’t listened to this since I was 18 and pounding down Bud’s while running from the cops.

Molly Hatchet is next up.
“I remember when it was a newie—played over Boss Radio 93 KHJ.”

Probably not too many of us that can recall the days of the “Boss jocks” and “Boss Radio”! Great times.
Smashed! Blocked!--John's Children
“Honey”
Bobby Goldsboro
Salty Dog - Lonesome Fool

Sam and Dave had two #1 hits:
Soul Man
Hold On, I’m Comin’
My Girl Sloopy--The Vibrations (1964)
'Effin' Awesome!
Anyone could come up with Tiny Tim’s “Tiptoe Through The Tulips”, but not as many know he covered “I Got You, Babe” (even tho it wsn’t a hit)
“I Got You Babe”

I remember hearing that when I came back from Germany in 1985. Heard it played in the clubs on Ft. Lewis.
Great Song,Bobby Goldsboro had more than one.
“Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz The Girl From Ipanema 1964”

One my my faves. I like this vid of Astrud singing it more, tho.

I love Shuggie! Inspiration Information is my favorite!
I believe Good Time Charlie’s got the Blues was Danny O’Keefe’s only hit single. I’ve always loved it.
He did Cars as well. Gary Wright lives in comfort in Palos Verdes estates in California. He was paid well.
