Best One Hit Wonders of the `60's and `70's(and some of the worst ones too)  (By Indierocker (60) on 08/23/2006)

Forget about VH1 and crappy one-hit-wonders like that Macarena thing and the Ba-ha mens "Who Let the dogs out". I say Who cares! here's a list of some of the greatest one hit wonders from the 1960's and 1970's. these are one-hit-wonders based on U.S chart appearances in the top 40. some one hit wonders such as Shocking Blue had several hits in Europe, but only one international hit, Venus which was their only U.S top 40 charting to #1 in February 1970. here is a site which may be of interest: http://www.bayarearadio.org/audio/kya/index.shtml 5 = AWESOME
