Queensryche....... Silent Lucidity

Aldo Nova - that was a blast from the past. Fantasy was a pretty awesome song.

[Fiji Hill]

My favorite Association song--an acid rocker from the fall of 1966.

Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies

Vanna, Pick Me a Letter by David “Dr. Dave” Kolin

When I was a kid I thought it was sung by Cheech and Chong, lol.

“Got me a ticket for an aeroplane (All right!); I’m on the Wheel of Fortune game. I just love that sound. I’m in the bonus round! Hey, Vanna, pick me a letter. (Lose a turn? Hey, Pat, lose THIS!)”

[Hillary'sMoralVoid]

Sanford Townsend Band - Smoke from a Distant Fire, best kick-ass tune ever!!!!!

[eyedigress]

Aldo Nova

Fantasy..

"I got to go with “You Get What You Give” by the New Radicals

Great pick! I have their album and I really like it. It's too bad they were a one-and-done; I'm sure subsequent albums would've been good, too.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Brandy - Looking Glass

Still sticks in my head if I hear it.

Green Tambourine by The Lemon Pipers

[Burma Jones]

Smokey Robinson is not exactly a one-hit wonder. He either wrote or sang probably half of the early Motown hits - a one-man hit machine! But “Tears of a Clown” is an all-time classic, though.

[eyedigress]

Here is a new one. Brandy by Looking Glass is probably the best one to fit this thread.
That song took over in the Summer of '72.

Flash Forward. ASIA, Only time will tell

[Gil4]

Greg Kihn Band - Our Love's in Jeopardy

Weird Al's parody of that song was pretty funny (I Lost on Jeopardy.) Kihn did have one other hit - The Breakup Song (They Don't Write'em Like That Anymore), but Jeopardy was a much bigger hit.

[eyedigress]

I gave up on the “One Hit Wonder” theme when I saw Golden Earring.

I’m just throwing my faves out there. :^)

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini —— Brian Hyland

[TXBlair]

The Sundays - “Here’s Where The Story Ends”

Blast from the past! I loved The Sundays.

[eyedigress]

I will share another that may have been missed.

Gilbert O' Sullivan

Alone Again Naturally.

96 Tears by Question Mark and the Mysterians

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Dang - clicking thru the comments brought back so many memories!

Fire - Arthur Brown - One of the greatest voices in R&R.
In the Year 2525 - Zager & Evans - stupid song, but every time I see that number it pops into my head.

Here’s a few I didn’t see:

Tennessee Birdwalk - Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan
Louisiana Man - Doug Kershaw
Moulty - The Barbarians
Butter Boy - Fanny
Gold - John Stewart
