Music enthusiasts who prefer one-hit wonders over frequently-played radio hits can smile now National One-Hit Wonder Day is here.

Ahhhhhhhb....sorry ..you are correct ..it is a one hit wonder...
Still the most smug little song...oh..look at me ..I want to scr*w in the afternoon... aren’t I hip and sexy?

I couldn’t name just one — this isn’t a new phenomenon, and I’m gettin’ old. Plus my parents’ records were (and still are) around here, so I grew up hearing those as well.
Also it can be a judgment call — e.g., The Easybeats hit with “Friday on My Mind”, but cowriter and band member George Young was the older brother of Malcolm and Angus of AC/DC and wound up producing a number of their albums.
Also, do the hits have to have been #1? :^)

“All Right Now” as I read your comment!
