Oh wait - "Green-Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf!

That's what my first thought was! I love me some Sugarloaf, all of their albums were really good.

When this came out, my girlfriend/eventual wife couldn't figure out why I liked this so much...Dutch rock rules!

Not sure this was a one hit wonder or not but it's the only song of theirs I ever remember making it on the charts.

"We Ain't Got Nothing Yet" by Blues Magoos

Easybeats' FRIDAY ON MY MIND...

Classic song & maybe their only hit in the US but they had a bucket load down here in Australia!

So many to choose from but this one stands out, also from the Valley Girl soundtrack:

Well, this may well be my favorite.

Daddy Cool had some airplay in L.A. with Eagle Rock in '71--saw them twice then--surprised they didn't chart that well here--still one of my all time favorite bands--Hi Honey Ho!

Stan Ridgway is still going strong though, and his solo work is terrific! Wee bit more than a "one hit wonder" I think.

And it was big hit here, too, Still plays on some radio stations every now and then. One of those songs that survive the time.

But was it an actual hit?

This is a good question for several of these songs!

Well, having been a former Cryptkicker and taken a whirlwind tour as keyboardist for Bobby Pickett, I'd have to go with Monster Mash, a true one-hit wonder. Reportedly, Leon Russell played piano on the original recording.

This song may be the most well known of any one hit wonder. It's on kid's records, etc. Everybody knows it!

I really have no idea. I was just trying to find something newer then the same-old, same-old from the 60's.
