I like that one…and Brandy by Looking Glass:cool:
Ice, Ice Baby
I don’t know nor care how any of his other songs like Play That Funky Music did, that one so vastly eclipsed anything else Rob Van Winkle would ever accomplish that it’s a one hit wonder, damnit.
Oh, good one!
But what about “Ninja Rap”?! Surely that was a great accomplishment. 
Oddly enough, I watched this on youtube just the other night.
Digital Underground’s “Humpty Dance.”
The Music Machine “Talk Talk”
Very aggressive for 1966.
Suavecito–Malo. A beautiful song that should have been more popular.
Brother Louie–Stories.
Double Shot (Of My Baby’s Love)–Swingin’ Medallions.
Breakawaywas also a hit in the US.
Fastball - The Way
Not much of one–made #70, versus #8 for “They Don’t Know.”
One popular yardstick for what constitutes a one-hit wonder is that they had to have had only one single in Billboard’s Top 40. This is the rubric used by Wayne Jancik, who literally wrote the book on OHWs. If I were making the rules, I would rule out any artist who had more than one Top 40 album, which would disqualify obvious anomalies like Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead (who both appear in Jancik’s book on a technicality).
Ah yeah I misread the stats, thought it was a US Top 10. :smack:
Good one.

Lotta good ones already posted, many in my everyday random playlist. Here are my contributions:
Sanford Townsend Band - Smoke From A Distant Fire
Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime
Omar & The Howlers - Hard Times In The Land Of Plenty
Trivia: The rhythm section of Looking Glass (and the keyboard player who was later sacked) went on to form the rhythm section of power-pop-rock-whatever band Starz, of *Violation *and *Subway Terror *‘fame’ (don’t worry, most people haven’t heard of them, but they were the balls in th 70’s) with Michael Lee Smith – brother of The Pirates of Penzance actor Rex Smith.
I don’t think Starz had any hits, really, but I go out of my way to mention them … I was a big fan back then. I hyped them to all of my friends, but it didn’t seem to take.
Duke of Earl
“Out of My Head” was almost as big a hit. And “Fire Escape” got a lot of rock radio airplay.
Twofer–“Pictures of Matchstick Men,” OHW for both Status Quo and Camper Van Beethoven.
That was cool.. thanks for that.. I’d never heard them before..
“Come on down to my boat” every mothers son..
Forgot to mention Timothy, by The Buoys. Yum!
I don’t know what it placed in the charts for CvB, but I’ve never heard that on the radio (although I do have Key Lime Pie.) Whereas I’ve heard “Take the Skinheads Bowling” many times on the radio.
