Purple People Eater by Sheb Wooley.

Sheb Wooley actually had careers under multiple aliases. He had the one single and was a TV & movie actor & Rodeo star as Sheb Wooley. He was a weather man, comedian and country music singer as Ben Colder. I love it when a weather man takes on a name like Ben Colder.

New Girl Now by Honeymoon Suite. Heard it on the old Miami Vice series. Nothing else by them that I know of.



Magic by Pilot came out in high school. Cheesy, but that kind of stuff was popular. For some reason the girls seemed to like this.

wow - great list @TLB
The only band that might have had more than one hit would be J Geils-
“I Must Have Got Lost” #12, “Love Stinks” #38, “Freeze Frame” #4, and one of my favorites “Looking For a Love” #39 ...were also hits, although not on the scale of “Centerfold” #1.
Freeze Frame was one of my favorites my Sr. year in HS, 1982.

Looking Glass. “Brandy”

Honestly mostly I listen to country Rock/ Blues and bluegrass Folk, some rap and pop (cause of my kids mostly)

:doh:

Not a one hit wonder. That isn't even their biggest hit.



And they had a few minors back in the 70s even.

I better clear this up before this gets out of hand and Bart has to burn an extra bowl to calm down.

I had replied to TLB’s post about J Geils being a one hit wonder. I had pointed out several hits to which @Detroitgator verbally wacked me with another of their hits. @GatorBart was just replying that he liked one of the J Geils tunes I listed.

Are we all good now?
And now...back to the tunes!

Oh SURE you weren’t. You brought out the ‘F’ word. :(

good catch on that tune too. I had forgotten about that one. :fistbump:
I think I was in 7th or 8th Grade when my sister took me to the Love Stinks concert (she worked handing out stuff for WRIF and got in free) and they played all their old stuff (musta got lost) through Sanctuary album and Love Stinks album (Come Back was on that one too).
