What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's?

Many on Audiogon agree the 1970's was the best decade for popular music. Whether it was the quality of songwriting or the diversity of music. The decade also produced many unforgettable 1 hit wonders. My personal favorite is Afternoon Delight by Starland Vocal Band, what's yours?

"Feelings" - Morris Alpert, a Brazilian. The words are banal but there is a certain melancoly yearning in the song I couldn't put my finger on when I first heard it. Then there was that slight accent of Alpert, didn't know at the time he was Brazilian. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea (why do I feel that is an understatement?) but probably the most performed song by different artists of any pop song of the 70's and that has to count for something although I'm not exactly sure what other than mointo carros for Mr. Alpert.

Innovative disco, before the "disco sucks".
Plus, the lyrics speak more today than they di back then.
