Katrina is still around and singing. Saw her on TV a couple weeks ago. Great song, “Walking on Sunshine”.
let’s toss in “Spirit in the Sky” and “Bang-A-Gong” (T-Rex) for one hit wonders that we all love to hear and sing.
In fact, let’s go back to “Tequila” (The Champs), “Kansas City” (Wilbur Harrison?), “Little Bitty Pretty One (Thurston Harrison?), “Dominique” (hated it), “Sea of Love” (Phil Phillips) and other one hit wonders that still are played. Oh, don’t forget “Sukiyaki”. A really beautiful song.
Now, all together, sing them for the rest of the night.
Then start tomorrow with “Does your bubblegun stick on the bedpost over night” by Lonny Donnegan/Donnigan. That will teach you!
“Next versus, worse than the first”.
Aaaah,”Sea of Love”-—— a terrific song and lots of memories here.

Dominique is just about the weirdest one-hit wonder of them all. Why American record buyers bought enough copies of a French-language ballad about Domingo Félix de Guzmán, a medieval Spanish diplomat, evangelist and crusader to send it to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks is baffling.
