Favourite One-Hit Wonders

[Big_Dogg85]

For those that may not necessarily know... a one-hit wonder is a band that became famous through one song and generally fell back into mediocrity after the song's popularity went it's course.

I ask you people: what is your favourite one-hit wonder?

I'll start and since I'm currently on a big Canadian band binge I'll choose a song by a Toronto band named Len with their song "Steal My Sunshine": a very good song to lead into summer with great beat, rhythm and flow.

Not to mention, some creepy-ass incestuous undertones. These two are brother and sister, ladies and gents 😉

But it's true, it's wicked catchy.

Oh definitely, the music video doesn't help their cause much... yet I know how close family can be to some people, myself included, so while it is unsettling, I'm choosing to see it as they both care heavily about family.

I still stand with the catchiness of the song, thanks! 😛

I know that they're not real but I had to bring up one of my all time favorite movies about a fake one Hit Oneders group!

Come On Eileen. The conversation ends there.

One of my favorites is Brandy, by Looking Glass. Released in 1974 if memory serves, they quickly sank into obscurity.

Another. I saw Sugarloaf live around 1974-75 at The Waterhole in the Kansas City area. Pretty good show really, but they never made it big.
