The song isn't "clouds in my coffee", it's "You're So Vain", and she's hardly an OHW - here are a few of hers:
That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be
Anticipation
You're So Vain
Mockingbird (with James Taylor)
Haven't Got Time For The Pain
Nobody Does It Better
You Belong To Me
Jesse
havent got time for the pain

Wooly Bully - ? and the Myseterians
They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Ha - Napoleon XIV
Wooly Bully was Sam the Sham and the Pharohs. They had another hit, even bigger, "Little Red Riding Hood".
? and the Mysterians were indeed one hit wonders, only not with Wooly Bully. It was "96 Tears"-organ sound was really unique for mid sixties.
96 Tears later became a hit for somebody else-not sure who.
=============================================
"?" name was really Rudy Martinez, and the Mysterians were Frank Rodriguez (playing that Vox organ), Eddie Serrato, Frank Lugo and Bobby Balderrama.
That style of organ in 60's rock was unique, but there were many other 60's songs with an organ in the mix:
Runaway - Del Shannon
Happy Organ - Dabe Baby Cortez
Whistling Organ - Dave Baby Cortez
House of the Rising Sun - Animals
In A Gadda da Vida - Iron Butterfly
Tell Laura I Love Her - Ray Peterson
Light My Fire - Doors
from the 80's
kiss me - stephen "tin-tin" duffy

=============================
I think the actual title of the Boogeyman song was, "Your Nose Is Gonna Grow", by Johnny Crawford - but he had a couple other hits - Cindy's Birthday is one...
Also, you mentioned Floyd Cramer, but he had at least one other hit besides Last Date - he did one called "On the Rebound". And Dick and Dee Dee had another hit, "Tell Me" - "Tell me where I came to lose your love, tell me, tell me what did I do wrong? Was it only make believe, why it lasted oh so long..."
The only one that comes to mind is "boots are for walk'n."
