One hit wonders

And now back to the One Hit Wonders...Freida Paine, Band of Gold (I love that song).

 

These come to mind:-

Nashville Teens - - - -Tobacco Road
Tornadoes- - - - - -- Telstar
Big Dee Irwin - - - - - -Swinging on a Star
Johnny Cymbal- - - - -Mr Bass Man.

 

Yow! I haven't heard the name Bubble Puppy in 30+ years!
That song was a big hit in the Houston area about '68 or '69.
Remember "Slip inside This House" by The 13th Floor Elevators?

 

Out of his what???

Oh, hat.

Sorry.

 

I used to listen to Radio Luxembourg in the sixties and seventies. Radio Caroline too, if memory serves.

Not Radio one anyway... Gawd that was awful

 

....I wouldn't dream of it!



He!, heh! I know someone that LOVES dat 'Mr. Bass Man' - But then again he is a Mental Patient!



'Lemon Tree Very Pretty'
'If I had a Hammer'

...(Trini Lopez)

(Well, more of two hit wonder, I suppose )

 

Mungo Jerry...In the Summertime.

Shocking Blue...Venus.

 

I found it - Don't Mess With My Toot-Toot by Rockin Sydney Que Pasa!

 

God I'm young. I've only heard of a couple of the songs (I love Brandy by Looking Glass)

Blue Monday - Orgy
I don't know whether this would count as a one-hit wonder, since the song was orignally done by NewOrder.
