FINALLY!
Someone talking about one-hit wonders who doesn't think that all music started in 1995

How about Andrew Gold, the Babys, the Bells, Carl Carlton, JoBoxers, Mouth and McNeal, Motherlode, Mungo Jerry, Paper Lace, Smith, the Sanford-Townsend Band, The Stampeders, Stealer's Wheel, The Tee-Set.....
(Yes, I *did* just take a quick run through my iPod, how could you tell?

Lonely Boy - Andrew Gold (I sense I have been beaten here - This guy also did the Golden Girls theme in the 80s)

My Baby Loves Lovin' - White Plains

Popcorn - Hot Butter - One of the first, uh, electronic instrumentals of the era that wasn't just crap?

Kung-Fu Fighting - Carl Douglass (This is to make up for getting Popcorn stuck in your head)

All of these are from before I was born. That's kind of strange to think about.

SuzzyQ · 12-30-2009, 09:45 AM

Badfinger was NOT a One Hit Wonder.

Hubby and I will add to the list from our IPODs...

All though they had a couple of hits 10CC had this great song:

One of the best songs from the 60s:

The 70s:

I didn't mean absolutely literally, since Badfinger had a few other lesser know hits, such as:

Trivia: Pete Ham of Badfinger wrote "Without You", made famous by Harry Nilsson:

Wow! You're good...I didn't know that. One of the early cover bands I played guitar in had a drummer who rarely sang, but who had a raspy voice like Rod Stewart, and he turned me on to the Stories version of the song.

I remember Hot Chocolate most for "You Sexy Thing":

Okay one more, Minnie Riperton:

Trivia: The late Minnie Riperton's daughter is Maya Rudolf who used to be a cast member of Saturday Night Live:

One more before I have to go shoot my last photo session of the decade...

Technically not a one-hit band, but this one song dwarfed all of their others:

One of their more obscure hits:

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 12-30-2009, 12:48 PM

Last one for me, until tonight...

I have an older sister whose collection of 45's I inherited when she left home, and this thread made me remember a one-hit band from the 60's called "People":

Thanks for sharing all.

Keep those one hit wonders coming...

You *were* beaten on that one

And not only wouldn't I have any idea what the Golden Girls theme was - I don't think that could count as a song

Interesting about that one. That *was* the only major hit for White Plains. But White Plains didn't have much claim to being a hit band; it was really a backing band for Tony Burrows, a very talented studio musician - who had similar hits under different names during the same era: Edison Lighthouse (Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes), The Pipkins (Gimme Dat Ding), The Brotherhood of Man (United We Stand), First Class (Beach Baby). So White Plains WAS a one hit wonder - but Tony Burrows was one of the biggest pop stars of the era who no one ever knew.

Well, a notable instrumental, but there were lots of others that preceeded it that were terrific...check out the Ventures from the 60s

Their lead singer, Eric Carmen, went on to a great solo career as well.
