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?

Oh yeah? How about "Stay awhile" by the Belles? It either moves you or creeps you out. Great Halloween tune.

Iron Butterfly was 1968. I also wouldn't describe Mott the Hoople as a one hit wonder. Prior the their alliance with David Bowie they had released 4 albums, of which 2 are quite good, and were considered one of the great live acts of the period. Dylan meets early heavy metal. You should also remember Mick Ralphs went on the form Bad Company.

Ozz, Inna Gadda Da Vidi was 60's. I saw Iron Butterfly when the song was a hit.
Stuck in the Middle with You was really Gerry Rafferty, he had a string of hits.

What was the hit by 'Spiral Starecase'?
(Pretty sure that was 70's but maybe it was 60's also).
