#6: Did you mean one hit wonder artist or song? I can’t recall the name of Debbie’s big hit, I think she won an Oscar for it. ---

> [@cucuy](#): > > #6: Did you mean one hit wonder artist or song? I can’t recall the name of Debbie’s big hit, I think she won an Oscar for it. I meant the artist, but unfortunately left the question ambiguously worded, creating a scoring hassle for our moderator. Sorry about that, Dolores. To help a bit, here’s a matching of mentioned songs/artists with the corresponding artist/song: Debbie Boone - You Light Up My Life Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight Ram Jam - Black Betty Terry Jacks - Seasons in the Sun The Knack - My Sharona David Essex - Rock On Coven - One Tin Soldier Apollo 100 - Joy Focus - Hocus Pocus Golden Earring - Radar Love C.W. McCall - Convoy Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime Mott the Hoople - All the Young Dudes Don McLean - American Pie Vicki Lawrence - The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia Clint Holmes - Playground in My Mind Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting Minnie Riperton - Loving You Flying Lizards - Money Two potential problem areas, but no-one’s matched them yet so the points may prove to be moot: The Turtles - Weren’t even close to a one-hit band, but their biggest one was “Happy Together” in case anyone puts that down “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing” - a hit for both the New Seekers (technically not a one-hit band, although nothing else they recorded was anywhere near as big) and the Hilltop Singers ---

> [@labtrash](#): > > I propose that question #6 be stricken from the record due to unclear wording (band or song title?) It was perhaps a bit unclear, but Band is the only real logical choice. How can an individual song be a “one-hit wonder”? Every song is a hit or it’s not; in short, every song that’s a hit is a “one-hit” wonder, for how can a single song have multiple hits\*? It’s got to refer to the band, so anyone who answered with a song should have that vote counted for the band. \*Yes, yes, there are cover versions blah blah blah, but incidents of that are pretty rare, while one-hit wonder bands aren’t… ---

I know a lot of the s_ongs_ that are “one hit wonders” from **42fish’s** list (post #52) above, but I had no idea who or what band sang / performed them. I will, however, accept either ruling on this - it’s just a game, after all. My request was 99% in jest. ---
