Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder

One of the best songs of all time: "Billy, Don't Be a Hero"

Anyone remember who made it?

Oh yeah, also: "They're Coming to Take Me Away" by Napoleon the 5th

And "Yellow River" by The Christies

I think to qualify for this thread the band has to have NOT had a hit or popular album from which the song came. Lots of bands (like The Band) had a single Top 20 hit but at least three great albums.

Believe it or not, Duane Eddy only had one hit: Rebel Rouser. None of his other songs were hits according to a local DJ here in Baltimore.

Underdogs- "LOVES GONE BAD"

"Heart feelin' sad cuz...love's gone bad" What an absolutely great song! The Underdogs actually had another "hit" with "The Man in the Glass" and I saw them perform a few times back in the day. They were a local band here in the Detroit area and performed at all the Artist Music Centers Battle of the Bands in '66 through '69.

Further, I have "Love's Gone Bad" on a Cd called Michigan Memories which includes the finest version ever of "In the Midnight Hour" done by The Wanted. Those were some fun days with truly creative, and hard driving garage bands.
