What is your favorite "One Hit Wonder" song?

[Kim&Chris]

My sister bought a CD of one-hit wonders from the 60's and 70's and it brought back some funny (and sweet) memories.

Ahhh, those bubblegum hits!

Some of my personal favorites:

Beach Baby by First Class
Brandy by the Looking Glass
Heaven Must be Missing an Angel by Tavares
Heartbeat by the DeFranco Family.

Care to share some of your favorites????
