Which depresses me. How could "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" and "Pasadena" not make the charts?

Yellow Snow hit #86 on the Billboard top 100 in '74. Not sure if that counts? A couple other songs making fun of disco got a little air time.

He was extremely popular in Germany and and other parts of Europe. Of course, his lyrics had a lot to do with not catching on with the mainstream, which is just as well.

I'm okay with being an elitist about him, then. :)

I forgot one of my favorite one-hit wonders, never mind her origins:

Cannonball - The Breeders - YouTube
 
If only Taylor Swift & Justin Bieber could have been a one-hit wonders....

Can't believe nobody's mentioned American Pie by Don McLean. Maybe I'm just showing my age.

Or the Pina Colada guy. I've thought of them both, but I thought we were only listing one-hit wonders that we enjoy...and I ******* hate both of those songs.

What's your favorite one-hit wonder song, from any era? Feel free to provide links, if desired.

I have some of their other albums, but I really enjoy The Toadies' "Possum Kingdom": The Toadies - Possum Kingdom - YouTube

Holy crap, I'd never seen Mungo Jerry's facial hair: Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime ORIGINAL 1970 - YouTube

Pronounced with an "umpty": Digital Undergound "Humpty Dance" - YouTube

The fact that you know Humpty Dance makes you the best woman ever Angie. And I like my oatmeal lumpy.

You are awesome. I have had lyrics from Humpty Dance as my FB status on at least three different occasions. Just because it's the freaking ****!

If even one of those was "In the 69 my humpty nose will tickle your rear", you are marrying material.

HAHA - I haven't made that my status just because my grandmother is on my friends list, but that's maybe the best lyric in the entire song. Or "I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom."
