What are some of your favorite 'One hit wonders'? You know the one by singers/bands who had a monster hit but went into oblivion after. Could be from any decade of music.

Here's a few of mine that come into my mind :

Baby It's You by Smith
Play that Funky Music by Wild Cherry
Afternoon Delight by Starland Vocal Band
Turn the Beat Around by Vicki Sue Robinson
Get Here by Oleta Adams
