Disco Duck, by Rick Dees I think he's called. Disco, disco duuuuuuck. It strikes the listener with amazement when he's informed this was actually a big hit back in the seventies.

Brittany Spears? Wham UK? You people are too young. I'm sorry to be the one to do this, but you must all, right now, confront the immense cultural horror that was the year 1974. It's hits, offered from my ever-scarred memory, starting with the one-hit wonders and moving on to more established acts:
"Seasons in the Sun" - Terry Jacks
"The Night Chicago Died" - Paper Lace
"Billy, Don't Be a Hero" - Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods
"Run Joey Run" - David Geddes
"Hooked on a Feeling" - Blue Suede, I think
"Longfellow Serenade" (bad even by Neil Diamond standards)
"Having My Baby" - Paul Anka
"I'm Leaving It All Up To You" - Donny and Marie
"Sunshine On My Sholder" - John Denver
"My Melody of Love" - Bobby Vinton (you've probably never heard of it. Lucky you. Vinton's basically a lounge singer, and some of the lyrics were in Polish. "nuff said.)
Not one, but TWO Helen Reddy songs: "Angie Baby" and "You and Me Against the World"
Not one, not two, but THREE "novelty" hits:
"Monster Mash" - Bobby "Boris" Pickett and his Crypt-Kicker 5
"The Streak" - Ray Stevens (for the historically or culturally deprived, "streaking" was the 70s fad of running through a public event naked, which reached it's high water-mark when someone streaked at either the 74 or 75 Oscars)
"The Lord's Prayer" - Sister Janet Mead (I'm not making that up)
Tremble, mortals! And yet, for all of that, my own pick is the execreble (all together now): "She ran calling Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiildfire..."

Dark Lady, Cher
Annie's Song, John Denver
Hooked on a Feeling, Blue Suede
Rock the Boat, The Hues Corporation
Rock me Gently, Andy Kim
I Honestly Love You, Olivia Newton John
Then Came You, Dionne Warwicke

These were ALL # 1 songs in the US.
