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?

Someone mentioned, "Mexican Radio" / Wall of VooDoo, think that one was from the 80's too...

Good thread, as I'm reading the entries, I'm recalling all of these tunes in my head and remember nearly all of them...

How about, "Billy don't be a hero" to add another one...

Jdoris-You make a very strong case. Geronimo Cadillac peaked at #37-1972 and Carolina in the Pines #21-1975.

Thanks, Dayglow. I think my older sister got me a demo copy from WVBR, the Cornell Student Radio station.

"Oh, Lord, take meback . . . "
