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?

"Dancing in the Moonlight" by King Harvest. It is just such a slick POP song!

For clarity, Bands mentioned above that are not one hit:

Mott the Hoople, Argent, Thin Lizzy, Black Oak Arkansas, T-Rex. Technically, Billy Thorpe had another hit, "In My Room". And to pick nits, one of the guys from Free went to the band Bad Company.

Great list start.
