"Yes you did, sorry no shame to you."

...and I also mentioned that if you're from the UK it doesn't count...

As for:
"in the year twenty-five, twenty-five..."

Are we talking the original?
Didn't he/they have more hits?

...and while I'm at it, how about Doctor and The Medics with their version of "Spirit in the Sky"? The two of them still tour off the back of it...I'm not even sure if they do any other songs (bar their follow up "Burn")...

Ah...never heard of Project Pitchfork.

I wasn't sure if you were meaning something like Visages cover of it...the original was by someone called Zager I think.

andrew loog oldham orchestra - the last time is the song you're on about, one of my all time favs

alva, i'll probably download those songs when i get an internet connection back, cheers

just something to say about storm, as storm they had other hits, time to burn (which certainly charted higher than storm) and storm animal. storm themselves are actually dance legends jam and spoon, who certainly aren't one hit wonders

They even have a pretty good football song for West-Ham supporters (1.at least I think it's West Ham - Hammerheads,2. that's what some english guy said it was, so if he's lying, I am ).
Another good one is Coelocanth and malaria.

No, Zager and Evans were a genuine one-hit-wonder. Charted once, at #1 no less, and were never heard of again.

As I have said... 'twas in 1969, BTW.

They did have a record though, you just won't find it anywhere or get any of their other songs on the net.

Is the "Zager" the same one who did that disco anthem "Let's All Chant"? Or is that just coincidence...

Yeah I really wouldn't call her a one hit wonder because I hear her music on the radio alot...Saying she's a one hit wonder is say Brittany Spears is a one hit wonder..Although I can't stand their music they do have a loyal fan base
