Just Damn! Are you finished Mojo? Lol - you did good. Now that I've cropped my list of duplicate One Hit Wonders, I'm left with ... uh .... uh .... oh, here's one you missed (I hope):

The Little Black Egg
~ The Nightcrawlers ~



The Nightcrawlers were formed in Daytona Beach, FL, in the mid-'60s and along with the Birdwatchers and We the People, were one of the most regionally popular Florida rock groups of that era. They had a small hit, "The Little Black Egg," in the 1967 that's remembered for its cutesy folk-rock-cum-garage sound and its enigmatic lyrics. Although it only reached number 85 on the national charts, it made more of an impact than that low placing might reflect, since it was a regional hit in various parts of the country after it was recorded in 1965. Due to poor distribution it only made the national charts upon its third issue. The Nightcrawlers did a few more singles with their original lineup, which disbanded in mid-1966 with enough material for one LP on Kapp Records.

Principal songwriter Charlie Conlon did a couple of singles as leader of a different band called Conlon and the Nightcrawlers. Conlon's original material showed a Byrds/Beau Brummels influence in the folky guitar riffs, minor melodies, and introspective lyrics, but weren't nearly as skilled or developed as those groups were. Conlon left the band in spring 1966 and the Nightcrawlers broke up a few months later, although two of the members formed a different lineup of the Nightcrawlers that did one more single for Kapp, "My Butterfly." That 45 was Who-lite, not very similar to the old garage-folk-rock Nightcrawlers and in spite of that, was their best song other than "The Little Black Egg." They never recorded after 1967, but different lineups with the Nightcrawlers name continued to perform until 1970 on the strength of "Little Black Egg" ...
... the first guitar lick the ole' Drumbo Klown ever learned.

" What About Me ". The group name always eludes me, but the the last words are..
" ...all the world's gone home. Nobodys been saved, and I'm feeling cold and alone. I guess I'm lucky, I've smiled a lot- but sometimes I wish for more than I've got...what about me?
It isn't fair, I don't have enough now I want my share, can't you see, I want to live, but you just take more than you give..."
Beautiful song.
