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?

On a side note God bless Glen Campbell in his battle with Alzheimers that he went public with today. Rinestone cowboy was an iconic pop 70s hit.

The Knack are not a 1 hit wonder. Good Girls Don't hit #11 and Baby Talks Dirty was a top 40 hit. In 1991 Rocket O' Love was a minor hit with some radio play. BTW it's a great song with a killer(woman)video. Starbuck-Moonlight Feels Right has not been mentioned a yacht-rock classic. Great posts-Beach Baby, How Long, Smoke From a Distant Fire and Hocus Pocus true 1 hit wonders.

Bugles-Video killed the radio star.A true one hit wonder.
I agree also that quite a few artists' being mentioned were not really one hit one'ders.
